Crowd Attendance averages for 2017/18
https://www.worldfootball.net/attendance/aus-a-leag...
Please note that the Newcastle Jest only averaged a little over 11k when they were sitting 2nd on the ladder for most of the season. Also their first home match against Perth had 16k+ attendees which would skew the average somewhat meaning that it was only home matches involving NSW based sides that have aided that average. Also I know they had several promotions involving reduced price ticketing throughout the year aimed at increasing crowd numbers.
Our biggest problem here is that it is extremely unlikely that we will ever see 500-2000 away fans at a home match meaning that we have to attract more locals to matches to achieve our "Metric".
It's quite easy to say "Win and people will come" but there needs to be more done to attract those people and keep them coming back for more.
