Ian Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Heres the run-down of the march for the semi, needless to say this result wasn't easy to get, so don't stuff it up for eveyone.March is at 6pm, and we are walking along marsden street. This has to be exact, I don't want to see anyone disregarding this and moving earlier because frankly I don't care how many posts you have or how awesome your collection of polo shirts are. We move at 6pm. Don't walk in front of the cop car which will be at the front of the march as it is the pace-setter. We are on marsden street and will be forming up on the road outside the woolpack's backgate (On Marsden Street between Macquarie and George). If you or your mates are planning on walking along church street. Don't.I don't need to remind you of why we are no longer on church street, but I will remind you to be on your best behaviour, the fact you are in a march with other wanderers fans going to a football match is not license to carry on like a dickhead. The laws of the state of NSW obviously still apply so anyone with flares or behaving like an idiot will be dealt with by cops. If there are media there just continue chanting and ignore them, don't give them anymore footage to use against us.For this one we will need volunteer marshals like standard so meet near the backgate at the woolpack. Please show respect to the marshals, if a marshal tells you to do something you should do it. Stadium security will probably take a little longer than usual so expect delays entering the stadium.Above all try to have a good time, I know this post may sound condescending but too many people are coming on the march and leaving their brains at home. Parramatta is our home ground, treat it like it is. Link to comment
mikey Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Great work Ian, hopefully this one goes alot better than the last one. Link to comment
JohnG Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Oh, and Ian forgot to mention one little thing. The Police are closing both lanes of traffic the whole length of Marsden Street. We're marching on the road the whole way! Link to comment
HungHuynh Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'd like to add something we've been building on through the week. If you have any black mourning armbands or black tape, bring it along. Link to comment
Bob Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) This needs posting on Facebook. My guess is that the dickheads are mostly there, especially the Red and Black Bloc page, and are unaware of this forum Edited April 9, 2013 by Bob Link to comment
srsen Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yeah I agree, FB'ing could be a good idea. Excellent news we have the march - thanks again to all the guys who worked to get this victory for us (only the first of the day im sure!) Man, I can see it now, the length of Marsden st all black n red. Will be like that Gosford pic on steroids! Let's hope somehow a semi-aerial shot can be taken of it! Cant wait! Should some marshalls maybe form a barrier at the front kinda thing to make sure idiots don't run ahead of the cop car to get a spot? Link to comment
Ian Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 This needs posting on Facebook. My guess is that the dickheads are mostly there, especially the Red and Black Bloc page, and are unaware of this forum It will be shared far and wide mate, I suspect the dickhead factor on this forum is very low also, but you never know who reads this. One other thing that came up was an issue with tickets, if you have a ticket for North Terrace/RBB and your entrance gate is not gate C you need to Immediately tell the security at the gate and they will escort you into the RBB end. You won't be able to move between the various sections of the stadium due to all the gates being locked. Link to comment
Balkanite Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hey Ian, excellent work by all as always! I'm happy to volunteer for Marshall duty if required, Let me know Thanks Balkanite Link to comment
Ian Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Man, I can see it now, the length of Marsden st all black n red. Will be like that Gosford pic on steroids! Let's hope somehow a semi-aerial shot can be taken of it! Sounds like you already got a semi. Link to comment
JohnG Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 We are going to need 20 marshals for this one. We will be under a lot of scrutiny and the way the march will be organised and marshalled will be a little different to previous marches. If you want to help marshal you are very welcome but will need to be at the Woolpack no later than 5.45pm for a briefing and to get into position. Let us know via this thread if you want to help so we can compile a list of names. Link to comment

I'm definitely keen, ended up marshaling at Newcastle and would like to do It again, let me know if required =] Link to comment
BruceL Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yes, I'd like to help with marshalling! Link to comment
NickNova Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Another chain with the core boys up front like in Newcastle perhaps? It helped us in the band so no one overtook us... Share the word around the Woolie as well, I can see the randoms flocking for this one. Link to comment
Ian Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 a chain like we had in newcastle worked really well. would be great if we had that this match.Nick can you let all the band know 6pm is the time Link to comment
NickNova Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Will do Ian. Need to stress to everyone not to go anywhere until the band/core are in front behind the police car escorting us. Link to comment

Share the word around the Woolie as well, I can see the randoms flocking for this one. The arrangements are in place and were discussed at the meeting with the police and club last night. We have a matchday committee and meetings for a reason. Let's not turn this thread into a 'we should do this, we should do that' like so many other facepalm threads on this forum. Making suggestions after agreements have been made and signed off is a pointless exercise. If anyone has suggestions or input regarding matchday activities feel free to PM either me (Police & Security), Ian (March and Marshals), or BigDukes (Stadium and Active Support). Link to comment
NickNova Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Just a suggestion, people seem to not follow orders well on the day is all. Link to comment

KOBBSNO10 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'll put my hand up for marshalling again. I should be able to get to the Wollie just on time. (i'm working until 4.30pm) Link to comment
Hulkstrong Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ian. I'm in for marshalling brother. I'll keep an eye out for yourself or John at the Woolpack. Because I'm coming from work and I imagine other marshalls will be coming from work, can we centralise the meeting point outside as we may be denied entrance to the Woolpack. Link to comment
NickNova Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yeah I understand, there's always an arrangement that's been made, yet people still think it's a "yeah we're marching, let's do it whichever way we feel like" .. turds. You guys all put the hard yards in, if only people listened and followed instructions Link to comment
KOBBSNO10 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Just out of interest, Is Victoria road section of the march going to be closed on both sides of the road? Link to comment

BigDukes Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Just out of interest, Is Victoria road section of the march going to be closed on both sides of the road? No just westbound only traffic will be stopped and blocked off (so 1 lane essentially) All roads that intersect with marsden street will also be blocked off We will stop on the Bernie Banton bridge to do the usual little chant and continue again. I can not stress enough how important that this occurs without any hiccups Also - please note that there will be high police presence within the RBB up until kick off at which point police will leave and stadium security will take over patrolling the aisles. They wish to start cleaning that up as it gets jamp packed Link to comment
JohnG Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Just out of interest, Is Victoria road section of the march going to be closed on both sides of the road? Mate, you just hit on the tricky bit which is why I need to brief you all before the march. As we left wheel into Victoria Rd we will have the footpath and the left lane closed. The eastbound lane will be open to traffic. We need to redeploy the marshals during WDWSF? at the bridge to cover it. Trust me, I have a plan man! Link to comment
BigDukes Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Mack - can you please pin this thread. it is very important all members read Link to comment
Jowel Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Mack - can you please pin this thread. it is very important all members read Pinned. Great to hear the march is on. Will be very important that no randoms break off and walk down church street. Marshalls need to be vigilent there. Good luck. Link to comment
stavup Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Just more reassuring evidence that we are blessed with so many individuals that are sensible, and that the future for the Wanderers from a fan base perspective is set to thrive...great work for all those involved..we should see ourselves all as marshals , by demonstrating and modelling the kind of behaviour we expect from others, based on mutual respect blended with Western Sydney style passion....The Wanderers show has come to town for all the right reasons, we are very fortunate in so many ways..lets hope Rod is watching down over his team and convinces the big fella up stairs to let us wipe the floor with Brisbane...

But if I do, ill be outside the Woolie gate well before 5:45 Man, I can see it now, the length of Marsden st all black n red. Will be like that Gosford pic on steroids!
