Western Sydney Wanderers were left holding more than just a “rose with thorns” when they advertised a “heterosexual” singles night leading to a public outcry and a hasty apology.

On Monday, the professional football club announced a “Single’s Night at Wanderland” during their Round 26 match against Perth Glory at the Bankwest Stadium on April 4.

The advertisement on the club’s website asked its “single and ready to mingle fans” whether they were “looking for a rose among the thorns”.

The announcement concluded with the line “Everyone is welcome, however please note this is a hereosexual event.” The reaction on social media was swift, with the club being panned for being “tone deaf” “homophobic” and scoring an “own goal”.
