Aussie owner doesn’t want the nuisance of too many fans
Clive Palmer, The owner of new Australian A-League club Gold Coast United, is sick and tired of people not coming (they have the smallest average attendance in the league at 4,500) to see his team play in the 27,400 seat Robina Stadium that he's overpaying to rent for home matches, so he's opted to go with perhaps the dumbest PR move a club owner has ever attempted by closing all but one side of the stadium and only allowing a maximum of 5,000 people in for each game.
