Up Next At Home… it’s a Retro Double Header

Get ready to step back in time at our next home Double Header on Friday 17 January at Ironbark Fields, Tarneit. 

We’re throwing it back to the 70s, 80s, 90s (and 2019 đŸ˜‰) for the inaugural Western United ‘Retro Round’. 

While the Club is merely six years old, the home double header will celebrate all things retro football, music, food and fun from across the decades with a football throwback to our first season, which begun in 2019. 

What’s on – Matchday Fun

There will be prizes for the best dressed retro fans, as selected by the three boys above who donned the first season kits from our archive at training this week. Let’s see those 2019 kits with some 80s double-denim or 90s neon, or perhaps a vintage football kit from the 70s, 80s or 90s that is from your collection – or even just go for the retro theme with some 70s denim flared pants, an 80s ruffle skirt or 90s athleisure wear with your Reebok Pumps!

Think retro football jerseys, DJs and hula hoops – we’re taking your matchday experience back to the ‘good old days’ of peace, love and disco. 

Get in early to score one of 500, limited edition, gate giveaways celebrating Jordan Lauton’s amazing bicycle goal more information to follow! Visit our pop-up vintage football jersey market stalls, chill to the DJs spinning disco tunes and let the kids loose in the retro kids games and activations area. 

The Western Bar and Kiosk will be serving up Ironbark favourites with some special ‘retro’ food and drink items exclusive to this round, mmmmm… who’s hungry?

Plus, there will be more exciting retro activities and surprises announced during match week. Stay tuned to the Western United socials!

What’s on – A-Leagues Action

For the main act, witness two sensational games of football with the boys taking on the Jets for the first time at Ironbark, and the girls hosting cross town rivals Melbourne City in our first ever derby at home.  

Let’s cheer on our teams to the club’s first six-point double header at Ironbark – make some noise Westies!
