No RBB due to restrictions by NSW Government and Bankwest Stadium.

Disappointing but not unexpected. So RBB section empty then ? Or just socially distanced seated and clap clap ? What about the rest of the stadium then how's that gonna work ? Bulls support limited too I assume ?  50 % capacity  for stadium.

Just happy to be going but just won't be the same..plus would have been great to show the bull$hitters what real support is...

Since thats the case I think all 12 in the Bullpen shouldn't be able to ring those stupid f***ing cowbells if Macarthur score lol.

We will show them at their own cowpaddock later in the season. Also that will bring the Bulls attendance from 12 people to 6.

Oooops again

So where do RBB members sit stand then?

Good question.

Let's hope that the rest of us take up the slack for noise and singing.

To answer your question, considering the end of last season, they won't change the safe standing area and will just opt for seats in that area until restrictions ease and the RBB can be at full voice again.

Getting Kogarah derby vibes once the RBB got kicked out. They can't stop the whole stadium singing and chanting right?

Does anyone know how many members Macarthur have signed up? Do they have a official active support group? Very little if any information about them in the media regarding fans. Just curious 

Is it really game day?

In +5 instead of the normal +2

Depends on the members who turn up.

My sister-in-law's husband booked 3 tickets in Section 214 a few days ago. There was only a smattering of tickets in the western stand (especially for 3 seats together) but there were plenty in the family zone at the Southern end

I'm feeling lucky 

Two Jacks in, tour flag may well be in to make Robbo welcome

Dear Team and Management,

Hope you had a great off season.

Can we consider starting this season with some early wins and momentum so that we don't need to chase our tails, play catchup; or sweat on the results from other games to make the finals!
It's difficult to log onto the WSF forum season after season to read statements like "It's only early...", "There's plenty of time....", "All we need is to go on a run....", "We've still got a chance....", etc. from members and followers.

Look, I know that winning is not everything, but perhaps (just perhaps) taking a new approach going into this season may actually encourage people to show up for games, reinvigorate a languishing active supporter base, and
even generate some supporter investment. I think we all know by now that a successful WSW season translates into a successful season for the entire league.

Let me know your thoughts.

Regards,

ZachMercer

You should tweet this to the Club Twitter

Unfortunately Me and my old man are out for tonight's game.

I’m assuming we need to sit in our designated sections? Perhaps not the exact seat due to social distancing?

Guess I can’t just stand at the concourse and watch there anymore...

I'm still on hols (pouring rain) so we're  out. Will watch on Fox. 

Looking forward to a positive start
