'The' GWS.......knock it off

[Kram]

They say GWS all the time. Cant really remember them saying The GWS.

Healy and Dwayne Russell do it all he time..

 

[Sttew]

GWS is a stupid name full stop. Should ditch the 'Greater' altogether.

I'd be curious to know whether Sydneysiders refer to the area as Greater Western Sydney. Its a bit like South-eastern Suburbs of Melbourne

 

[Franc de Borges]

Gerard Healy is the worst for doing this.

No, to Gerard it'd be: "The, eehhhhhh, GWS, eeeeh, Giants..."

Nah usually western sydney if as a whole but mostly the regional city (ie blacktown, penrith, parra etc)
We all would mostly prefer it. But the act sponsorship kinda dents it. Ive accepted and grown to love it. So doesnt bother me.

 

[Quivorir]

Can't say I've heard anyone refer to the club as THE GWS

Have you ever watched a The GWS game?

 

[Feerits Elf]

Better to have Gerard call you "The GWS" than "The Gold C---ts"

[Walk the Hawk]

I don't see the problem.

 

[Milux]

OP seriously needs a chill pill. Get the **** over it.

Western Sydney is like a 4th world Lebanon.... DO NOT GO THERE EVER

 

[SBYM]

This is the longest pre-season ever. When it's over I'll resemble Tom Hanks in Castaway.

 

[Cmarsh]

Well we're at it, it's "Ukraine" not "The Ukraine".

Harsh.

 

[Cmarsh]

They are basically called "GWS", no one calls then Greater Western Sydney. Ever.

Thery should have just been the Western Sydney Giants, then people would say it in full like "Western Sydney Wanderers".

We can blame Canberra for that.

 

[Cmarsh]

Harsh.

...and untrue.

 

[Colonial]

We can blame Canberra for that.

Arent we trade marked Western Sydney football club?

Aaahh, the Big Footy, forever tackling the 'the Big Questions'...

Yeah. The Ukraine Girls ...

'West Coast' is a pretty silly name when you think about, should change to Perth or have been just Western at the start.

Perth Football Club.

Good on you umm... ahhh........ Huddo.

But seriously they should've just been West Sydney/Western Sydney. The 'GWS' name just sounds so manufactured and unappealing to an area that never really asked for a team in the first place.
