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.
Bloody Hell! It's less than 10 mins. walk from Robina station. It's a rip down the M1 with plenty of parking 2 mins. away. Geeze, we probably spend more time driving/parking.walking to a game at CCS.What are they? Spoiled? Obviously they must be.
If we didn't have to risk our physical well-being, we might travel there more often.
It did come about because of Victory's initial deal but that doesn't or shouldn't have meant that we handed over a potential chance to create new fans. Victory had a contractual obligation to play their yes but in the end it was still our home game and we should have been able to dictate the terms of the agreement with Victory meaning giving us much more control. I just think we missed a big opportunity for little output. Because even if we are getting paid to do it we still decided to play in Geelong and we should have made a play for a fanbase there. If Victory's initial terms of the agreement with us didn't allow this then we say we don't want it without our own terms. It's not like Victory could have gone to any other clubs.
Gee I dunno JP. I think you're drawing a very long bow to say we could have established a fan base in Geelong. After all the Mexicans hate us almost as much as the Cane Toads do (VicMariner excepted, of course
).
I tend to agree we probably wouldn't have gotten many if any supporters out of it but Victory were in the tightest position possible. If they hadn't fufilled their contractual obligation to Geelong they would have been in deep trouble and going to us was their only option. I just think we could have had this game more on our terms and could have possibly made them pay to advertise for us. Because seriously looking around the league where else could they have gone?Gee I dunno JP. I think you're drawing a very long bow to say we could have established a fan base in Geelong. After all the Mexicans hate us almost as much as the Cane Toads do (VicMariner excepted, of course
Essentially this nails it.
