I know you'll all say a good business model with strategic planning.....etc etc. but crowds at Unley haven't increased and are no bigger than the Eagles or Norwood.
Any Sturt followers know?

Sturt cut back their expenses to the bone, because they had to if they were going to survive. They are efficient with the money for the sake of preserving their existence. They were gone in December 2012 otherwise.
They rely on volunteers in areas where some clubs have paid employees or contractors (eg cleaning) How sustainable this is longer term is debatable, but they have had no choice. Things might change as the finances improve.
But I think like all SANFL clubs actually growing their revenue base is a huge challenge, even if they do have a relatively strong support base.
Their attendances have been nothing outstanding but it highlights the struggle SANFL is going through.

Some Sturt supporters will deny this until the cows come home but a large sum of money was bequeathed to them by a supporter in recent years. Obviously they have wisely used this money to get a financial result this year.
