Here we are, having qualified for our 2nd Grand Final in our second season, expecting to take 8,000 travelling fans to Suncorp Stadium to watch us take on the Roar. That's after having topped our Asian Champions League Group, on the back of a season where we came 2nd on the table and gathered 16,900 members!
It's a truely magical story, given the club barely existed 2 years ago. Who would have thought that we would have raised the Premiers Plate in our debut season, that our fans would be praised as the best in the A-league? The Heartland of Football in Australia is now finally represented in the national competition after years of waiting.
The A-league was on it's last legs before the Wanderers came along. The FFA had to create a Western Sydney club in just 6 months, and they had to get it right or else it and the entire competition would probably have folded. Thankfully the FFA decided to ask the fans what they wanted - well look how that turned out
I look back to our first ever game at Cook Park, St Marys which I attended, where the RBB was a bunch of 50 blokes, where we got 3,500 people to the game. Now look at how far we've come. Onwards and upwards
As a Foundation Member of the club, I'm immensely proud of what we've acheived in such a short amount of time.
Go Wanderers!
