I was watching the 7:30 report last night and saw the piece on The Wanderers. Knowing nothing really about the A-league or Western Sydney I was pretty impressed by the passion of all the fans. For the GWS fans is this simply due to all the die hard soccer fans in the area or was there aspects of how the club was established that made it more successful?
Obviously the two teams are very different as GWS is essentially encouraging people in the area to follow AFL while The Wanderers are tapping into generations of soccer fans who already have their rituals and passion for their sport.
I guess my question is do you see any strategies that The Wanderers used to build a fan base that you think GWS could learn from?
Yeah, winning.
