Kresinger had an entertaining long running battle with Fred, to me seems like a striker that will use size & strength rather than speed and agility (although he does have a bit of toe for a big man).



Mooy had a mixture of absolute class and horrible touches. Every time he did something amazing he would follow it up with a horrible touch or pass that would be miles off target. He took a couple of free kicks from just outside the box, one dipped over the wall and smacked the underside of the crossbar, the other sent Redmayne diving to the right before swinging the opposite direction and just missing the post. Also at one stage beat 3 defenders with some silky skills.

Good to see the fixture done sensibly so that you guys play all NSW teams & Melbourne Victory twice at home.
Would have been even better if you had two home games against Brisbane, but at the end of the day the 4 teams above would be the biggest crowd pullers for you guys.

^^^^ alessandro del someone I heard...

Yeah, played for some provincial club in Turin or something.

The starting line-up for tonight against Parramatta: Tyson, Polenz, D'apuzzo, La Rocca, Beauchamp, Hersi, Green, Meredith, Appiah-Kubi, Poljak, Kresinger

So Iacopo La Rocca is the Italian trialist. Not a bad player, plying his trade in the swiss league for the past few years.

any up dates on the match so far?

1-0 win. Kresinger with the goal in the 2nd half.

1063 crowd.

No real surprise with a 7pm KO on a Sunday night.

Couldnt they have scheduled a better time? Sunday 7pm kickoff wasnt the greatest time

I'd say the idea behind that was to not have it on at the same time as the Olympic v Marconi in the NSWPL which started at 4pm.

They didn't want many people. It was a trial run for the club at the stadium. They used the proper ticketek ticketing system even.

Edit - I've also heard word that the club may have negotiated with Newcastle to allow Wanderers members to go to next Saturday's match in Newcastle.

Does anyone know what the official membership numbers sit at the moment?

Over 2,000 but probably not more than 2,500.

I know Wanderers are going to rename the stands for the HAL season (and seasons to come), and removal of NRL logos (if possible) is fair enough... but is it true that we're going to cover up or mask Steve Price's statue? Seems quite disrespectful to me.

That was some overblown BS by the anti-football brigade to sell papers.

Steve Price will not be covered by anything.

Good to hear.

You mean Ray Price ;)

Yes... :lol:

Any indication as to whether the logos will be embroidered, heat pressed, sublimated?

No idea, but for $100 will definitely be getting myself a kit. Was going to get a scarf, but will hold off on that till I see what these foundation member scarves they're talking about are like.

Yeh, will probably go for the foundation scarf, hopefully a touch cheaper.

1063 crowd figure LOL...They didn't want many people? That's a classic..Now i've heard everything!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why are WSW pre-season figures being so heavily scrutinised? Rarely hear a peep about them when it concerns other clubs. Let's wait and see what they get against CCM.

No one complained when we got 3.5k average in the last 4 games. We have a higher attendance average than Gold Coast ffs, and its only preseason, and people still complain.

Latest Jets media release specifically states that Saturdays game will be open to BOTH Jets and WSW members.
Good move imo
