Attendance[edit]

I believe the correct average attendance for the 2018-19 season was 1,010, per SoccerAmerica^[1]. The number in the infobox used to be 833, but the source cited^[2] was referring to the 2017-18 season, NOT the 2018-19 one. That source says "Last season the average crowd was 833", but it written in April 2019, before the end of the 2018-19 season on May 12, 2019. It refers to 2017-18 season. This number (833) has unfortunately been referenced in a lot of other media so you can find it elsewhere, but (a) many of those reprints reference the same source [and also have the wrong season], and (b) it seems exceedingly unlikely that the average attendance was the exact same number in two successive seasons. The SoccerAmerica number of 1,010 is the only figure I can find anywhere for average 2018-19 attendance, and I know of no reason to disbelieve it.
