Sydney just not that interested in Soccer

[Terry]

You also have to acknowledge that gws is a team placed into an area which had bugger all interest in AFL hence the need to expand there. Interest still remains low, one reason, apart from being a new frontier, is the decision to not have a definitive area to attach itself to, but it does s making some in roads. Soccer has and will remain a dominant sport in that area.

Well said Fredo....almost coherent. Another reason I would give as to why fumbleball has little interest in western Sydney is because the game is a fumbling, bumbling, stumbling piece of rubbish. Hence no one cares in the golden west!!!!

Sure. Actually, you may have made a good point. To people from another code it would definitely appear foreign and weird. I know that when watching rl I used to think how stupid it was and why they didn't step around players or why they marked it on their chest so much ... using AFL as a reference point. Then I realised they were two totally separate games with nothing in common (there's an opening for you) and to appreciate rl for what it is (there's an opening for the AFL equivalent here)
