If they want to increase crowds, they must have smarter fixturing. Lining every round up against what the AFL have, then base your fixtures around that would be a good start.

Round 4 this year we had WCE & FREO playing on the Saturday, why not play at least one game or maybe two on the Sunday. A crowd of say 1600 for a Perth v Subi game could easily go to 2500 (or more) unopposed on a beatiful Sunday arvo. Thats a good $12,000 extra at the gate potentially for the home side.

We had an extra public holiday on the Easter weekend to cover the Anzac Day overlap. The WAFL decided to play 2 games up against the massive Collingwood v Essendon game as well as the Fremantle home game. The Tuesday was left vacant when it would have been a prime day to have the big SF v EF derby fixture. That would have knocked the crowd down by 5000 which makes no sense. Thats a good $60,000 less at the gate for Souths.... And the Perth v Swans crowd was down too. That same game a few years prior attracted over 6000. Once again a lack of forward thinking restricted the attendance when Tuesday was available without any major AFL interferance.

Round 3,4,14,19 and even round 17 could have been another option.... I agree SATURDAY is the main day for WAFL and it should be. But there is a place for a few games elsewhere. Gotta try outside the bubble when the opportunity is there. Its not 1975 anymore. We must give our product to the people a bit more these days, not expect the WAFL to beat the AFL and the loungeroom.

Even the last round was dissapointing. The Fremantle Derby crowd of about 4000 should have been more. But they are playing against both AFL clubs on TV and down the road at bloody 5.10pm. Sunday could have been an option especially considering two factors..... 1)Nothing interesting to watch on TV in regard to AFL games (AFL only play meaningless games on that last Sunday) and 2)The WAFL's finals series the following week is always on the Sunday the following week anyway. The teams would still have had a full week to recover anyway & this was known from round 1. The AFL have stated their intentions for their final round by having a floating fixture in place for this very reason. The WAFL obviously missed that one.

That SF v EF Derby "elimination" could have been given the best chance to get over 10,000 to the game. And once again another opportunity was missed by the WAFL..... again, agian, again.

I am very disappointed with Perth's average attendance. We as a club must make is a priority to get that 1822 up to the 2200 range a least. The Swans V Perth Games this year were not as big as recent.

I think Claremonts will pick up when they get there new stand.

I hope Subiaco and East Perth can keep the Good friday thing going.


Gotta admire West Perth.

Maybe clubs should sell the idea of a big day out in Mandurah when they play there. Get the Mandurah council on board for some give aways. Gotta get some numbers there. Show people the new stand. Clubs could maybe encourage all there supporters to make it a Colts Reserves League day.


Thanks for the numbers Bensti

Start winning games and playing finals and bingo crowd numbers increase.
We(perth) are down by about 5500 on last years crowd numbers and that was a wooden spoon year.
Supporters each and every year are dropping off and they will be hard to entice back.

Fans dont want to see 8 wins,9 wins etc...its all too familiar territory,they want to see consistant winning particuarly at home and enough wins to play finals.
