Just imagine how the Souths and sharkies fans thought ont heir recent historic wins.

Or Sydney Swans fans who stuck with their club for something like 71 years between championships.  That's the big difference between NZ and Australian and EPL sport culture - we're a nation of glory hunters.

You are right but I wonder if this is not simply due to a small population size and football not being a main spectator team sport.

HAL has large audiences in Australia even if football is not the main spectator sport either because of the sheer size of their cities with at most two HAL clubs per large population centre.   

Maybe we are not more fickle, but our core audience is simply smaller here, and looks lonely in a stadium of 40K capacity.

Ok so why does Perth Glory get close to 10k on the same day & time and in the same City while BBL and Tennis is on?.

what's gosford's and newcastle's pop? Their crowds are decent, even non nsw derbies, considering how poor they have been for some time.

No way that CCM get decent crowds in non-NSW derbies. Last season they got 6.4k vs us, 4.5k vs City, 5.1k vs Brisbane, 5.1k vs Adelaide...  Newcastle do seem to do a bit better but not hugely different to us. Last season usually around 7.5k for non-NSW games. Greater Gosford is about 380k people, Greater Newcastle is 540k.

Bollocks that CCM get decent crowds in non-NSW derbies. Last season they got 6.4k vs us, 4.5k vs City, 5.1k vs Brisbane, 5.1k vs Adelaide...  Newcastle do seem to do a bit better but not hugely different to us.
