Nate Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Tbf Rudan is probably 100% correct if following Wellington's history is anything to go by - they've always seemed a club lacking ambition for sure. But the weird thing I agree is that he articulated those thoughts in such a manner. Be way better if he just publicly declared as much and stoked the flames a little, the A-League needs a bit of passion back. Instead we get this high school bitchy shit lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted October 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Well, at least they've got some fans, and there's a not a lot to do in the wild west. TBH, I hope that the club succeeds, because I reckon that it's a high-risk venture and the last thing the League needs is another failure. So far the attendances this season have not impressed me - for example, only 17,000 at Docklands last night - and IMO the League desperately needs a boost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysHeart Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 So was the crowd 6,088 or 6,888 ? For their first home game . In any case they are off to a worrying start off the field . Hopefully they at least average 7,000 this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we should be cautious about comments on free tickets etc. I very much doubt that City is squeaky clean on attendances. For example, last season's FFA Cup QF against Western Sydney has an "official"FFA attendance of 1,800, whereas some other reports say 4,191. I am also pretty sceptical about other reported attendances at our home matches last season. We also gave away free tickets to at least one home match last season.

bt50 Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) Personally i think the impact of free tickets is overstated anyway tbh. If you dont have the hype, then free tickets often just go to waste anyway. Good example R3 last year, a bit of hype around the team going into the Sydney game coupled with free tickets via the Maccas promo meant we had a terrific crowd; i think most of that would be the members turning up because of the good vibes but maybe you add another 1500 or so turning up because of the promotion. We ran the exact same promo later in the season and i reckon id had close to zero impact. Why? Because there was no hype and we were seen as a dud product. I wouldnt say the free tix have zero impact, but end of the day i think people are happy to pay if they are anticipating a good product. If the anticipation isnt there, neither are the attendances and free tickets dont do much to alleviate that. In reference to WU, i'd say there'd be some hype around them for the Perth game, just being that it was their first ever home game. Hence i think 6888 or 6088 are both poor figures, esp when you consider our debut home game figures. I dont envisage WU are going to improve that figure non-derby for the season either unless they can really look like a contender; imo they'll seriously struggle to crack 3-4000 each home game going forward. Likewise i dont think their membership number is overly representative either, given that theres a stack of 2 ($30) and 4 ($60) game memberships that are clearly cheaper than GA tickets of other clubs. I'll admit im tempted to buy one for the Ballarat games for example, makes sense financially, although i can't bring myself to put my name down as a member for the wutang clan.

AlwaysHeart Posted October 23, 2019 Report Share Posted October 23, 2019 The A-League needs a strong Western United , i really wish them the best , so much so that i even got a cheapie $15 supporter membership and am down as a foundation member , will do the same next year with MacArthur Bulls. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mus-28 Posted October 26, 2019 Report Share Posted October 26, 2019 I still can't see it happening, I reckon they're testing the waters in Geelong and will probably do a deal to get a stadium built there instead, which was the original plan when they were the Victorian Patriots. It just doesn't make sense to change your location to an undeveloped shit-hole. FFA should've delayed this announcement until the State Govt made a decision on a stadium in Dandenong.

It really made no sense to rush them in this season. At least could have waited until next season and add generic fc and Macarthur together and avoid the byes... FFA are great at making bad decisions, the only highlights from their reign has been the introduction of the Wanderers and the Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
