Western Sydney Wanderers vs Melbourne Victory 6/1/2015 7:30PM

we need a vid of farked your mum chant

Can't make it so everyone else better pick up their 'obnoxiously loud' and 'won't stop singing out of tune even though no one else is singing in the whole bay' games.

For the first time since the first few weeks of season 1 I'm gonna say I don't think we can get a result in this game. This club proved me wrong back then and i really hope they can prove me wrong again. Sadly I don't think this will be the case but hell, I was brought up watching Burnley. Win, lose or draw I'll still be there sreaming for the side to do well.

 

 

I actually think that we might be in with a little chance here. Long shot I know, but still Victory looked far less formidable against Perth than earlier on this season. Maybe having Milligan away weakens their midfield more than you would think. Delpierre still injured, Leijer is out now for a 1 game suspension too. Shame that Khalfallah is back - he has been deadly this season.

  

Very disappointed again after performance against CCM however ....

Feel heartened after watching the MV scum lose yesterday to Perth in downtown beautiful Geelong , admittedly to a Perth team who are performing much better than us !!. Winning games like this on Tuesday night against a team I personally dislike nearly as much as ESFC  ( especially dislike their mongrel  thug of a manager and arrogant elitist supporters ) . winning  against the odds and recent form are possible and are what for me makes football the game it is you just never know !!!!!! .  Lets get behind the team more than ever and make  it as hostile as we can for their players and any scummy victory supporters who venture out to Wanderland. 

 

Cant wait for Tuesday bring it on

I really hope that we can do a number on victory like Perth, Perth were pretty much second best all game except for the goals colomn, defending for there life, sitting deep hitting on the counter and just riding out there luck. It would be great if we could do what they did but the difference is that we don't have anyone upfront that is looking like scoring. Unless someone can start converting our chances just like Perth did converting there two first shots into goals it might be another tough game for the boys and the members in the stands. Unfortunately apart from a bit of fatigue (victory died out after 75mins and have one less day to recover than us) they will be pumped up to win against us and if they come out firing on all cylinders getting an early goal boy we could be in trouble with our team already low on confidence. If you also take into account that we will be missing quite a few of our first choice players, I just hope that the players selected just do us proud, putting in a good performance and putting in 110% on the pitch. For a team that is so out of form, that is all we can ask for!

Ooops - sorry  - double post

 

  

    Not sure if I should say this.... or not.....

 

This chant won't have quite the same ring to it ....being sung by fans of the team in 10th position........... but still!   

 

the chant isn't about league position, its about despite the fact that we are in last place and still outsing them

All day at the cricket, straight to Parra to watch us start our 16 match winning streak against these wankers.

 

Gonna be a good day.

Crowds of 14,000 are nothing to be proud of, no matter the circumstances.

To think that less than 70% of our paid up members can be bothered turning up to support our team, is extremely disappointing.

It seems like we make any excuse for poor turnouts, mid week games people are coming home & hard to travel or the Christmas holiday games when it's not that hard to think that 25% of our supporter base is on holidays elsewhere in NSW at the moment. You've just got to accept that with our 19,000 members that there will always be those than can't make games despite the best effort of others. I remember last year travelling 8 hours to come back for the NYD game but doubt others would do the same.

 

What is incredibly disappointing is not that members can't attend games but rather we have people wanting to attend matches but can't get tickets or the buy back scheme is not being put in place so those that can't attend can actually have an official route to pass on the tickets to others.

Prydz I work away from home 5-6 days a week. My life for the past year has revolved around Coffs, Taree, Armidale, Queanbeyan and now maitland. Myself and a mate ensure we use our membership to their full extent. In this time we have missed 2 home games including mid week fixtures. What annoys me most is seeing fans sitting on the hill behind the North terrace watching over the fence at empty seats. The club should throw open the gates at half time to these people. Just hope the club are keeping track of blow ins that have memberships only for big games I.e derby, victory

Yeh look, I was trying to capture people that travel to games like yourself (thinking of people like lloydy too) thar go above and beyond to use there ticket to make sure that the seats for WSW remain full. I only wish more was being done to lift these attendances!!

I call bullshit on the 14,000. There were easily 16,000 there and I am going off eels games I have been to where the crowd has been packed to the rafters, yet they have called 18,000?? Maybe certain turnstiles arent counting the crowd. There may have been 4000 empty seats spread around the ground on Thursday. Still on a very hot New Years day and stuck in last spot, 14-16k fans turned up to watch a game on a Thursday night. Not a bad effort.

On the turnout figure - firstly I doubt there were 6-7,0000 empty seats at the game. That is nearly the equivalent of the entire east or western stand been empty. No way.

 

Secondly people need to be mindful of the dynamics we find ourselves in.

 

We are the hottest ticket in town. People habe brought memberships just to get a seat. Even if they know they wont attend every home game.

 

With our horrible record so far this season some may be less likely to go.

 

So evem though there has been "sell back" options or talk of, not everyone does it. And the amount of tickets we have to the general public is severely limited so we cannot replenish the numbers ofnmore then say (approx) 2,000 members not turning up.

we really need a tactician (ante) who can play football. seriously our youth team play more European style football. build from the back to the mids to the front.  it appears that under popa we go too direct. the CBs either pass to themselves and then woof it up to the park to the strikers or wingers. we cant blame the players they are playing on  the instructions of the coaching staff. our coach is an old school defender and our assistant is a pom. out engine should be our mids who control the game and become the play makers, right now there just defender sitting in front of the CB.  they hardly get the ball to do anything with it.

We just got new ticket scanners, there is no way that we can blame a faulty machine or tickets not scanned on entry for the lack of numbers. You make a great point, 7,000 is the east stand, if you combined all the empty seats together would it have equated to the east stand missing? I can definitely say the empty blue seats were really noticeable sitting in the east stand looking at the west stand but yeh not that many!

^^^^  Re the perennial problem of empty seats....Not sure if this has any relevance whatever, but I'd be interested to see if this is the case for anyone else.

 

During the last two seasons, I have had an unoccupied seat beside me in Bay 48 EVERY SINGLE GAME.  Hasn't mattered whether it was a derby or a game against the Victory .... it has never been occupied. The group in the next seats along changes a lot, but this particular seat does not appear to belong to them.

 

How does that happen?  Are there some seats around the stadium, which for some reason or another,  are not occupied by members, and because they are single seats are not ever purchased??

The RBB is empty on the fringes but bear in mind when judging bays as "empty" that the RBB stand "squash in" towardw the centre.

 

Thus towards the middle there maybe be 1.5 people per seat.

 

If you were to go one per seat RBB would look more full.

Good post.

This is what I love about our youth team and Trevor Morgan. They play through the spots all the way up to striking distance. It works well every game. This team work very well together and I rarely see a big vacant area on the pitch. They work exceptionally well out from the backs.

 

Watching the first team I notice some big gaps between the defenders to mids or mids to upfront and a lot of vacant green. Then we start to see more of a long ball game. In my opinion Kalmar filled some of the gaps. I don't know what's really going. Would love 1 millionth of the knowledge and experience of our first team players and staff to try and understand the reason they seen, to me, to play a certain way. To me again they seem to be missing effective shape in the middle of the park.

Mostly they are pushed to far forward possibly? We know we are struggling to score goals, but the smarter lads than me could help me?

 

Do the mids seem to be playing to far forward or maybe out of shape leading to some vacant land all over the park?

 

Besides not communicating in close when they are pushed up closer to the forwards within striking distance.

 

Thoughts?

I thought 14k was about right tbh. Regardless, the previous posts about members not showing up are accurate. The problem is we have a virtually members only crowd at the moment. Those extra 4k seats (if it ever happens, forget the pipe dream of a new stadium) will make a big difference. Keep the membership cap the same as it is and then overall average will go up. A lot of people buy memberships and only intend to go to a few games but because the capacity is so small they see buying a membership as the only way to ensure they get tickets for the select games. A bigger stadium removes this pressure. 

My theory anyway.

Bit off topic but does anyone ever take babies to games ? I've got a little 5 month old and want take my partner and the little guy to a game . I have little ear muffs for him so it's not to loud just wondering if anyone has ever seen people with babies at games or if it just doesn't happen ..

I'm in bay 25 and there are a couple of 2year olds that are there with their parents every game. Its good because we've known them as babies in the 1st season and over the last 2years we've seen them grow.

Yeah I might give it a go I wasn't to worried about going to nrl games later in the year because I'll probably have the whole bay to myself . Just wasn't sure about the Wanderers games

My son is 6 months old. His first game was ACL final and we only waited that long coz it wasn't warm enough. He is fine. Loves it!

My 3 month old has been on every game bar 1 since he was born. It can get a little hard work, especially if there's no spare seat next to you but he loves it now. Maybe just the people and colours, not the actual football. That's been crap.

Does he have any tips on how we can scrounge our first win? No one else seems to know.

South end is good for bringing kids and you can park the stroller at the top platform parts and still watch the game.

 

I wonder if a 5month old child doing the poznan is some sort of guiness record.

lol!!

Well I'm sold on the idea now to the gauntlet of actually getting a couple of tickets to the game .. Should be fun
