and others that ST spoke to painted a sombre picture of what match days look like on weekends.

One fan estimated that there are usually about 40 to 60 people in the stands.

"The overall match attendance remains stagnant," said Tan, who added that there has been an increase in dedicated fan bases for a few clubs.

"Most matches now take place in somewhat empty stadiums, (which is) a huge contrast to the lively atmosphere of the 2022 season."

Players have also hit out at the lack of live-streaming for matches although match highlights are available.

An official involved in the women's game, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, raised the question of why WPL matches are not scheduled before SPL matches at the same venue on weekends and marketed as "double-headers". This, the official suggested, could provide an opportunity for the women's game to attract the supporters attending the men's match.
