Wanderers to get new 30,000 seat stadium:

New South Wales Premier Mike Baird has announced a new 30,000 seat stadium will be built at Parramatta on the site of the existing Pirtek Stadium at a cost of $300 million.


The decision is a huge boost for the Western Sydney Wanderers who have capped their membership numbers at approximately 16,500 due to the current capacity of Pirtek 21,500.

The new stadium is set to be completed in 2019 and is the first of three new stadiums to be built in Sydney over the next ten years as part of a $1.6 billion plan.

Wanderers CEO John Tsatsimas praised the announcement.

“Replacing our now outdated but still much loved venue, Wanderland will be reborn and the opportunity presented to our club, our fans and our region will be huge,” said Tsatsimas.

“It will give us the ability to grow as a Club and sets a platform for a number of opportunities to continue on our path to becoming a globally recognised and respected football club.

“While the transformation and planning for the new stadium in Parramatta takes place there will be a period of displacement that we will have to deal with.

“Over the next few months as we learn more of the Government’s timelines for work to commence on our venue we will consult with our members and supporters to help guide our decision making process on where we will play our matches while Wanderland is under construction.”

It is expected that construction will begin no earlier than December 2016, meaning the upcoming A-League season won’t be effected by the proposal.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the Wanderers were almost forced to play recent Asian Champions League matches away from Pirtek due to the poor facilities.

“We had issues with the Asian Champions League where teams nearly refused to play there - not because of the ground, but because of the facilities. As soon as I got involved and our management team got involved, we realised really early in the piece that facilities [required upgrades]," Wanderers chairman Paul Lederer told the Herald.

Sydney FC can also expect a new stadium within the next decade with a proposed 55,000-seat stadium to be built at Moore Park to replace Allianz Stadium, however details regarding costs and a timeline where not released today.

They should just make it 40,000.

I think they could easily outgrow the newly announced 30k stadium in the next 10yrs with the predicted growth in the area of Greater Western Sydney.

They'd have 20,000 members NOW if it was allowed, but there'd be no room for away fans and walk-ups.

So gaining an extra 1,000 members per year for the next 10 years would imo be feasible. Then WSW would have to put up the sign again ........

Nah reckon that's a perfect size. Very rarely think it would need more.
The initial shine has worn off. My mate was keen to get a membership for his family. 2 yrs of disappointment now he couldn't be bothered
