Th FFA didn't get lucky with the Wanderers. Vocal fans from Western Sydney demanded basically all of the things you see from that brand (name, colours, logo, stadiums) They forced the FFAs hand at community meetings that they demanded where held. The amount of real football passion in that part of passion in that part of Aus is virtually unmatched.
That's what I meant by the FFA getting lucky with WSW - it wasn't anything to do with what the FFA did or didn't do that made the club a roaring success, it was factors outside their control. They did the right thing to listen to the demands but that's where it ends. The other expansion clubs (Gold Coast, North Queensland, Heart) either folded or struggled badly. We are sort of an expansion club too and now the FFA are talking about folding us as well.I think the FFA think that they can just replicate the WSW outcome in South Sydney
