We've had this debate a million times before when they're talking about moving a match or picking a stadium. As soon as they put it in one of the fringes of western Sydney the people who live on the opposite side are upset because it takes them ages to go watch their local team while the people who live close tell them to harden up because they're happy it suits them. If the club had picked Penrith we'd be having the exact same argument except everyone's roles would be reversed.

Uber

Scooter (free parking)

Bicycle

Walk

Spoon of concrete

 

Pick one.

I get what you guys are saying but the issue is that WSW pay plenty of money to make trains available for fans to get to SOP on game day.

 

Spend all this money & for what? It seems like a complete waste!

Popa interview on The A-League Show podcast.

Unfortunately, tom smithies on as well but Macquarie Radio part owned by The Parrot (aka Alan Jones)

Will listen latter tonight

Quite a good listen

 

Popa doesn't think our early season lack of results is going to affect our chances for the year moving forward

 

Also very interesting popa spoke of the turnover of players

Alluded to the fact some of the players leaving they didn't want to lose

Specifically NTS, Bridge and Jamo mentioned.

 

He starts chatting around 28 mins here's a link for it iPhone users

Heaps seem to use the train from what I can tell. I catch it.

I thought it's pretty convenient, being one stop off the most busy line.

I think the main issue is that they just need to schedule a few closer connecting trains at Lidcombe. There were plenty of services to Lidcombe but it was those that then had to sort out transport home from there was the main issue/bug bear for most.

 

I understand it isn't Parramatta but a few better connections makes a big difference if you are heading to the Blue Mountains, Campbeltown, Richmond etc

Definitely didn't want to lose Jamo. Bridge too you'd think because of his leadership abilities and experience. There were rumours NTS was on the outer at the end of last season.

Gallop currently on 2GB talking about expansion.

Anything relevant or just the usual crap?

 

 

Usual crap sadly. Just FFA speak.

He was only on for about 3 minutes and it was just full of the usual **** clichés. I did however get the impression that Tassie won't even get a look in.

 

There were excellent interviews though with Cockerill, the head of the Tassie bid, the boss of the Wollongong Wolves, good discussion about the Geelong bid, and as usual, Andy Harper was excellent.

If you're into the expansion debate, it might be worth listening to the podcast.

Worth keeping an eye on Josh Thomas. Huge WSW fan who is writing for TFS this year with some decent insights. Here's his latest:

The future of the Wanderers frontline
 
Averaging just over one goal a game so far this season, Western Sydney Wanderers strike force is yet to truly fire.
 
Starting striker Kerem Bulut hasn’t scored in the A-League since his return to the club meaning the side is relying heavily on super-sub Brendon Santalab.
 
At 34 years of age the affectionately known Santa has already bagged four goals this season but showed against Brisbane he isn’t infallible, missing from point blank range.
 
With Santalab ageing and Bulut yet to score, the Wanderers frontline may currently be a frustration but the future of the red and black in front of goals is looking very bright.
 
Over the weekend 19-year-old strikers Lachlan Scott and Abraham Majok both got themselves on the scoresheet in the National Youth League for Western Sydney, helping to ensure a comprehensive 3-0 win against Sydney FC.
 
Having already featured for the senior side, Scott is close to forcing his way into the team permanently having scored 15 goals in 13 youth team appearances last season.
 
Scoring with his first touch off the bench over the weekend, as first team coach Tony Popovic watched from the stands, one would think Scott is primed to fire for the Wanderers if Bulut continues to draw blanks.
 
Majok on the other hand won’t be joining the senior side this season, but after just three appearances and three goals for Western Sydney’s youth side looks set to add some punch to the Wanderers front line in seasons to come.
 
Tall, strong, confident, with an eye for goal and surprising pace, Majok has all the right attributes to be a star striker of the future.
 
As it stands, the A-League side are reportedly closing in on securing the services of veteran Irish striker Robbie Keane.
 
A man who by no means has forgotten how to score, 36-year-old Keane could be an ideal short term solution to the Wanderers worries in front of goal.
 
Over the past five years in Major League Soccer for LA Galaxy he has netted an impressive 104 goals across 165 appearances adding to the 68 strikes he has for the Republic of Ireland.
 
Tim Cahill himself said the Wanderers need a big name and Keane gives them not only that but surely a more reliable outlet in front of goal too.
 
His presence at the club could also be just the ammunition Western Sydney’s young guns need to ensure in years to come they are all the side needs in front of goals.
