[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 928850, member: 74121"] I think it is fair to say that: a) attendances in some Tier 1 nations (mainly SA & Oz) have been dropping in recent years b) that the Pro14 hasn't yet made the impact in SA that we'd been hoping for The Kings got an attendance of 20,000+ plus for a derby game in Super Rugby 2 years ago (hosting the Sharks I think at a time when the Kings could have made the playoffs). So the fans are there, they are just not engaging with the competition at all. The Cheetahs situation isn't much better and SA fans point out that Bloemfontein isn't that big a city and Cheetahs fans are distributed across a huge geographic area. [/QUOTE]
