Crowds - The thread of Australian whining
I know it has been bought up before but what about the kids go free with paying adult. Good way to introduce familys to (or back to) the ROF and boost numbers.
I hate to be negative, especially with the week coming up, But i thought that was average as crowd. Was realistically hoping for 10.
I don't know what can be done to boost numbers, but the Nix have 3 or for week until the next home game, hopefully some initiatives can be thought out.
Ok I'm done.
I think quite a few occassional attendees will be tied to the All Whites and their football mindset will be about that
I think that is very true especially with money been an issue many might be putting all their cash in the All Whites game and possibly can't invest in both AW and Phoenix.
That said, with a good result or even a close game we should see a rise in numbers at subsequent home games, fingers crossed
Kiwis like winners. Look at the warriors. I wonder what their core support is when they are losing, because mention the playoffs and mount smart sells out. That next game will only be a few games away from the end of the season, so we should be in the hunt and on the way to the world cup. Make it 15k.
Probably shouldn't say.

As I mentioned in another thread - is anyone disappointed by the low attendance so far?
Maybe I was expecting too much after a good end to last season and a great WC showing.
Modest increase in membership and modest crowds so far.
Underwhelmed.
Hopefully as the weather improves and other sports begin to finish we will see a big pick up.
I'm happy it hasn't gone down like 90% of the crowds in the a-league.
I think bandwagoners have had too much football for a while.
Buffy, prices gone up from $25 to $27 for an adult in the zone. only a couple of bucks increase but just that little closer to $30 could be a mental put off.
22 unbeaten games at the stadium, finish 1 game away from the final, I mean what the feck do they have to do to get the season 1 crowds back?

Yep - can't see any big crowds without some major promotion (and fine weather).

I don't think we'll start seeing 10-12k until end of the season if we are really in the hunt for the title/playoffs.
Its TUESDAY 12th October Zonknz. No crowds for wednesday for sure.
