Good pickup HJ. They are evil.

Looking after the fans at their home ground is their first priority.

Western Sydney Wanderers have confirmed they will host the inaugural cross-town A-League derby against Sydney FC at Parramatta Stadium.
There were suggestions the highly anticipated round three clash on October 20 could be transferred to ANZ Stadium to accommodate a bigger crowd.
But Wanderers executive chairman Lyall Gorman said the match would not be moved away from their regular home ground.
"We listened to the football community of western Sydney and they voted overwhelmingly in favour of Parramatta Stadium as the Wanderers home ground," said Gorman.
"That's our home and that's where we will stay. Parramatta is an excellent football venue and our foundation members will build a fantastic atmosphere for the A-League matches.​

Probably not before a certain A. Del Piero signed for Sydney, but that game is now pretty much a guaranteed sell out.

Bart I think Mark McGaw should be number 4 do Justin Poore doesn't have to play out of position.

Forgot about him so maybe
Crowd control should be interesting in that case

I never liked Andrew Frew. A friend of my sister knew him and he came round to my house one night when i was 16 or so. Was a total utter wanker showing off what a big guy he was by putting sh1t on me in front of his mates and the girls. He thought he was awesome because he was playing reserve grade for parra. I loved it when he went to manly so i could kill 2 birds with 1 stone by booing him
