 Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Western Sydney Wanderers members forum ahead of the 21-22 a league season First of all, thank you all for coming here tonight. We've said from day one We want to be a club for the community and we've built a football infrastructure And it's not in debate second to none and it needs to be reflective of a region that's proud of itself Needs to be proud of its club both the coach and CEO and now did the newly appointed captain It's really important for them to actually front up give members an opportunity to ask them direct questions about this club Things guys all for having us. It's wonderful be able to approach you guys and be part of this club Seven years ago. We'll Asian champions. So what are we going to do differently to get to that level again? Because that's where we want to be Yes, the last few years have been difficult, but that's just how life works as well You can't go through your whole life having a rosy red, you know We're building the only way we can do our best is if the whole Community of Western Sydney this club the fans the staff the players we're all pulling in the same direction If we pull in the same direction, you know what this club can do So there's no reason why we can't do it again, but we need the belief I'm not one of them supporters like if they lose. I'm not a member for life Win or lose. I take it the way it comes What will you do to ensure the players express more of a passion and I really understand Your frustration what I'll say to it is I bought in players that are from this area Bringing in Western Sydney boys who understand what the region is about what Western Sydney is about fights passion values There's no excuses from them grew up playing football on The streets used to come out and find a little cul-de-sacs car parks We used to end up with scratches at the end of the day on your arms and knees Grew up in the West represent the West. It's all over the joint Even we got come back down. They come from there, you know black town went where you name it It's all over Women's football is going too much over the past couple years to be treated equally like the boys It's just amazing. They're really treated like professionals here Wonders have a very good Background as far as what they've done. I think it's an involvement in the community. It certainly brings us together in a big way That's what football is about having fun to passionate and everything to love and the support. That's my work background You're from doesn't know who you are. You're all the same. I'm sorry football is to create in our culture That represent the Western Sydney It's a real family-based club very very tight-knit. It's one big community really it's not sort of just a team You know, it's another home away from home to another family away from your own family Watching the wonderers play following them each season brings us together It's about teaching the kids as well really to be honest You don't you're not there just for the good times Our role as supporters and members is to really support the team to do their best and then it's their job to do the best They came on with you We are nothing without the fans. It's the it's the community club. It's everyone's club You look at the passion of the people here tonight. They are indicative of the belief they have in the club With rainhole or shine they are there they have loved their club from inception. They're the ones that live the team The wonder is support is I think different to a lot of clubs the passion and the noise the the marches The atmosphere here on game day. This is the reason why I keep keep coming back why I keep signing up why every year I renew my mention Accountability is a big thing and some people shy away from it and some people are scared. We're not scared We are accountable. We will be accountable But it takes everyone it doesn't just take the coach it doesn't just take the group of players It doesn't just take the management doesn't just take the fans. It takes everyone Now it's down to us to To win games and bring people in and bring bring the city together. This is what wonders stand This is the community.
