TIO NTFL Drawing Unprecedented Crowds in 2014-15 Season.

The TIO NTFL attendance figures for the 2014/15 season are on record pace with more than 70,000 patrons through the gates since Round One in October 2014.

Analysis of the past five years reflects an increase of close to 12 per cent on the 2013/14 season attendance figures.

With two weeks of Territory football remaining, attendance figures are looking to eclipse the TIO NTFL’s previous record numbers for a home and away season set in 2012/13.

Community Football Manager Anthony Venes believes the growth in attendance is indicative of the continued growth and popularity.

“Current figures show a cumulative increase in attendance of 31 per cent over the past five seasons,” Venes said today.

“This is consistent with the growth that has occurred in the NTFL competition during the same period of 33 percent”.
