The problem with the Gold Coast teams are that they always just suck, and I mean at all levels.It’s going to be hard for GWS to get big crowds as Sydney folk generally don’t turn up in big numbers to any sport. I do think they would be better suited in Canberra and tapping into the region. My parents and my brothers all live in the Southern NSW region and are all go to games in Canberra and in their communities there seems some decent supports for GWS.
As for the Gold Coast, no sporting team has ever done well up there but I think the Suns can go against the grain and attract a half decent crowd most weeks
On field success is marginal but even the front office of all teams is a ****ing joke.
You need success to build a supporter base and get kids excited to go to games. Then they grow up going to matches and then take there own kids, that’s how you build that inter-generation support.
Until Gold Coast gets a run of sustained success the supporter base will not grow much.
