Amazing NSW NPL crowds

[Stuckey]

APIA Leichhardt got 5782 fans along to their game yesterday.
Now Sydney Olympic just finished their match in front of 7204 fans!

Amazing considering the Rugby season has started and HAL is still going.

It is really great to see. Hopefully the NPL gets the momentum we need to provide a vibrant second tier and food for thought for expansion sides.

[Stuckey]

Yeah absolutely. I hope this gives the NPL some momentum and the national pointy end of the comp is well attended. That along with the FFA Cup offers IMO a real possibility of a second tier in the coming years. We're still miles away from that but the sprouts are starting to show IMO.

Brilliant!

That's more than Heart and CCM isn't it? Hopefully they can keep this up on a regular basis.

This is a great way for FFA to gauge which teams would be good for expansion further down the track.

It helps that Olympic have signed Kyrgiakos on a three week guest stint I'd say though.

The APIA crowd is probably a better sign.

Definitely more than the Heart who's already poor crowd averages include the enormous gates that the Victory take 3 times a season.

CCM are marginally better - and I guess they also benefit from large away gates.

APIA leichdardt was due to a new stadium or something if i remember correctly ?

I know there were definitely 2 block buster events in the nsw pl that were expecting big crowds. Obviously olympics greek god was one of them
