Wanderers Powerchair Football

[marron]

Well done to those who went and supported the team (with more than just voices). Hats off emoticon (can't find it )

[CMontgomeryBurns]

This was one of the most fulfilling things I've ever been apart of. Bloody no-good sokhah hooligans.

[marron]

No channel 9 to capture it of course....

[krisp]

such a good experience!! also props to who ever posted about it on the ultras tifo forum

[JamCal]

Gutted I missed out on that! Is it going to be semi-regular or just a one-off?

[lukev891]

I Wish i could have came, i only found out a few hours before the game and i was already out, whens the next round?

[Rookoz]

InB4 the cove send a media release saying they did it first by going to wheelchair netball

[hawks2767]

It stands as one of the most amazing things the RBB has ever done, the fact you guys paid for their jerseys makes it even more special.

Bummed i had to leave at half-time. The post-match video looks amazing! Did we end up winning the game? 2-1 down when i left.

Nop final score 3-1, but Ben's goal was the best.

Shame couldn't make it well done guys you guys have done something special that means so much to the disabled community.

:good: :good:

So sad I missed out on this, didn't find out about it until the morning. Videos that have popped up on YouTube shows it was a fantastic day, and I'm sure the players greatly appreciated the turn out - and of course no Channel Nein there.

As captain of the Wanderers Powerchair Football Club, I would just like to thank everyone on behalf of the team and the sport.

 

Our players have played for Australia on the International stage in this sport and we have never played in front of a crowd this loud and that level of support. I had players from the other teams tell how much they wished they were on the team.

 

Although we lost, your support really picked us up and now we're determined to make sure next time you guys come we'll get the win, so we can really celebrate and raise the roof off Wandererland 2.

WHO DO WE SING FOR?

Mate, we were more than happy to go out and support you loud and clear! I was just loving it by the smiles on all your faces as we chanted during your game and after that. Felt super proud and I'm glad we came out to support you guys. Keep that determination and you'll get your win soon enough!

[CMontgomeryBurns]

Away trip anyone

[JamCal]

The next game is against Western Sydney Strikers.... Do we.... Do we cheer for both teams...? 

[Peaches]

Seen all the videos from the match.

I have a mates partner who works with them in day programs and says to me they are massive Wanderers fans too. Congratulations guys. I think you made a few dreams come true.

I'm so torn right now ... To give you an understanding, it's like choosing which team I hate most, Sydney FC or GWS!

 

Either way Welldone to the team for their efforts, I'm just dissapointed I didn't know about this till after the game!

[Ian]

Next time I think it will be much more public (crowd will probably be much bigger), we wanted to surprise the team and so it was hard passing the information around online discreetly.

[marron]

Good stuff Ian!

Wait, too early.

Was going to say it would have been good to actually know this was happening

Exactly, reason why we didn't publicly make this known when this was planned. The venue has a capacity of 300 people.

[CMontgomeryBurns]

By the way, what was that chant where everyone shimmies to the left and right after a few 'oles'?

[elchapo]

it shouldnt be up to the RBB to provide the team with jerseys, the club should really have done that

[Tranquilo]

agree and also you would think if they are an officials wanderers team then there events and information would be on the wanderers facebook page or their website rather than the association having to promote itself and self fund its way. I believe now that more people know about the wanderers wheelchair team there will be more support for the team vocally and financially across the board. 

[Wanderersfan91]

It was fantastic on Saturday, I had so much fun singing for the team.

My mother worked for an organisation that helped disabled peoples who did not financially have the means to support themselves. So what the RBB did and I hope will continue to do (as Ian said they will) means so much to that team and their families, I have said it so many times on this forum but you keep outdoing yourself BRAVO RBB BRAVO

[Guest ZipGunBop]

Just out of interest, what's the game like? How's it played? Never seen one. I've heard they hook in tho.

Whilst they aren't officially a part of WSWFC the powerchair team are a bunch of guys who sit in the RBB at the back of bay 54.

 

I kind of don't care that they aren't a part of the club because there isn't a national powerchair league in the same way there is an A-League or W-league, its just a bunch of guys who play at a Basketball court in Mount Druitt who are mad keen Wanderers fans and have a WSW powerchair team.
