dmixtaaa Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 time to sticker bomb their stadium at our next trial match It's going to be very embarrassing for The Riff on September 22 for game V Adelaide Utd. I can see a bigger crowd there for a WSW trial than an actual NRL fixture this year.
Jukes01 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) You have to wonder which muppet at Penrith Panthers thought this might be a chance of happening. Did they seriously think it was going to happen. If the Panthers had bought the club I simply would have tore up my membership. At least the Panthers and Phil Gould know one thing, they should be worried, really worried. Edited August 21, 2013 by Jukes01 waggafletcher 1

Jukes01 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) The amusing part is they actually thought they might be a chance. It would be like Collingwood coming in to buy the Panthers. They would never allow it. What a laugh. Edited August 21, 2013 by Jukes01

Montalbano Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 This Wilson guy from the Panthers Group sounds like a goose. Probably has had his head in too many scrums. No respect whatsoever for our club and what it represents. GunnerWanderer and waggafletcher 2
PAL81 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Take it as a compliment boys. Just goes to show that they are scared. They can see the potential in the club becoming bigger than they could ever dream of becoming. So how do they mitigate the risk? Buy the club and run it to the ground > que the jets/knights debacle.

But even a few cheeky banners/flags would be amusing. Bet we would come with quite a few good catchy lines.

Wow, he sounds like some crybaby bloke who just got rejected by a girl he liked. OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE TURNED ME DOWN, SHE'S SO SILLY geez What a pan licker. Notice Gallop didnt beat around the bush. Showing a rival code your financials aside, notice he said he wants usage of the ground up from 12 to 24 games a year. Stadium upgrade justification. One of the main criticisms of the Penrith upgrades is the ground isnt been used enough. Even if say they didnt have a realistic chance of buying the club, IF they were allowed to enter the bidding process it: 1) looks good for them that the Wanderers are considering using Penrith 2) damages the Wanderers chance of further upgrades to Parra as it shows they are willing to jump ship thereby inadvertedly torpedoing our own bid. Carlton AFL, Parra Power - they didnt end well. NRL using football for their own gain like they used Olympic for Belmore upgrade. These idiots thought we came down in the last shower. Cant wait till Penrith game - we will own that place. Edited August 21, 2013 by westofcentre Wanderer74 and Tranquilo 2

If they are so keen on Football now, go and bid for an HAL licence and create a Sporting Panthers FC or the like. Kizza 1

Davo Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 The FFA should have put in a counter offer and tried to buy the Panthers. Then when they say no the FFA can say "now do you see how stupid you looked?" Balkanite, daoud, Kizza and 2 others 5

Jukes01 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) I wouldnt read too much into it. There is a definite agenda here and its got nothing to do with running a football club. Phil Gould and the Panthers know that if they want to get any sort of funding for a stadium they need bums on seats and some justification for money to be handed out. If we are based out at Parramatta with the Eels then guess who gets money for funding, the Eels and the Wanderers. Penrith misses out. Its a small price to pay 15m-20m if you want to build a new stadium for your Rugby League club. Edited August 21, 2013 by Jukes01 Tranquilo, dmixtaaa and westofcentre 3

hawks2767 Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Really I can think of only one name as an owner of the Wanderers - the Bosnjak family. I definitely remember reading articles about them having over $100 million to their name/s but still being staunchly proud Western Sydney Residents. In fact a quick name google shows they are involved in business development in Western Sydney still.

They are proud Westies indeed, but my feeling is that they have always felt closer to Sydney United than anyone else. Let the games begin. :ninja:
Ian Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 I think its a good idea, WSW could follow the successful path of NSL powerhouses like Carlton or Collingwood Soccer Clubs.
Benched Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Ian, you're forgetting that massive crowd puller...Parramatta Power.
