After 5 long months, it returns...
Welcome everyone to the 2013/14 edition of the Crowd Thread!
It's been a while!
With just over 7 days left until the new A-League season is upon us, we turn the page to a new chapter of footballing analysis. To all followers from previous years, it's a pleasure to have you back. For those of you who are just dipping their toes into the beauty of statistics and number-following - join us!
As you all know - this thread will follow the ebb and flow of attendances over 27 weekends across countless venues, spanning two countries. At the conclusion of each week the fixtures and their corresponding crowd figures will be posted, along with Season Averages for each club (as well as the league overall)
Here is where we left off at the end of 12/13 regular season:
Melbourne: 23,089 (13)
Sydney: 18,629 (13)
Brisbane: 13,416 (13)
Newcastle: 13,388 (13)
Western Sydney: 12,485 (14)
Adelaide: 10,332 (13)
Central Coast: 9,920 (13)
Perth: 8,643 (14)
Heart: 8,568 (13)
Wellington: 7,170 (13)
2012/13 Total: 1,661,362
2012/13 Average: 12,306
Which club will prosper off the park for the new season? How will Sydney fair in its honeymoon period after a record breaking year in 12/13? Could Melbourne break its 28K average barrier it set in 06/07 with arguably the best squad in the league? Can neighbours Heart finally lift their attendances into the lofty heights of 5-figure territory with the signing of Harry Kewell? Can the Wanderers build on their hugely successful debut?
All this and more will be revealed in the coming months.
To recap here is the list of Season Averages over the past 8 seasons of the A-League. With the 12/13 year sitting pretty in third, it will take a great effort to top it.
07-08: 14,610
06-07: 12,911
12-13: 12,306
08-09: 12,180
05-06: 10,956
11-12: 10,478
09-10: 9,793
10-11: 8,429
Round One is fast approaching. Here is the first line up of games..
Now is the time to make your predictions and speculate on the season ahead.
R1
Sydney v Newcastle - SFS
Central Coast v Western Sydney - Gosford
Melbourne v Heart - Docklands
Wellington v Brisbane - Westpac Stadium
Adelaide v Perth - Hindmarsh
Some very tasty games in there indeed. For reference, in 2012/13 the opening round attracted over 93,500 people. An average of 18,700 per game and the highest for an opening weekend! Could this be topped?
