Don’t get me wrong, I’m not happy with a draw, but I can understand why we settled. Can you imagine if we pushed for a winner and conceded? I doubt there would be too many thrilled people on here, there would be complaining about an 8 game losing streak, poor tactics from Deans to chase a win that we didn’t deserve after a lucky penalty and the fact we didn’t get a point when we had one for the taking.
12k, 9k, 7k and now 4K are the averages for the last 4 years.
Higher crowd averages than western and MacArthur who you’d have to expect are in their honeymoon phase trying to bed down members.
You could also argue these are affected by Covid. victory went from averaging 17k last year to 7k this year. The leagues crowds in general are pretty low compared to previous years.
I think as a community, we have showed that if there’s a team that fights and is successful (more important), they will attract a healthy support. Too many disappointing seasons and nothing really positive has happened. Best things from the last 2 years are Roy re-signing, Yuel being a forward that scores goals for a few weeks and a gold kit. I think the numbers for MacArthur and western show that another franchise doesn’t exactly bring better figures or more support the way the WSW gang did.
The league itself is at a big crossroads. Honestly, I’m not sure it can thrive. When your crossroads coincides with a pandemic, it makes things difficult.
Imo, that Manchester United Rumour could provide a bit of a lift for the league and bring in some profile players.
That said, we should be selling our pandemic life here. Had dinner with a friend out from UK and they were absolutely amazed that it was business as usual. Surely there’s a market for some players who want out of their restricted and diseased regions.
