The background to my comment is simple - the WF is a business, a business needs money to survive, a business that is a sporting franchise gets a big portion of its money from local sponsors and (to a much, much lesser extent) local people who pay for memberships and tickets. In the age of professional sport I think it naive to believe that the main reason a CEO wants to get 7 home games is for the sheer enjoyment of its fanbase. It’s as much (and in my opinion, more) about the financials as it is about the poor old bums-on-seat fans. That’s the point I was making. Nothing sinister or snide or cryptic.
As for Andrew Forrest, I’m sure he’s extremely keen for this business to turn a profit as soon as possible so he can turn off the tap. That’s not a criticism, by the way.
