Beat me to it Paul! 

How long since anyone posted "It's  game day!" with a such a sense of enthusiasm?  

Wish I was going....

to be honest i would prefer my first experience at new parramatta stadium to be a wanderers experience not a eurosnob circus

This is from a week or so ago...when most of us felt the same way.

I know we (WS Forumites) aren't representative of the wider community, or maybe even of the wider football community, or the wider WSW community, so I might be delusional in saying this.

But I sense that our atmosphere has a good chance of returning for this game...in which case,  hopefully, a few eurosnobs get to see  how good an A League experience CAN be , especially if the WANDERERS are involved.

The pictures of the safe standing and the talk of Leeds putting on some noise, plus the fact it feels like YEARS since we played, changed my mind.

Was gonna get RBB but then got a freebie. Woot

Above the RBB so might get a taste of what the future holds when I'm old(er).

Think there will be quite a few freebies today.

Looking forward to this!

Yes RBB at the Crown.

Will look out for you at the Albion!  

There's a spring in my step this morning.

 It has been a long journey from the last game at parra, when castelen and vidosic brought the house down. It was an unforgettable night, and back then it seemed impossible that three mostly depressing and forgettable years were to follow. 

May the return to parra flush any memories of the abysmal SOP years down the toilet. No more BS. No more sub standard crap. No more mediocrity. No more half hearted performances. And it has to start tonight. 

In the interests of getting all the cliches out of the way. 

Our season starts here

Anyone know a reliable half-half scarf supplier?

Also seen on Bankwest blurb, all rail & bus travel to and from the game cost is covered in the price, just show your ticket !

Does this morning get better and better, pumped!

What!? You haven't already got your half-half shirt, scarf, and beanie?

Often read this forum but don’t often post. Can’t help myself today however. Really excited about going back to Parramatta. Let’s hope it’s the first of many many great games for WSW. I’ll be  more interested in the game experience than the result. Poznań is always a good gauge

Wanderers released a half half shirt, half season 3 half season 6

Out and about in Red and Blacktown this morning and it’s great to see a few WSW shirts and caps again. Already starting to feel like the good old days

"Apparently" according to my mate down the pub, there were Man U & Leeds half scarves being sold by a seller at Perth, you might be lucky and see this same seller today :-)

I think you put the apostrophes in the wrong spot. I have changed it for you.

I wondered about that.

Hope not!

Our Parra cops...or the riot squad ...who may well be on deck, would not make any nonsense worth contemplating.

Way to ruin a great night...and hopefully a great holiday.

PS Where's Yosser..our Leeds poster from a few weeks back?

Now I’m picturing the fat chief wigam (of after Perth game fame) cop with his little bottle of pepper spray trying to hold off an actual football riot
