I think this is why PDL is the perfect level for the city at the moment. If my history is correct, it doesn't take massive attendances to make your PDL club break even. As such, the club has the time to sort out both on-pitch and pitch-side particulars. Most importantly, it allows for mistakes to be made and lessons learned. When the Storms and Mustangs made mistakes in the A-League, they didn't have the time or space to recover.
Nevertheless, a solution will need to be found and the sooner the better. A proper ground that could provide a niche footy atmosphere would definitely help but I think the club will need to try smaller things first. Someone mentioned that there is an increasing amount of interest in the BPL, which can be seen in the increasing amount of local supporters clubs. Maybe Foothills FC should organize a tournament between these clubs before a match and provide them with a free hot dog or entry to the match.
