If it comes down to Wanderers and Athletic, going by that survey they are the top two, my money is on Wanderers. Flows better with the whole West Sydney prefix.

Posted this link in another thread too. Draws out the history of the beginning of association rules being accepted in nsw and the origins of "Wanderers".

Great read.

132 Years later I'd settle for the same result Wanderers 2 - Bling FC 0 (duckegg, narda, zilch, nothin)

Updated at 12.15pm today.

The poll result has been very consistent each day.

Great read.

That's a great article Matty.

Isnt it, awesome. Love how the first bloke rubbishes afl lol...

Taurus, I've looked back in the thread and have concluded I'm partially blind and stupid, wheres the link to that poll you keep referring to?

I'm surprised how strong the name Athletic is in that poll. I thought Wanderers wouldve shat all over it, but it seems theres a pretty consistent vote for it. Granted its probably the same people each day. I only voted in the poll once. It's pretty clear pride isn't gonna get there.

159 votes for pride, really shows that there are 159 people out there who really need some help.

I've thought along that in a straight shoot-out these two would be very very close, to the point where I would have expected the FFA to call the team "Athletic" but have an unofficial nickname of "Wanderers".

I hate Athletic, means nothing whatsoever.

This ^^^^ Talk about anemic!

TWG don't intend to close their poll until 15th May, 2032 so they believe we may have to twiddle our thumbs for a while, awaiting the announcement of a name for our WSF Club.

High Noon Monday is my tip.

I hate Athletic, means nothing whatsoever.

Yes it does. Many of us went to Little Athletics as kids.

This is why I don't like it as well.

As far as I can make out - and haven't researched it too heavily so could be wrong - existing clubs called athelitc have been called so because they either played at an athletics track or were not solely a football club but intented to or indeed did play other sports too, like a lot of the "sporting" clubs.

Means nothing in this case.

I went to Little Athletics as well ... what does little athletics have to do with an A-League football team? Diddley .,..
