Posted in here and membership discussion for those interested in how memberships relate to crowd attendance.
Bit early and there will be outliers skewing the att figures (partic roosters) but here is how crowds are tracking v memberships. In most cases membership position is pretty accurately reflecting attendance avg position. Highlighted the ones where there is a more than a small discrepancy.
