Don't boycott home matches - it'll be better if it's walkout after walkout after walkout. They're fantastic visual symbols. Like flares.

 

Symbolic of a wider issue.

Oh and this

I think we should March to the stadium, then instead of walking in we march around and go to the park and have a bbq and a game of football. I'll bring an esky

Club already has my money so whether I go or not is immaterial to them. However, hopefully with huge holes in the bays not just in the northern RBB end but also in the other stands, a very quiet Wanderland and players who we know do support us still willing to get out and represent us with pride...well that to me is good enough when it comes to sending a message.

 

And TBH if I didn't boycott I couldn't look squarely into the face of all my mates I've made through this amazing club. This goes beyond being passionate for the guys in red & black on the pitch...this is about being at the back of our brothers and sisters, and dare I say holding true to our own values.

 

If you go, I understand. Enjoy the match but don't let any of the haters slander you or the suits use you.

This is the saddest day of my Football life. The FFA has given us an ultimatum, choose between my club I bleed Red and Black for or the game I hold in higher stead than any other part of my life.

 

I am not in the RBB but as Manny said, I'm sure the players will understand and I will back the RBB in their stance. yes banana my friend even you...  :grouphug:

 

There will be 8 Foundation Members that I know of, (6East, 2 West) after discussions this afternoon, who won't be attending. Including my brother who flies down from Brisbane for this fixture each year as I do for the return match/s.

 

All I ask is for no division in our ranks, it is an individuals choice to take the stance they believe in.

How many can we fit in the collector? If all goes well, we may need another pub for the boycott

You can add another 4 foundation members (west)/to that.

now the battle has begun. An empty RBB will start to put down the foot

 

Hope a few members in the east/west stands can join in the boycott, encouraging to hear that many members have already decided to stand up to the FFA :good:

 

I hate the idea of not being at a home game but how else will they listen & take notice? One week of walkouts had zero effect on DdB & DG, let's hope they take some action after this weekend.

I'm tossing up whether to go to the game. The collectors might get really packed. I'm in the stands.

 

And If I go I won't be in my Wanderers gear. I can't see myself in Wanderers gear for the rest of the season actually...

 

I won't be buying anything at the stadium either nor will I engage in any chants that people may come up with. It will be purely for the spectacle only.

 

If it rains, or there's a chance of rain then I'm out.

 

See the problem is there's some lovely dining options in Parramatta that I've made a habit out of unfortunately... There's still a dining appetite to be satisfied LOL

Been hoping against hope that FFA would do the right thing by us, the game's most important stakeholder, but today's shambolic presser by Gallop is the final nail in the coffin.

 

This east stand member is out, will not be attending the game this week even though it's killing me inside to go!

It's all so depressing. The FFA response was pathetic it really wouldn't have taken much for them to show some willing to reach a compromise or at least start a dialogue.

 

My fear is the longer it goes on the harder it becomes for either side to be seen to give.

 

Hope there is an info campaign from RBB generally if the situation is explained most football Supporters will support or at least see the reason behind it all.

 

For CCM game I was sitting over in their family bit with a friend and his kids. Family behind us all decked in yellow was wondering why their band had stopped. I explained reason to them, and they totally got it, but prior to that they had no idea what or why it was happening.

 

I wish it wasn't happening as in part id rather be posting about Andreu and his sexy turn against the Mariners than this.

 

Shame as the next two games are going to be big. Hope something is resolved or a different tack is taken for the victory game

Simon Hill for new A League boss...

 

That first guy just sums up the problem here. "Some of those western sydney wanderers fan scare the beejesus out of me...That guy in the video, he looks pretty scary, slitting his throat" .

 

You mean Hektor? hahahaha. First stage of the recruitment process for the new CEO -  play the Hektor video. If they gets its a joke, move on to the next stage. If they think that this is the type of person who gives football a bad name - sorry you do not get the job.

 

 

Still a massive issue for us, and a considerable problem with all things media related - people talking about things they have no idea about. 

 

Hill was great. "Have you met them?"

It's tough but necessary. What else can be done? I love going to Wanderland, I look forward to it all week, but if we did nothing after what Gallop said today? It would send the worst kind of message to the FFA.

 

We would all love a governing body who acted in the interests of football fans, then none of this would be necessary. Sadly, we have these clowns instead. The more I think about it, the more I think football in this country will go nowhere wuth these guys running the show. I also genuinely thought last week would bring them scurring to the negotiating table. How wtong I was. Previously, I thought the rise of football was almost inevitable. It is a sad day in that context.

So where are we meeting up ?

 

Forum meet up everyone !!!

 

 

Y'know we don't have a lot in Western Sydney, a lot of us grew up without much at all - but we do have each other.

 

To me that's more important at the moment, I'm doing it for the guys and girls who didn't get a say in being banned - in the knowledge they'd do the same for me.

 

Because these colours do unite us all.

Southern Terrace member, count me out of the game. Even though we want to be there the FFA has left the fans no other options.
