Hughesy Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Big bash tickets are half the price. I'm paying $40+ (for what is the worst view in the house) in the away bay when that would get me a platinum grade seat next door. This should not be happening. lloydy136, Neverbloom, pushiepedlar and 5 others 8 Link to comment

MartinTyler Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 He's got no material to run with. They are going great guns, at their #1 home and we're struggling. We're just a big banana skin for them this time so basically the pressure's more on them. btron3000, WestSyd, xxBrandonxx and 2 others 5 Link to comment

By jacking up the price by $10 even if they get 5000 less people they still earn approx $5,000 more. They know we will still go and if we don't the plastics will fill up the rest.

WestSyd Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 SFC seem to get all jazzed up and ready for the derby when a lot WSW supporters turn up and make a lot of noise. It seems to inspire them. Almost like a challenge they relish. Maybe with less of us turning up it will work in our favour as they won't feel as motivated. That's what I'm hoping anyway. Otherwise prepare on Saturday night for WSW players to look like 'deer in the headlights', and WSW coach to look 'spooked' on the sidelines. Smoggy 1 Link to comment
Zelinsky Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 If the team isn't on fire after the Rd 1 funfest and ready, prepared and willing to stick it to the Smurfs (being "capable" is another issue) then there is something seriously wrong at the club. xxBrandonxx, Smoggy, Wobblies and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Erebus Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Has a 2012 away derby kind of vibe. Except we don't have a winger that can score or a captain that bleeds the west to get us on the scoresheet. But a smaller WSW fan contingent might be a good thing.

I know financially you are doing it pretty tough right now so it is understandable but to not attend is very synomous with the Sydney sport culture which seems to be crowds show up when a team is winning. I am not having a go at you personally goat but just trying to explain what we mean. The words in our chant "Win or lose we will always follow you, let it rain let it pour we will sing for evermore" speak to something that many of us feel about the Wanderers. Turning up when we are doing it tough, when it seems there is little hope & making those miserable trips home are poor performances is what will make our future successes so much more meaningful. We have been very lucky at WSW that we have never had those tough times where failure for us has been finishing second twice in the league & losing 3 grand finals. I think you'll find that once Popa moves on, the coaching stocks in Australia are inexperienced at a top level. Be prepared for many tough years if we are stuck with A-League merry-go-round of coaches of the quality like Okon, Moss, Lowe etc unless a quality coach/manager can be unearthed from many of rough stones floating around NPL level right now. Erebus, If you think that ticket prices will be changing anytime soon, be prepared for many years of not attending matches. There is a reason why stadium construction prices are so high in Australia & is the same reason we live in one of the most expensive cities to live in the world. Unless there is a mass boycott by all Wanderers fans, then there is little chance that a small minority not attending will make an impact. FYI, CCM use the family ticket in the future. Pretty sure it was around $50 last year and admitted 4. Was it the same in our December game?

Hilliangull Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 The football gods have played it very nicely with this fixture. All the pressure is on the unbeaten smurfs.

I believe this may be the reason the Easts removed the famil ticket option Part of the reason I want to be there also is because it is the main part of being here in Australia where I feel I belong, when I am among the WSW faithful side by side with people who share my passion and outlook, something that I get nowhere else in my life. I have issues verbally being able to talk to people(from here and at the pre games / during) due to issues I have but being there is enough and gives me what I need. Even if this goes bad next Saturday (as it most likely will) I will be suffering along with a good few thousand other WSW supporters and that links me back in to the feeling I get supporting the Boro and how that feels and fills that gap for me. Therefore what I get out of attending compared to sitting at home shouting at the TV is priceless. Edited January 10, 2017 by WSWBoro SBW, pseudonym, tardotz and 8 others 11 Link to comment
