I believe nothing is official at all in that list. It is merely provided for the information of the media and supporters.

I know about 20 people who have never been to a Wanderers game, and to very few A League games at all, that are coming tomorrow night. If people believe in the pax myth, it was over 5,000 last night.

I was speaking to a guy at work today who's a bit of a euro snob toward our league, but he's planning to come along tomorrow night and bring a friend, with indications their on the verge of signing up as members.

 

I may have given him a little push in the right direction, but it's still a stark change from the kinds of conversations we were having come the end of last season.

That seems to be the general trend with a lot of people.

PAX is definitely over 5000 as of Tuesday evening.

Bought my ticket this arvo, pax is 5980.

 

With Fred out it looks like Hoffman will be sitting in our midfield. The bloke can't make an attacking pass and his first touch is way too heavy. Unless JA mixes up our formation a bit I can't see the scoreline progressing past 0-0. You guys might get a late winner.

 

That being said, we always play better on the road, and at night. Oh yeah, and it always rains when we play.

 

Looking forward to it!

Crowd should be aroun what is was in game 1 which would be an amazing result.

hopefully but i think we will get a few thousand less than the first match but hopefully not, cant wait to see the crowd figures against the victory though

 

just out of curiosity who are you going for? i doubt your exactly a heart fan but we are from sydney so i am just curious

Will be arriving probably just before kick off because I have TAFE. I think I'll join the Corner Flag Crew for this one so I can learn the chants.

I think people are starting to realise you either jump on now, or be left behind.

I think you're right actually

I'm quietly confident we will post not only a win but a solid 11K crowd.

 

I've got 4 Viet mates coming who love football, but have never been to a game in Australia before.

 

After the derby last week, the 3 people I got tickets for that game are all returning.

 

Walking around Bankstown with the home shirt during the week, several people were fist pumping, or yelling out "Go Wanderers".

 

Playing pub poker at Parra Workers, the people there know I love my football, but it's a sign of engagement that they, not necessarily people interested in football, are having conversations about last fortnight's derby or Wanderers in general.

 

The juggernaut is definitely building! If the team continues with the impressive work on and off the pitch, we're going to be a real force to be reckoned with!

Stuff like this always puts a smile on my face. So proud to be a Wanderer.

Wearing mine at work today. So much more comfortable than usual office attire.

 

Anyone got a PAX from today?

 

No idea, someone said around 5500 mark earlier. I'd expect around 10k tonight. What happened to the weather? Didn't they forecast it to be wet and raining starting today? Good to have weather like this on game day, but will never forget the Poznan in pouring rain against the Mariners in our first ever A-League outing.

Is anyone able to say with certainty whether or not PAX includes members? I've heard people claim yes and no on this one...

It definitely doesn't for the Wanderers matches so its safe to say that whatever it is you can add 3500-4000 + walkups to it.

Cheers. I felt that would be the case but people seemed adamant it was an all-inclusive kind of thing.

 

P.S. Your lot are still a bunch of dirty ***** for using Tifosi before we had a chance to! :)

Same here, met our new COO today and was instant conversation starter. He's a Smurf member (hey no-one's perfect) and he said had he known I was wearing my kit he would've worn his. Was pretty funny as it derailed his meet and greet, was pretty sweet too cause my boss, our CFO and previous COO are all eggball fans and always gave me stick about football. His final comment "Nice to have another Real Football fan around the place", the look on everyone else's faces Priceless!

lol, it's a good feeling isn't it? Two of the directors here are rugby fans, one of which only kind of follows Sydney FC. One of the other staff here though is an avid Birmingham and Rangers fan, at least someone around here appreciates real football.

I'm on the sidelines today boys :-( i'll e watching it on my phone. All the best and make sure the press keep talking about the RBB.

Anything less than 10k is a disappointing crowd all things considering. 1st match v CCM was crappy weather – not the case today. 12k is where it should be @ tonight, esp after a win against the b2b champs!

C’mon you Wanderers!
