2014/15 Memberships

[Jaundice]

I can't answer the first question as I don't know.

The second is that they want investment in the central coast being central coast business people with business here on the coast. Their model is to build a central coast based football club for the community.

Better alternative wouldn't be hard as compared to Charlesworth.

Easier said then done. This isnt exactly a revelation either. Its the type of thing that has been said and aimed for since day dot.
Good on them if their intentions are pure, but id need more then hot air and cliche promises before im convinced.

I think Breakers were gone, and the new club wasn't the same thing. When you're club's dead, how you deal with it is up to you, but this is a case of hopping the fence because you prefer the look of the grass on the other side.

Yes. The Breakers had been axed and replaced by the new club which was a different entity. However, the squad was the same. And Newcastle was still Newcastle. Thankfully I live in Lake Macquarie who have a love\hate relationship with Newcastle anyway!

Was Flores a great off field ambassador because he was injured?

Alot of people loved him & the fact they feel they know him shows you the road to travel. Spend more time engaging the community & it will be Flores who.
Spend no time engaging & it may well be i used to go the Mariners but winning wasn't something I enjoyed it was more chilling with Flores so I became a Scum/Jerk banker.

Hope those guys don't want there seats back when the jets fold (NRL moving to take over the Knights) just a matter of time before it's the jets turn) as I won't be giving them up.

Flores was smooth but Kids just want to see there idols up close.

Did Flores do all the work because CCM made him or do it on his own back?

You want see him again once his knee if fixed.

Don't care who the player is - anyone who turns from us to the scum is a rat pure and simple. A dirty, turncoat rat.

He didn't turn from us, we pushed him away.

 

[dibo]

He didn't turn from us, we pushed him away.

Again, I'm talking 'fans', not players. Players are necessarily mercenary, but for that reason he shouldn't expect a warm welcome from me at least.

 

[priorpeter]

3 guys I know have now decided to buy season tickets at Newcastle instead of the Mariners. There reasoning is that they want to watch quality football. They are fans as well.

No, they aren't fans mate. They deserve to be pushed down the stairs.

 

[Wombat]

In your mind maybe but not mine.

When you lie down with dogs my friend!

If you think that is acceptable behaviour you are f**ked in the head. Is your club Gwandalan by any chance?

 

[Wombat]

I beg to differ. There comes a point where things can get so bad at a club that allegiances ARE swapped. There are plenty of examples of this very close to home. I would estimate that at least a half dozen hard-core Mariner supporters used to be hard-core Newcastle supporters. Many of them kicked off the original forums and are still very prominent in our ranks today.

I suppose you could argue that these fans didn't actually change clubs. Rather their Club was sabotaged and replaced by a different club (Scum FC) that these fans chose to ignore until the Mariners came along. They did however swap regions and teams.

So how do you feel about Mariners fans who used to follow Newcastle?

Dirty......like having a dodgy Priest in the parish.

Maybe if we could have a cleansing ceremony to rid these Scummers of the filth they used to encourage/support.

 

[pjennings]

Club > Player.

I don't care if Mother Theresa is playing for the scum, you don't change clubs, end of story.

I am not misunderstanding what it is to be a fan to you, but to others its different. 3 guys I know have now decided to buy season tickets at Newcastle instead of the Mariners. There reasoning is that they want to watch quality football. They are fans as well. And you know in these times their money is pretty helpful as well.

If they think the scum will play quality football then they are poor judges

Just on my club forever ..... an old saying I first heard when I was appointed to my first role where I had staff reporting to me... I was almost 19 and looked 15 ... ten staff mostly in their 30's & 40's,.. my boss said to me .. You can't demand respect you need to command respect"" or earn respect.

Our club is new and establishing itself and from Hal 1 to Hal 8 commanded respect ... Hal 9 and today it's like they are demanding respect ... nothing turns people off than being told how they should feel ...

My brief understanding of market analysis is supporters came in all sorts of styles from only when we are winning with style, to turn up and support no matter what...

The turn up and support no matter in no way is the largest group ... so if management as others have posted sell the most liked and best players, move games, etc then why should fans at Blacktown not start to support the Drive Bys... why should people in Newcastle not follow Newcastle ... Con is long gone...

At last seasons fans forum David Gallop said as the smallest club to survive as a club we need to do everything right and if we look around questions are being asked..

I left the last forum impressed but still have not seen the CEO on this site and I assume the mods have invited him.. There is a point when people loss faith in something [not suggesting we are anywhere near there yet] however MC is away 75% of the year and relies on others to keep him updated ... How good they are and do they tell him all is something we will never know...

But if a team just continually lets you down then there does come a time when you go .... HHHHmmmmm for me I have had four teams.. Auburn in the 60's until they were reduced to a park team, Blacktown Demons until they could not afford to stay in the top division of the NSL, Northern Spirit until the last 12 months when they were moving grounds etc... Now the Mariners ...

I am prepared to listen to reasoned arguments from the club on their decision making, but do I feel come what may I stand here and fight ... HHHHHmmmm not really ... in fact both SFC & WSW offer a better game day experience ... so all those Mariner fans living within 30 minutes of Parramatta stadium you need to do a lot to keep them .. I personally am aware of four former fans who swapped the first year WSW came into the A-League ...

Just think anyone west of Parramatta ... and all those areas around Eastwood / Epping / Ryde etc Parramatta is looking good ...

Lets get behind the club but let us also be aware many fans do change clubs...

Middy....those people are not really fans.....but we would do well to keep their dollars.


Btw....weren't we supposed to have a meeting this week!

Yep.

[Capt. Awesome]

Looks like membership is on par to last year but is complicated .

Gold membership this year is $230 compared to last years $260 but this year we lose another game to BO and this years membership does not include Hat and Scarf.

General admission (blue membership) is $165 compared to last years $195 with one less game and no scarf.

Merch packs are an optional extra.

Looks cheaper on the surface but less value

 

[VicMariner]

Merchandise at extra cost.
After the fan consultation all they have done is take away free stuff.
I'll still get a membership but I won't be slugging myself with an extra fee.

 

[MrCelery]

Good value. Happy do without the merchandise, as I already have a scarf and cap. They need to update the fixture list though. It shows 12 games at Central Coast Stadium, not 11.

 

[kevrenor]

Renewed ... Gold ... Bay 7

I decided to pay for commemorative scarf as I am a 10 year member ... it said we would have that option (5/10 - but didn't ask me, so hope club's records give me a 10 year automatically)

Also note that Supporters Club said we could pay for them as part of this renewal, but no such option given.

 

[Roy Law]

I don't think anyone should go to Brookie or NSO; we should take our sofas, German style, and watch on the big screen at 'Bluetongue'

You only have one scarf? For shame.
