If the ratios for "special events" to "normal matches" sticks the next round of AFLW will attract about 3000 spectators max.
There is a rider though, the feedback from families after the AFLW matches was that they preferred to take their young kids to those games as the atmosphere was much better for families and children. No drunks, no abuse, no brawling.
It's hard to know how the attendances will go in the second week. Folk I know who went to our game are sold on women's footy and intend to go next week. Folk who missed out last week are also keen to go. However, we're not playing one of the powerhouse teams. On the other side of the coin, it's now a double header and folk may want to take in both games.
I'd be surprised if we don't get 10,000 over both games.
