Western Sydney Wanderers Thread- Cosplay Ultras Edition

The whole “identity” thing is what screwed them up in the first place. It’s not the board’s fault that the RBB watched Green Street Hooligans a few too many times and decide to get “well 'ard.” The supporters forced the club to re-evaluate how they show themselves to the a-league and forced the issue with the RBB refusing to accept any responsibility. The only other option was constant fines and closed games.

They could have a managerial committee of Allegri, Mourinho, Klopp, Conte, Guardiola & Gattuso it wouldn’t make much difference with the line up of donkey’s they’re fielding week after week.

Like their sponsor would say " I’m Loving It "

Surely nobody listens to Bosnich anymore do they? Him choosing the entire Victory XI as his team of the week was just embarrassing.

Not sure where else to put this but the new Parramatta stadium will be known as Bankwest Stadium:

I long for the day a new stadium is dubbed 'NSW Taxpayer Park" or similar.
ANZ Stadium, the Westpac helicopter, et al shit me to tears, frankly…
Pay a minuscule fraction of the construction/running cost to have your name associated with a massive expenditure of everyone’s money, in perpetuity… like they paid for the fuckin thing… cunts
Call it after eg Tommy Raudonikis and tell them to shove their pittance up their arse…

That’s not how it works at all. The stadium name is literally an advertising contract - ANZ Stadium remains ANZ Stadium for as long as ANZ is willing to pay as much as the stadium operators want for naming rights. If they decide to stop paying, or if somebody else is offering more that they’re not willing to match, then the stadium name changes.

It’s how Aussie Stadium (i.e. Aussie Home Loans) became Sydney Football Stadium became Allianz Stadium, or how Telstra Dome became Etihad Stadium became Marvel Stadium.

The thing that upsets me about naming rights is that it is difficult to keep track of which stadium is which especially when they change names.
I like traditional names, Sydney Sports Ground, Craven Cottage, Kogarah Jubilee Oval, Henson Park etc.

Yeah but traditional names dont pay like the McDonalds Etihad Exxon Amazon iStadium does.

Thank you for explaining the concepts of sponsorship and advertising to me. SFCU delivers again…

What like Victory are NOT the only team in the A-League?

Why stop at stadiums? We could have Woolworths harbour and the Bunnings opera house.
We could make more money for the railways, next stop, Toyota Station followed by all stops to Lendlease.

over-reaction much?

If that meant the network wouldn’t shit itself on the first hot day every summer then I’m all for it!

As long as it came with a permanent sausage sizzle out the front, I’m in.

Onions all over the steps, very risky

Something closer to home, Im keen for sponsored usernames.
