ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.
ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.
A-League Expansion

I chatted to a couple of the Canberra guys on the way out. Seemed nice enough. Good on them for a pretty good showing at a neutral game, about 30 or so people. They need to make banners that are easier to read.
The fact is there will be little (or larger) fan groups popping up in all the bid areas. You can't award them all a team, at least not right away, and the FFA is going to place teams based on rich owners, good markets and strong business plans rather than grassroots supporter group movements.

Green banners with white writing = epic fail
There would have needed to be something like over 300 Canberra supporters to be newsworthy and 2000 to affect any FFA decision. No team in embryonic stages could muster this sort of support.
Derbies sell tickets and make for interesting viewing. I don't like Lucas Neill very much, but I think unless he has interests in a team, he won't return. He is one of a few socceroos who would generate wider media and crowd interest. Sterjovski, for example, isn't going to convert EPL fans to A-league.
Western Sydney team would have good youth players, like Gregor Pac, winner of the Pavel Nedved Football Scholarship.

So the Gold Coast have released more details including their logo and team colours.
Their colours are White, Yellow and blue...............sound like any teams we know?
Out of all the colours and all the combinations possible, they choose OUR colours, they didnt even pick a different tone of blue. Am I alone in being annoyed by this?

Look at the colour of their city council banner at top left.
I'm guessing both regions (as in places, not teams) adopted yellow and blue as colours based on the 'Coast' in their name and the colour of water and sand.
It would have been nice to have Gold Coast pink and Nth Qld green, giving those are basically the only colours not in the A-League, but there had to be overlap eventually. Man U and Liverpool are both red, and it hasn't held them back!
Honkee is right though - we had it first and shall claim that fact through witty song.

Just quietly. the GCU colours are the same as the Gold Coast Titans colours, meaning people can rock up in either kit and be supporting GCU.
Yes, yes, their colours are very similar to ours, but the magnificent FFA has approved them, so the horse has bolted.

Gold Coast United should back up the big talk: Farina
By Frank Farina
January 16, 2009 THIS season has not finished, but it seems that we already know who's going to win the 2009-10 A-League championship - Gold Coast United.
From the way Clive Palmer's talking, they've already got next season's title in the bag because I can't see any other team going through the campaign unbeaten.
The other nine teams will be playing for second place. Maybe we need to create our own "best of the rest" trophy.
I sincerely wish Palmer and the Coast all the best, but maybe, just maybe, they're talking themselves up just a bit too much.
They all should be hoping they've got the ammunition to back up what they're saying. That includes winning the 2011 Asian Champions League.
All their talk proves one thing. They're desperate to be part of the A-League now.
But unlike the Coast, the Roar are up to our necks in trying to win the title. And who better to show them how it's done.
Our battles with the Coast are for another time. We'll concern ourselves with them next season.
Meanwhile, the FFA may as well abolish the salary cap if they seriously consider adopting Palmer's idea of paying Australia players an extra $10,000 - without cap constraints - for every time they played for the Socceroos.
Some clubs with a host of Socceroos could soon go broke if they were forced to fork out an extra $10,000 every time one of their players represented their nation.
There's one rule for everyone in the A-League. It's the salary cap and it's certainly working.
We saw what happened in the old NSL if there were not restrictions on money being spent. Clubs go bust and the competition dies a slow death.
The FFA has got things 100 per cent right at the moment with the way the cap is enforced and the marquee player rules.
