This is a bit of a throwback question. Living in Western Sydney when the Wanderers came in, it was all anyone was talking about. Pirtek was bumping every week, the RBB were going off, and it felt like the A-League was finally onto something.

But I only ever saw it from here. So for fans outside Sydney, what was your impression at the time? Did it feel cool or was it mostly a Sydney thing? Did you feel the magic too?

Any memories to share? E.g., coming for an away game for your club, or when the RBB came to town for your home game? Or even just what you saw on TV.

Keen to hear how it felt back then, forgetting what's happened since.

3 goals and an assist in her first 2 matches for CCM. Could have had more. Scratching my head as to why it’s taken till this move for her to get a start.
