Just a bit more of a look this morning and some more interesting trends at the other end of the scale....
2012: 3 games under 7k (2 at Skoda 1 at BISP)
2013: 4 under 7k (including a disastrous Mother's Day lunchtime game against Crows under 6k)
2014: 1 game under 7k
2015: 1 under 7k
Manuka has had one game under 7k each year bar 2012 - 2 against the GC and 1 against Port
They've also had one crowd over 10k each year bar 2012 - St Kilda, North and Geelong.
The St Kilda game was first under new lights and North have a slight, though distant, history.
I can see why we've asked not to have the GC there again for a while and instead have a halfway decent Victorian team.
Our last Spotless game under 7k was Rd 12 2013 against Port - a team we've never gotten more than 7k at home to see. (6811, 6601, 6549)
We have to get our numbers up for the derby. We have to set ourselves a realistic target next year - at least 12,500 wearing orange, something like that, so that we crack the 20K mark for the first time.
There are more than enough Swans fans in Sydney to easily sell out Spotless Stadium, but to date, they haven't. It's strange how so many of them find excuses not to come and see their team play.
