On the WSW forum they're speculating that it's because of some music festival as they said that they're starting to build an outdoor stage today, the game was scheduled for tomorrow. So, pitch in poor condition is a convenient excuse for a scheduling stuff up and would have been more plausible if the A-League hadn't played on horrendous pitches in the past.
Surely there are other suitable pitches around Sydney?
I hope the team hadn't made the trip over there. I know some supporters have tickets booked which obviously won't be refunded.

We need a photo of the pitch.

“The setup will begin this Sunday with over 100 crew,” adds Technical Producer Arian Yeganeh. “It will take us one week with perfect weather to build.”
There's also a statement on the Sensation Australia Facebook page:
ATT: Western Sydney Wanderers Fans.
Contrary to a few articles yesterday, the bump in of Sensation Australia starts this Sunday 19th November not today. Our production teams will not have access to Spotless Stadium until then.
The decision to postpone the football match between The Western Sydney Wanders and Wellington Phoenix tomorrow is solely due to concerns about the conditions of parts of the playing surface in Spotless Stadium not at all related to the setup of Sensation.
For more information visit: https://www.wswanderersfc.com.au/news/spotless-stadium-official-statement-wanderers-match-postponed
So there you go. Statements from the club, venue and the festival all stating that the postponement was unrelated to the festival.

+xTo be fair, most of the RBB will probably be at the music festival anyway It does pose a question though: Is the purpose of the A League for the game to be played or be watched? This should be a serious competitive league. It is important games are played as they are fixtured. Trying to change the game time just so more people can attend goes against the spirit of a competitive league But since the A League is already anti competitive and the fixturing is already rigged, in this case it is moot

Except for the fact you wasted your time typing that because the festival is next week and we have an away game. Unless your stipulating that RBB members are part of the stage crew and would love the to start work on the saturday and earn some over time?

Apparently the music festival takes 7 days to bump in in good weather, but the next 5 days weather forecast is bad. So they were really pushing it on their original schedule.
Probably a bit of column A and a bit of Column B I think.

From the WSW forum:
Okay people. We may need to back off a little. I will be retracting part of my statements above.
I work in SOP and have just driven over to Spotless after I finished work today.
Everything was locked up so I couldn’t get close enough to get any decent photos but after I climbed up on a fence, I was able to see most of the pitch. There are huge brown patches all over it. It’s especially bad at the far end of the pitch and right in front of the RBB.
It wouldn’t be playable at all.
There is also no sign of any construction whatsoever. Nothing in the stadium at all. No trucks or anything around. Although I was pretty sure SOP wasn’t that stupid to allow an early bump-in now after they came out with that statement.
Maybe there’s no conspiracy but someone definitely ****ed up and the fact that the pitch isn’t ready is just not good enough. There should have been contingencies in place. Also, I’m sure we can all imagine what it is going to look like after a huge festival. I’ll be surprised if we can play on Dec. 2.

Can the Wanderers even be bothered playing this game? Still hasn't been rescheduled. Dicking with the fixture by being fast and loose with the reschedule would be called out as cheating in a legit league.
Maybe they're waiting out the season to see which teams they're competing with for a finals berth, with an eye to avoiding handing them a depleted phoenix and 3 easy points.

@ Bohemia
The ffa will be trying to reschedule this and it won’t be that easy - the biggest issue will be Nixs travel so they’ll be looking for an available date when Nix are playing in NSWs, then they need the stadium available, then it has to fit with whatever games Nix have before/after the rescheduled date.
Rescheduled A league games are always difficult because the travelling side often objects, I remember the year the Roar/Victory game was rained off and Victory refused every alternative date suggested so we ended up playing them st home on the weekend (Saturday I think) then having the rescheduled home game against them four days later. Victory were happy as it fitted their travel, fans not so ..

@ paladiscious
Most Brisbane fans were just relieved the FFA didn’t make us replay the match at AAMI Park such was the FFAs love for Victory back then ... recon they fell out of love with you when you all laughed at Frank falling off the stage 😉
