Question: Why is that the Premier Soccer League teams struggle to fill up the stadiums like Kaizer Chiefs? I was watching the game in Cape Town and it was a double header maar I saw more Chiefs supporters than the Ajax Cape Town team. What is the real issue?
Bra Pule gives few reasons on this matter;
1. Football fanatics still want to be part of or be associated. What fans get is very little value for their time and money.
2. We cannot rely on old age traditions like one guy they call PRO to run around the stadium dancing and hope that is entertainment.
3. We as fans do not see the value in stadium experience, why spend so much zak, if I can see the whole thing, with replays, at home at fraction the cost, (I'm talking about beer spending).
4. In the first 12 games of the season, PSL was averaging 1.1 goals a game, (seeing one boring game is a shame, seeing 2 in a row, is hard, seeing 3, it's your fault).
5. The clubs lack new and fresh ideas to market the team on a level that is appealing and sexy, people like sexy and appealing at a social level.
6. The people who have big spending power are not catered for, ie, Whites and Indians. They are unable to identify with the culture, kinder like me finding it hard to spend good money on an average rugby game.
There are so many reasons, was just mentioning a few.
In terms of games and attendances, I personally sometimes watch games cause I wanna rate how boring can it get.
