I think some people may have some views about the region which are becoming less correct.
Penrith is becoming less of what it used to be and is slowly becoming more "trendy" due to its distance from the city and house pricing. Incomes are on the up. A number of eateries, breweries and things to do are certainly causing a shift out that way.
There are suburbs around there which are skewing more higher income. Whilst some of the statements I read about Western Sydney/Penrith have some truth I find they are becoming less so. In fact, I'd say parts of Penrith are skewing footy friendly similarly to the Hills district but there's much work to do.
Weekend before last, I had my family ask me whether the Swans put on a watch event at Penrith Panthers Leagues club as there were a number of Swans fans seen at the league's club to watch the Brisbane Lions v Swans game when the Panthers game was on.
Some people may not think much of it but I think it's important to call out such shifts occuring where footy fans get together to watch a footy game at a leagues club. This is a tremendous effort and great job by all wherein footy fans feel comfortable to watch a game of footy there. Keep it up is all I will say, the visibility is important and is leading to a greater acceptance of footy.
Change is slow and takes time. Public perception is a big one if we want to see footy growth in western Sydney and I feel we're on the right track there.
