Apparently Roar v Glory PAX is 14,586 which is similar to the victory game the day before so it might crack 15k

WESTERN SYDNEY WANDERERS VS CENTRAL COAST MARINERS - 12168

(insert wsw/rbb excuses here)

SFC literally had this same game two weeks ago and cope abuse for the poor crowd.

Fyi this is not a bad crowd. But dont through stones when you live in a glass house boys.

Only difference was that Sydney's game was a 5:30pm kick-off on a beautiful, hot, sunny day when people could have still been laying on the beach.
Oh, and the other difference being we still had an extra 3,000 in attendance.

Lets wait till wanderers have a game on Saturday night/day or even Sunday day before we throw out lines like Sydney is neck and neck with Wanderers lmfao.



How about now?

And you are right, lmfao at being neck and neck. Always in our shadow. Most of your "members" only turn up to see us play.

Doesn't really matter why. We got the extra fans. Fans that were not memebers. Unlike WSW who can't get their own memebrs to go to games.

13,000 for the Wanderers is pathetic. Is the stadium far from Pirtek? Doesn't seem so from looking at google maps

It's relatively easy to get to. It's just that it is the worst stadium to watch football in that has ever been used in the A-League.

Impressive to see all games above 10k in attendance thus far, although the Melbourne game and the Sydney game would have to be considered somewhat disappointing.

These are the things that figures don't show.

We can already see that WSW are not gonna have the expected 18k plus crowds at every home game, and you can see why.
The pitch looks in great nick, but the atmosphere is diluted, because the fans are sitting 100m away from the pitch. It's just too far!
This is why oval grounds don't work for our game...

Don't get me wrong, I agree watching football in an oval is pretty shit. Surely Campbelltown or Penrith would have been better interim options. If I was a neutral I would prefer to watch it on TV too. But when it is your team, you suck it up and get along and support them.

10k was the benchmark set 12 years ago for an unproven sport consisting largely of state league players

When you are talking consolidated support, and every team except for two having a distinct region to work with, 10k is the new 6k-7k. Its the absolute minimum teams should be getting and we should be aiming for 15k as the norm (stadium limitations excluded)

Try getting to this ground from Campbelltown or Penrith, easy 1hour30 trip maybe more. But as a wanderers fan these first 2 crowds at spotless have been underwhelming.

Fyi this is not a bad crowd. But dont through stones when you live in a glass house boys.

That figure for wsw is absolutely disgraceful!! no excuses whatsoever its a fucking saturday night.

Wsw are just a bunch of pretenders. whats going on here wsw "fans" that pet membership tally must be really bloody high. Please save ur pathetic excuses. the number of times weve had to listen to the crap come out about sydney fc getting shit crowds at 15k in a big stadium. seems like wsw cant even manage 50% capacity in a 24k cap. in fact gws seem to almost get bugger crowds. Thats just laughable.

"Who do we sing for?" Yeah seriously who do u sing for? 

Sounds like its time for your tight arse owner pull out the cheque book because clearly u need a marquee to lift those shameful crowds

But strangely all their members were happy to give the thumbs up. plenty of other rectangle stadiums around. the ironic thing is that one of the laughable arguments was that the other stadiums wouldnt be able to hold all their fans lol. Seems like they would have had no issues at all.

So before the fans have had a chance to experience this shit atmosphere (despite voting for the stadium to be their new home ground) as they havent even attended, they have already made up their minds? Just more excuses from the deluded club that likes to claim they are the biggest club in sydney.
