The A-League says it's not too concerned about the dwindling attendances to football matches.
Fans flocked to stadiums in record numbers to watch the A-League's opening round this season, but now just seven weeks later attendance figures have more than halved.
Bolstered by massive crowds in Sydney, Melbourne and Gosford, more than a hundred thousand people attended the first round in October - the biggest figure for a regular-season round in the eight-year history of the league.
However last weekend and just 46 thousand were on hand for round 8 matches.
Just 7,000 attended the Wellington Phoenix's match against Western Sydney in the capital.
Head of the A-League Damien De Bohun considering where matches were played last weekend, the dip isn't a surprise to them.
However he says they're very pleased with the way the season's travelling, the broadcast and crowd numbers are still considerably up from last year collectively.
