2009-2013? Trend was a high then a low and then a slight overall pick up in last three years. You need to look at three year trends over a ten year period to see what is happening beyond freak years of either a high or a low. Same with NRL. We have been reasonably static for a long term with a three year trend of a slight drop.
Our trend looks like this
2006-2008 around 15.5k
2009-2012 increase to around 16.3k
2013- 2014 drop to around 15.9k then last season a significant drop from the
Previous two years 15.9k to 15k. We will see this year if that was a glitch and we get back up to our norm which is around 15.9k-16.4k or if the low trend continues.
Maybe the eels and Knights will be more successful and bring the avg up a bit. Cowboys might increase on the back of the premiership and possibly warriors if their signings perform. Other big fanbases seem like they will be up near the top, Souths,doggies and Broncos so expect their crowds to perform strongly. Others are lower fanbases and likely to remain similiar.,over all if eels, warriors and the other big clubs all perform well on field I would expect to see the NRL crowd avg go back up to around 16k - 16.5k this season.
