No tickets released until close to the event regardless of ticket option picked.

Why though?

The only thing I can think of is to stop scalpers selling dodgy tickets online.

They do the same for the derby in the city.

This is how you tell who is actually a "since day one" WSW fan and someone who claims they are.

This and when you mention the name Dino and they don't show true reverence..

Speaking of Dino..the smoke was black last night so he hasn't been elected yet.

I'm a very passive Wanderers fan, only attend when I feel like it, but even I'll be there Saturday with my two grown up children.

Let's hope the performance matches the support. It does feel like something's building for the future finally.

[Potkorok]

Something in the air - even a positive article in the SMH by Rugari......

[Erebus]

Hassett doesn't write anymore. Or that other guy who's name escapes me that always put in some bs speculation about  wsw players in Derby week to create locker room turmoil.

 

Edit; Bossi.

That guy man...only time he wrote about wsw was to stir 5h17

Bays 225 and 224 above the RBB are looking solid too, and bays either side of those over half full already, so above the RBB will look good.

Is that good or bad? They are all pretty **** really. We just need to score lots of goals and not concede any. More thoughtful insight to come as I think of it ...

Get one of the players to "accidently" run into him and knock him out cold.

[William]

We have to play 11 victory players plus Kersey an absolute cheat of a Referee

If you look at all the seasons since Popa left and exclude the Rudan season where we made the finals (i.e. all the seasons when we were crap), we played 159 league games averaging 1.19 points per game.

Under Kersey we average 0.58 points per game, so less than half of what we got when we couldn't make finals.

I think having him commit football terrorism on the City game actually helps us. Everyone had a yell, picked up a few yellows after the game, but that was it. Milanovic and Staj both gave sensible interviews after the game and didn't blame the referee. No stigma speech or victim complex.

Now we can go into this game knowing we aren't going to get a single decision our way and we have to win in spite of that.

Tbh cannot believe he's got the game

Unless the FFA or whatever has told him, "Ok last chance" because that performance against City was shocking

In addition to my usual seats I purchased "GA" tickets behind the RBB for friends. I noticed on the tickets even though it is Stated as GA there are  actually specifically allocated seat numbers. I rang the club and spoke to somebody, the Response was that" no GA is GA and there should not be any specifically allocated seats. Irrespective of the fact that this is a finals game it should be first in best dressed "Should be interesting to how this turns out on the day.. perhaps a Ticketek cock up ?

Gotta look for the positives. Our 2025 record is a massive improvement on previous years. The two Victory loses were against WUN and SYD. Cant believe Kersey is ranked 2nd best ref in the league. What a sad state of affairs.

Oh man… it will be lots of..”hey you’re in my seats mate”  I am in the GA behind RBB also and tbh I just booked the seats where I always sit anyway and usually there early enough….
