ALL the ingredients are there. Now it’s up to Brisbane Roar fans to turn out in their droves at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday night to potentially celebrate premiership success.

Despite the Roar being nine points clear at the top of the table courtesy of a brand of football second to none in the A-League, Brisbane’s home crowds have been down in recent weeks.

In their past three matches at Suncorp Stadium, the Roar have averaged 12,158 fans, which has dragged their season home median down to 15,200.

While it’s still up from last season’s home crowd average of 13,417, Roar chairman Chris Fong wants an attendance spike this weekend when Brisbane host second-placed Melbourne Victory.

“If we’re averaging 15,000, I know we can go and hit 18 to 20,000,’’ Fong said on Monday night.

“We’re at Suncorp Stadium and we have a great family atmosphere, but we want the numbers up a lot higher and I think it’s achievable.

“We need to work on that, not just the Roar, but the whole league.

“One of the things that we’re doing heavily is investing in fan development and how to further engage our fans.’’

There should be no excuses for a below-par crowd on Saturday night. It’s not only a top-of-the-table clash against one of the competition’s marquee clubs, the match is being played in the Roar’s preferred timeslot.

Those factors, plus the fact Football Federation Australia chief executive David Gallop will be in attendance to deliver the Premier’s Plate should Brisbane win the match, should lead to the Roar’s best attendance of the season – 21,841 for their second round 4-0 win over Sydney FC – being challenged.

“We’ve got to be entertaining, and if we can be entertaining and have a performance where we can lift the silverware, everybody loves it,’’ Fong said.

“It’s great for Brisbane, it’s great for Queensland and it’s great for us.’’

Ticket sales trends on Monday suggested that a crowd of 20,000 was achievable. As expected fiery Roar striker Besart Berisha has received the mandatory one-match ban for his send off in Brisbane’s 1-1 draw with Sydney at Allianz Stadium last Friday night.

It will be the third time this season that Berisha has been unavailable to play against the Victory, the club he is joining next season on a marquee deal worth more than $1.5 million over two years.

The Victory are also in action on Tuesday when they host Japanese club Yokohama F. Marinos in an AFC Champions League clash at AAMI Park.

“We’ll make a decision on who to play (tonight), first and foremost to win a football game, but with the next four or five weeks in mind as well,’’ Victory coach Kevin Muscat said.
