I have not done an analysis compared to other A-League clubs but compared to the Hurricanes and Lions, and taking 2008 as the base, average crowd trends are;
Nix; 2009 (+5%), 2010 (+35%, excl. playoffs), 2010 (+105%, incl. playoffs)
Canes; 2009 (-9%), 2010 (-17%)
Lions; 2009 (-1%), 2010 (-47%)
Despite the negative economic impact of the recession on many Wellington businesses and the job insecurity for a lot of public servants our crowds are improving - a good news story.
Some decent weather, a continual improvement in form and results and a couple of home payoff games and we will be looking just fine.
For ease of comparison the average attendances for the Nix are calendar year not season and Nix exhibition games are excluded.
