I can’t wait to start doing that,” said Risdon," The fans of Western Sydney didn't want that as well? You may as well do that in Melbourne, because you didn't in Sydney.

GunnerWanderer Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Sometimes it doesn’t work out for you somewhere in the case of Risdon that’s happened I don’t think anyone needs to be bitter against him I don’t think he can be acused of not trying well I wouldn’t think so Erdz 1 Link to comment

marron Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Wasn't it Westside Pride? Did i see that? This thing is going to be worse than Heart. Link to comment
Erebus Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 well most of their fans will be Heart fans probably since City has pissed off whatever fans they had. marron 1 Link to comment

Zakman Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 "...it’s understood the club will wear green and black stripes" Wonder if these will be vertical or horizontal because if its the latter, then it deserves a "Hang on a moment" from WSW. "Western" in name, one of the colours black, English Football influenced name "United" - talk about following our template. All we now need is for Rudan (Croat from Western Sydney) to be appointed their head coach as rumoured. Edinburgh and Prydzopolis 1 1 Link to comment
Nek Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Don't understand what they are West of? The 'Western' needs to be anchored off something or somewhere, otherwise I'm thinking of John Wayne movies rather that football. Prydzopolis and Sithslayer1991 2 Link to comment

matty Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 What a crap name. What is it with Melbourne clubs coming up with the worst names? Melbourne Heart? Western United? Even Melbourne Victory was awkward and laughed at originally. Just now we're used to it and it helps that they're successful. Unlimited, Nek, mack and 1 other 4 Link to comment
