Their team is literally called WESTERN SYDNEY. And their fans are literally SCUM.
NOT THAT HARD TO FIGURE OUT WHY WE SING IT YOU STUPID WESTERN SYDNEY SCUM.

What is he up to these days?
Ditched the missus 
The kids are with the in laws
Ready to get some cold beers in me
Fired the fuck up
Trains are running and on time
Itâs also ridiculously hot at the moment.

No I donât have data to prove that our attendance or memberships are down by x percent due to the chant.
But it has been flagged as problematic many times over the years from within our own supporter base, so it remains a divisive issue to this day.
Is it a storm in a teacup? Maybe.
Does it strengthen our support and help the club? I donât think it does.
Does it provide ammunition to WSW fans who parade it as 'âevidenceâ that SFC is ESFC? Yes, for the last 10 years and probably for as long as the chant exists.
If I as a member for 13 years cringe a little when I hear the âwe come from all sides of the harbourâ, followed by âFâ off Western Sydney scumâ, it is an own goal that achieves little.
But letâs agree to disagree.

I donât think these chants, or social media slagging matches, have any impact on our attendance FWIW. I think they give the Wanderflogs ammunition and potentially increase their derby attendances, if anything. They just frustrate me, especially when we have active members in here who have posted saying âyo I get centrelink, can we stop with the insultsâ

How dare you!
I agree with this. I have long felt uncomfortable when sitting near WSW-supporting families with young kids who have to put up with it. If I were them, not sure I would bring the kids back to have to hear it. Just like I used to dislike some of the very derogatory classist stuff SFC people used to chant about CCM people. (even if it was funny!)
I donât think it affects our membership numbers and attendances but I like the idea of as much inclusion as possible across the A League, particularly getting families with young kids into the habit of coming to matches. I would much prefer chants against WSW fans rather than people from the West (who include many of us). J League style fandom is what I would like to see more of.
Forza Cove! You guys do a great job!!

Turncoats and bandwagoners, the lot of âem.
Weâre still a few years away from them having genuine fans who didnât:
A. support Sydney FC first
B. only start following them when they started winning towards the end of season one
C. wait for their team, completely ignoring the league when it needed them most in its infancy
I may be a cunt, but at least Iâm not a fucking cunt.

âWe pay your benefitsâ is an all-time line, albeit very classist

Ignorance is bliss and youâre a happy mutha fucka!
Lots of people hear âFuck off Western Sydney scumâ and understand that itâs referring to their team. I donât recall us using it in any major capacity against Bulls or any of the WS-based sides weâve played in the cup. Itâs been led by Westie capos. Iâve seen multiple Westie Sydney FC fans chanting it. We chant the same thing at Melbourne Victory and âWanderersâ doesnât fit the chant. Wanderers use everything as ammunition for their BS position. Iâm not interested in pacifying them. I donât join the âbenefitsâ chant because itâs genuinely a bad take, but Iâll chant the former at derbies every time.

Look, most Panthers fans who say âFuck Parraâ mean the Eels, even if they might claim to also dislike the place. Iâm not interested in impressing Wanderers fans, nor can you compare potentially âinsulting all Westiesâ with the chant to the word retard or classiest and homophobic comment. Theyâve been calling us East Sydney since day dot, regardless of our chants. Western Sydney is part of their actual name. Itâs not like weâve been chanting âFuck off Westiesâ since pre-Wanderers days and thatâs why they defected. Putting the blame on us for that is feeding into their crap.
