I made the trip from Marayong (Blacktown) after work with my 4yo. I renewed an All-in, and there used to be 3 of us (plus my son) who had Wollongong memberships, all from Sydney. This year, only I renewed Wollonong. The other 2 (a couple) didnt renew due to the home ground changes, though in fairness they have been close to not renewing for a couple of years due to the Monday night and Friday night games as we were cutting it fine getting down there.
The crowd was disappointing, but the weather would definitely had something to do with it. Maybe ppl thought the hill would still be soaked??
And as far as $$ goes, for those ppl living in the Gong, a 4 game family pass in the Nthn or Sthn stands cant be too expensive surely?? Feed the kids before or after the game so you arent paying the high prices in the stadium, put a bottle of water and coke in each pocket and away you go.
In relation to the comment about having to fork out rego for junior league, doesnt that then entitle those kids to free entry?? So you are only then paying for the adults.
Lastly, the memberships can be paid over 12 monthly installments, so to blame ticket prices is a bit of a copout IMO
