Going by the numbers provided above, it looks like achieving an average attendance of 1000 would categorize operations as a success. An average attendance of 250 might be enough to see the team breakeven. If this is the case, I think Foothills will have a fair bit of time to build their base and develop a core following.
It’s going to be a combination of drawing in people who are unaware (e.g. Youth teams and people new to footy) and getting people who are interested to actually turn up. There are probably several quick ways to manage the former and I’m interested to see how the latter can be tackled.
