    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!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join 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.

Are you actually serious about Auckland City getting 50 million pounds...? That is insane, that would make them the richest ALeague club by a country mile

They get half a million in USD. Not sure of the exchange rate but 50m pounds seems unlikely.

The winner of the club world cup only gets 5m USD. That wouldn't have even covered the cost of Grealish's headbands.


Wow - just looked at the 2025 tournament (no tournament in 2024). 32 teams and 4 AFC spots (Saudi/ Qatari clubs buying their way in). 50mill just for qualifying. Winner will get 100m.

Yep, the 50 mill was based on next tournament, but previous years have still been nice little earners just for quantifying.

Could the AFC split into two confederations?

So the Asian Confederation has already thrown its support behind the Saudi bid for the 2034 World Cup. That was quick…

And the same FIFA run by Blatter and Infantino feels that it can give us morality lessons ["Say NO to racism"].
They need to look in the mirror and "Say NO to corruption".
I had hope when the FBI investigated but the rot is everywhere.
I'm all for your hard option.

Surely that's enough money to run a semi pro club like Auckland City for like... What 20 years?!

Apparently it is now a 4 yearly event so a minimum of around $24m a year just to compete!! Wellington and the new Auckland team who can't get an Asian spot need to lobby for a chance at that.
