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!

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.
I said this to my partner when Vuka announced his retirement. I still think he should have stuck it out for another year at least and still could have given the youngins a lot of insight and assistance with learning the "trade"
I really don't blame him for this either, it's mighty unfair of 'lil dick to do what he done (which I suspect he knew he was departing for a lot longer than he made out to have been considering - once the paydays came through to 'recoup his losses financially is only the reason he announced it) When I was watching the doco about CCM after it aired I disliked him from that moment as there were some utterly abysmal things he was doing "behind the scenes", he came into this knowing full well that he'd have to open his wallet and spend a lot of dosh only to get cold feet and pull out and kind of felt that he tried to put all the blame on the APL's funding cuts.... like come on, that affected every club, not just us and then continues to cull the staff that actually went through thick and thin to aid this club....
Lose who??? No one turns up no matter how good we are. Even last year the crowds were underwhelming for what we achieved. MC has been the owner long enough to realise him splashing cash has very little bearing on numbers attending games. Watch the doco, it’s mentioned in depth.
Crowds never hit the heights we'd hoped - but watch them drift away now with even more of a loss in income
Who are we talking about? Peil or Charlesworth?
It was Peil's idea to do the culling of staff AFAIK, sweet talked everyone into doing it (or what I remember from the doco anyways, it's what it was made out to be anyways from memory)
Haven’t we already secured the concrete due to a win and a draw, meaning if jets were to win it would result to a win each and a draw, meaning that the current holders retain it?
Soccer?.
100% This week Pep has said that his 343 possession based football has been over taken.
@marinermick will explain it better than me but usually 442.
Have you listened to Jacko’s press conference?
No - always media friendly twaddle. He never actually says anything of substance so I've stopped bothering
