More than 6000 fans turned out the last time the Wollongong Wolves played in the FFA Cup round-of-32, but that attendance could be doubled when the club gets another chance on the national stage next month. In what shapes as the biggest football match in the Illawarra in the past decade, Wollongong will host A-League giants Sydney FC at WIN Stadium. With A-League expansion on the horizon, the match shapes as a massive opportunity for South Coast supporters to come out in their numbers and make a statement to the FFA. Tickets for the match, which will be held on Wednesday, August 10, went on sale to the general public on Monday. Wolves members already had access to tickets following pre-sales last Thursday. The match will be broadcast live around the country as one of four matches on Fox Sports.
