A bit tragic, despite the weather, that such a small crowd turn out to support and watch the top team in the Aussie group.
Says a lot about the general growing lack of interest in attending matches.
The Brumbies attendance has steadily decreased from >17,000 in 2009 to about 11,500 in 2016.
The drop-off for other Aussie franchises, over the same period, show a similar trend:
Waratahs: 24,000 to <20,000 (down to 17k in 2013)
Reds: >30,000 - 17,000
Force: >17,000 - <11,000
Rebels: >17,000 - >10,000 (only since 2011)
I'm looking forward to watching the remaining SR Finals as they well be free of the diabolical Aussie Fox Sports commentators.
