History for Bullion

ballane

Most of what you say is true what you dont mention are all the factors that have gone against getting decent crowds. 
In no particular order: poor form, extended absences away from Wellington, weather,game times including scheduling.
They wont admit it but they have pissed a whole lot of fans off with the way they have been treated and spoken to by the club over the years. Once you have lost some of those most wont come back.

Yes the club has tried lots of things the one thing they havnt been able to deliver is a team that performs well on a consistent basis.
Love the idea of the young talent but think people are kidding themselves if they think people are going to flock to watch them especially if they struggle to compete.

Performs consistently well? Over the past 5 years we've been pretty consistent. I've run the numbers and only City, SFC and ADL have a higher average league position over those 5 years than us.

You look at CCM, they had some shocking seasons (ppg is closer to bottom than 6th) but overall standings they're fifth boosted by a couple of good seasons. 

Edit: We're fourth for goals scored per game, but our goals against per game is 3rd worst (probably the only stat where we are relatively poor) however goal difference per game is fifth best.
