CCM Fans and the club

[turbo]

Yeah but Optus buy content only, they don’t have all the camera crews and resources required to produce the content and probably never will so the A League will have to fund/sort this out themselves.

Foxtel already subcontract a large chunk of it. Not unreasonable for the league/FFA to wrap it all up as a package.

Yep true. The iHAL might need that support but going the optus path also allows for greater freedom with IP and season management. Fox will want blood for their $30-$40m a year. Now union is gone maybe they won't be stingy but I don't know.

I wonder if moving to winter is a help or hinderance with the subcontractors since we will be competing with the oval balls.

NPLTV is a great concept - an AL version would make content and then a platform could distribute (whether that is Optus.Stan or even Fox).

Requires capital to get going as content costs. Maybe thats something the newly independant AL is looking at?

Would love to see this and be the first Oz sport to do so. Pretty sure the J League did this and went from strength to strength. I like that the league has to make something happen Now instead of just relying on Fox money.

A big benefit to packaging the product for Optus or another platform is the ability to recruit their own talent. Don’t like Slater or Speed? No worries don’t hire them.

Can you advise on any A-League marketing programs for next season... just seems like Football is invisible and its not that far off starting...

The campaigns are being worked on - I think that once the independence is locked away we will see the league start to stand of our own feet better. I know there is a membership drive week being planned - but they need to get the draw finalized next above all. It has been near impossible for them with ACL draw changes and border restrictions. So the next step is the draw, then members drive then marketing campaign.

I think things like the outbreak in SA show, it's absolutely a minefield planning a draw at the moment. It is almost like no matter what you do, someone is going to get the rough end of the pineapple somehow.

I suspect outbreaks will sadly come and go, and there will be matches cancelled and rescheduled all over the place.

Just over a three weeks to our first game.

Can we expect player announcements over the next few days.

Also from what level they are coming from if announcements are to be made

It’s around midday 7 December, 2020.

The season starts on 27 December or in 20 days’ time.

Our first match is 31 December or 23 days.

Memberships are on sale.

Our draw is not friendly to Sydney based fans.

You have a history of not saying things that are not signed sealed and ready for delivery and for that huge respect.

However, there is no hiding as of right now, this is the worst squad going into a season we have ever had.

You mentioned on Mariner TV we have two potential overseas players… can you give an update…

Further on the same episode you suggested a couple of more senior players to be signed… again can you give an update…

The lack of communication from the club IMO in talking around town is starting to hurt.

Good, bad or indifferent, can you provide an update of when new players announcements should be made and were they are from…

Your a bit keen?

 

[FFC Mariner]

And if there is no one? (I'm not saying there isn't, I haven't a clue) but this is CCM

 

[Coastalraider]

Then we start the league with the worst squad in our history. Potentially the worst in A League history.

 

[Avoca]

Being the A-League “member’s week”, I’m optimistic a few new signings will be announced soon.

 

[Corsair]

I started off thinking I'd get a full after we signed bozanic. Now I'm thinking a 6 game but it's rapidly looking like a 3 game.

 

[Coast Football Ramble]

One word. Signings

Would you accept singings instead?
I'll get Pete to bring his guitar in and perform Wonderwall.
