    Yes, it clearly wasn't economics or performance that was the determining factor.

    According to the "spreadsheet" yes

    [QUOTE=Can’t wait for 20000 at the next force game.

    Then I won’t need to comment here again/QUOTE

    No need to comment go to the swinging pig and voice your opinions loud

    [QUOTE=Perth boosts 2.17 million

    So WF next game will destroy attendance records?

    2006 first game was a sell out. 36000 plus

    2017 first game 7000

    What happened? Socioeconomic changes? Poor Board desicions? Extension on poor coaches contracts? Bad recuirtment?

    Shame. I was in the crowd in 2006 and thought I was going to enjoy a life of fun times.
    [/QUOTE]

    4.5 to 2.2 yet the 2.2 could pull a bigger crowd with out being subsidized...

    Why did you stop coming? Soft supporter?

    As I said to the Rebel Narks on Facebook! If one of the factors was our attendance for getting chopped - which i’m not sure about because I haven’t seen the spread sheet! Then all Australian clubs are rubbing the Force fans nose in it by not turning up! They are becoming the sea of empty seats. It is the opening round of the season. Melbourne and the Waratahs have got high expectations of having a good season and it was a chance to see all the new additions. If you want to compare start of 2017 - I was disappointed with crowd but then no team from any region excelled at producing bumper crowds. That being said at the start of 2017 most experts were expecting the force to finish bottom again and not be competitive. This not an excuse but a reason for the crowd as I have stuck to my team like a lot of people on here through the thick and sometimes very thin fortunes of the force.

    This being said the Force being removed partly because of attendance - you’d think the supporters from other SR franchises would get the hint and start turning up.

    I guess they know their team will never be chopped so why bother going to the effort of going to the game when you can watch it on your huge plasma TV and drink cheaper beer while slouching on the couch at home. Foxtel don’t care about attendance, only viewing figures. And as long as Foxtel keeps bankrolling the ARU, why would the ARU care about attendance? As they have demonstrated ad nauseam this past few years, the ARU is not really interested in the fans or even in growing the game; just broadcast income to splash on its executives’ and directors’ pet projects.

    The Sunwolves had a better crowd than the Rabble and Tahs.

    Surprised that Sam Wykes is not even 30 yet. He put in a good shift. I wonder if Twiggy will get him back to Perth.

    Here’s a thought . Have a look at Rugby in the UK . Top sides playing in front of 20 000 in a fantastic atmosphere on a small intimate ground . Great to watch and even better to be there ....... then Waratahs at ANZ or Reds at Suncorp or Rebels at AAMI . 11000??? in a 50000 seater . Squat atmosphere with echoes around the ground and no desire for people to turn up to sit in empty stands . Move all Rugby to smaller stadia to create the required atmosphere. NIB is perfect!

    Superbru had Sharpie encouraging people to join their Super Rugby tipping competition.

    The sad thing is that the Reds and Tahs have shone when the game is run properly they can fill those stadiums.

    Could not help to notice how few ‘Japanese’ players play for the Sunwolves. A team full of journeymen. How is this helping Japanese Rugby. Love to see them employ the SA quota system.

    That occurred due to the fact that Sanzaar threatened to kick them out. I don't blame them at all for doing that.

    Actually, neither the Reds nor the Tahs have sold out Suncorp or SFS. The Reds have sold out at Ballymore, the Brumbies have sold out GIO, but only for finals matches. The Rebels have never sold out AAMI. We did sell out NIB (at least once, I think twice).
