The Wanderers' bosses did connect well with the local community from day 1 with their organised fan forums across Western Sydney seeking free advice and feedback. They listened to the large number of Soccer fans there regarding the name of the club, kit, home stadium, etc.... Winning obviously helped big time also as Sydneysiders have a history of jumping on successful on-field bandwagons. Add Del Piero going to Sydney FC and the number of people attending A-league games in Sydney has effectively tripled. The removal of Nth Qld and Gold Coast has also cut out much of the negative poor sub-5000 crowd talk. The FFA have made plenty of correct moves for the sport over the past 12 months.
