Five points clear on top of the league, a record-breaking ninth-straight win and a place in next year's Asian Champions League seemingly assured. There's only one thing left for the Western Sydney Wanderers this season.

This remarkable fairytale, unequalled in Australian football, perhaps in Australian sport, just keeps rolling. It's developed its own momentum, not only on the pitch, but in the stands.

Even though the NRL season is back, Parramatta Stadium has transformed into ''Wanderland''. The 15,809 attendance comfortably eclipsed the 13,351 present the day before for the Eels' season opener.

Interestingly, the visitors were the last-placed team. Yet Wanderers home matches have transformed into legitimate events. It's the hottest ticket out west.
