Maybe that explains the massive difference in average crowds from 95 to 96 onwards

"knowing you will be competitive"

= bandwagoners show up

Crowds double for the Swans when the AFL decided to give them an unfair advantage.

What have you proved besides your lack of knowledge?

Cost of living allowance has been done to death. Sydney is the most expensive place to live in Australia. Do some real research.

That is if you subscribe to the theory that the Adelaide oval redevelopment is an improvement.
