A-League supporter ladder

642,000 support the Brisbane Roar.

Wow. I've been underestimating them all along. How do they squeeze themselves into Suncorp Stadium. It's capacity is a mere 52,000.

This leaves 590,000 standing outside in the pissing rain in Caxton Street....

It's just supporters mate. The Sydney Swans have 1.3 million supporters, they aren't exactly locked out though haha.
 
Only had time to speed read the article, but does it mention how they define 'supporter'?
 

Over 4 million Australians now support an A-League club, up over 1.4 million (+52.5%) on 2020​

Support for the A-League as a whole has increased over 50,000 (+1.3%) from a year ago and is up over 1,400,000 (+52.5%) on four years ago.
Since 2020 two new clubs have joined the A-League Men. Macarthur FC joined the A-League Men for the 2020-21 season and now has 58,000 supporters and Auckland FC joined the A-League Men this season and sits on top of the ladder undefeated after the first seven rounds of the season. Auckland FC debuted in the A-League Men after the interviewing dates for this research.
In total, over 1.6 million Australians (7.2%) watch the A-League on TV. However, a much larger 6.1 million (27.2%) have watched any soccer match on TV.
This large audience includes 5.3 million (23.6%) who watched at least part of the FIFA World Cup – last held in Qatar in November and December 2022. This means a significant untapped market of around 4 million Australians is available for the A-League, in the shape of those who exclusively watch international leagues or international tournaments such as the FIFA World Cup.
A look at who engages with the A-League shows TV viewership is highest for Generation X* (7.8%) and Millennials (7.6%) and Generation X (7.1%). When it comes to attending a soccer match the younger generations leads the way with Generation Z in front at 7.5% ahead of Millennials at 7.4%.

I get that you are joking, but when you look at the percentages, those numbers aren't actually very good for those on top of the list.
Look at the last WU home game (in Tarneit). 5.84% of the total number of WU supporters attended the game.
Then if we look at the last SFC home game, only 1.54% of their total supporters showed up.
0.96% showed up to see BR
1.58% showed up to MV.

This is why I asked if they defined the term supporter, because having 766k 'supporters' yet only 11k turn up to games raises a few questions with the research and what they define a supporter to be.
