Western Sydney Wanderers vs Newcastle Jets 23/10/2016 7:00PM

Guess I'm wearing my jersey to uni on Sunday hmm

This Friday-Sunday turnaround is waaaaay too long!

A rest for our boys who looked gassed won't hurt tho'

In

I'd prefer a bit earlier though, lots of evening games this season isn't the best with the kids.

*notice that we're playing a home game this week*

*finds out kickoff time is at 7pm on a Sunday*

I'm just half excited that we have a bit of optimism going into this week!

Might as well call it the shithole because that's probably what we'll be thinking Monday morning.  Apart from the 5-0 win of course with a Pio hattrick.

Any guess on crowd numbers?

Re-open Squad Development thread (as we are still developing).Otherwise rename it Squad Off Season Buying.

I reckon since we won last week 19k?? 1st game new stadium yeh..... unknown,,

I'm in 1st time I've ever had a ticketed full membership been watching since the beginning

who plays fifa17 ultimate team to many smurfs on it common!!!!

I'll be repping NTS in the stands one more time before I too **** off (for 4 months).

Any guess on crowd numbers?

 

10k - 12k. 

If Ugarkovic and Lustica play it will be cousin vs cousin.

I'd like us to break the Spotless record but more likely to be 14-15k

I'm really excited about going to Spotless.

It's a great stadium to watch sport at, even if we're going to be a little further away than we'd like for Football.

I have a feeling you're going to see and hear a different RBB this week too, after ANZ sucked the life out of the atmosphere two weeks ago.

I feel it could be bigger than the 15,000 figure.

Hoping for closer to 18,000.

Hope you're right...

But realistically, no more than 15k..

It's 7pm on a Sunday night.

Agreed. I don't expect to see nearly as many families there on Sunday

Sotirio says he's recovered from his injury and ready to be a sub.

I'll be overseas for our first couple of games at spotless 

I get to watch our mate Takahagi at Seoul FC as consolation   

I am very much looking forward to this game. Let's see what kind of music we can make in Spotless, and how it compares (if that is the appropriate word to use) with the GWS crowd.

It would be great if our crowds at Spotless could somehow average around 20,000 over the season. That is probably the only way we can get near the record regular season average of 27,728 set by Victory in the 06/07 season.

We should get even closer to that mark if the Sutherland Surf (or whatever they are called) are added for next season, as looks most likely.

the 7pm kick off can suck all the dicks, wont get home till 12-1 and then up for work at 6  fun times ahead 

Highly doubt we'll average 20k.

I agree with some others that the crowd won't be much more than 12-14k at best.

actually will get home around 11 but still ****

Where did this come from?

Last night on the FFA Cup coverage Andy Harper said something about expansion possibly happening "as early as next year" too. But no word in the media.

Dammit, I have to leave home at 4am Monday. In.

Logic and commonsense. I heard they were pretty much 'ready to go' (with preparing their entry into the competition) some time back, but protests from SFC delayed things. If the A-League is to be expanded, a team from that area would seem to have the best chance of being a guaranteed success.

Were the current arrangement where every team plays everyone else three times, to be maintained, there would be a total of 9 derbies in Sydney each season. This would be lucrative to the clubs, with bigger crowds and gate takings. It would attract greater and more prolonged media attention and more viewers to those screening the competition. All around, it would be a good thing for our game.

Let's just wait and see what the next few weeks reveal...

Logic & commonsense but needs a good dollop of sauce...
