Western Sydney Wanderers vs Central Coast Mariners 6/1/2013 6:00PM

Hope Kwabena gets a run. I think if he gets going and finds his stride, he can really become something special. (95 speed on FIFA 13)

CCM havn't been playing their best football. We have been in good form. I have high hopes for this one, even though we won't be playing our best side.

Keen just to get to Parra stadium and chant my lungs out. 

Hopefully I'll have ^this^ banner made up for the game

Based on form, I hope we can nudge out a win from this. CCM are a solid team so I wouldn't underestimate them.

I've been waiting 40 years to have my own team here where I grew up. I've been watching/playing football all my life and only dreamed of seeing what I saw last Tuesday, in my own back yard. 300m line ups for tickets, whole crowd participation (I was in Eastern Stand) too old to keep up with you lot...lol... Sensational stuff keep up the good work and I promise I will sing loud and proud up with the other grandpas in the stand. Only 4 more sleeps to go before we can smash the competition leaders.

Welcome and like your self I'm an east stand supporter. get down to the Woolpack for a few pre game drinks, you'll love the atmosphere.

Can't wait to rip up my mate from school Gk Matt Ryan I'll make sure he sees me behind the goals row 1 I've been tearing him up all week on the phone and on game day piss the **** out of him.... Funny thing was at school I used to think he was the crappiest keeper the bloke is decent but not good enough against my WSW

I think giving Kwabs his first start against his own club might be a bit too much. Would happily have him on the bench for a last 15 minute run at Josh Rose though.

In answer to Tigers' "can Haliti play on the right?" the answer is a resounding "YES" as evidenced by his performances there in pre-season. I'd suggest that we'll be looking at:

------------Covic------------

Polenz---La Rocca--NTS---Cole

-------Mooy---Poljak---------

--Haliti-----Ono-----Bridge--

------------Gibbs------------

Bench: King Tyson, D'Apuzzo, Appiah-Kubi, Trifiro.

I think we have a hell of a match on our hands this weekend, folks. I agree with Delilah, a lot of the match will be decided on whose fullbacks do the best job. Shannon was my 2nd rated player for us against MV, hence I think he'll hang on to the left-back role this week. Anyone who doesn't let Rojas past once is OK by me and should be able to do the same job on Pedj.

Not online at the moment. Bought a pre-owned FIFA 13, but didn't have an online pass......

After the derby I was thinking about the tune by Starship "We build this city" to be converted to exactly what you would have on this banner. Simple lyrics, yet not complete..... "We own this city (pause), We own this city oh Wanderers_ We own this city, (pause), We own this city oh Wan_de_reeeeers..."

Someone like to add a verse??

Does anyone know how long Dino will be out for or the extent of his injury?

 

I like Haliti getting a run, it looks as though he has trained hard in the "2nds", he looks as though he is about go. Looks sharp.

 

Again, LaRocca will be solid.

Dino will be out for 2-3 weeks approximately

still two days to go til the game and already starting to go ****in mental.....

La Rocca will start for sure

-------------------Covic-----------------
Polenz---La Rocca--NTS---D'Apuzzo
---------------Mooy---Poljak----------
---------Cole-----Ono-----Bridge---
-------------------Gibbs----------------

Bench: Tyson, Haliti, Appiah-Kubi, Trifiro.

Is the team i'd go for. Or even Haliti for Gibbs, either way it'll be a tough game, but heres hoping we can snatch the 3 points.

This.

Just seen on Ticketek that the RBB section is sold out again for Sunday. Has there been anything arranged to keep Bay 56 clear for the RBB on the march?

Yeah we're sorting something out. Got a couple of guys who are going to skip the march and block the first 2 rows for the main RBB guys and a row for the drummers.

dont think so, but something needs to be done otherwise the march is going to die out.

Just spoke to Shaun Mielekamp. As our march leaves the Woolpack at 5.10pm he and some stewards are going to do a sweep of Bay 56 and check tickets. Those with GA tickets will be asked to move and it will be explained politely that the RBB are on the way and this is where they stand. They will be directed to Bays 55 & 57. He said they may also put notices on the appropriate seats saying 'Reserved - Capo's' and 'Reserved - Drummers' so this may help. We'll see how it goes and we can refine it. He also mentioned that they will probably extend the active support bays to 54 & 58 for Australia Day as it's growing so fast.

word is poljak is in doubt for sunday as well...not confirmed ATM

thats awesome john

Glad to see something is being done. It does get frustrating when you return from the march to see most seats are taken when you have tickets to the active bay.

Northern end GA all sold out for Sunday as well.

This is gonna be a big test without Beauchamp leading the back line... gonna have to really defend as a team for this one.
