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 hope we keep jaden casella and Ruon tongyik too Mark Birighitti
I agree, if the rumours are true that we have re-signed some of the squad then why not announce them and take a bit of the sting out of the Staj departure? They clearly got ahead of the game with the very welcome Rowles re-signing this week but one wonders if the cupboard is otherwise bare…I was hoping the club might chuck us a signing on Friday arvo to draw a line under the Staj departure and move forward but not to be. There’s a fair few player departures around the place being announced so I wonder if we have our eye on anyone.
Hes signed to Paramount to spout shit for them. Not gonna be our coachIf bullying Brand Rudan becomes coach, I'll be booing him every time he comes out on the pitch. He is one of the biggest wankers in football.
There’s no way in a million years we’d sign Rudan. Not worth discussing imoIf bullying Brand Rudan becomes coach, I'll be booing him every time he comes out on the pitch. He is one of the biggest wankers in football.
Agree, he will never coach us thank goodnessThere’s no way in a million years we’d sign Rudan. Not worth discussing imo
MC's statements in this article are worth a fair bit of thought.MC is alive
Sounds like staj had been thinking about another job for a little bit (maybe Western U or women’s world cup) and has decided to take that up instead of our small budget run team
Mariners owner shrugs off Stajcic's surprise exit
Mike Charlesworth says the Mariners have overcome "much bigger issues," as he looks to draw a line under the surprise exit of coach Alen Stajcic.www.espnfc.com
Yeah but why the issue with Staj, that’s the number 1 question for me. I think what people are saying makes sense and could be close to the mark however I still feel staying with Staj for next season would have been a priority so why did it all fall over. This is the problem with the lack of detail.I've been thinking something similar as to whether he might have 2nd thoughts about selling. A lot of his strategies for making the club self-sufficient are closer to fruition than they have ever been - stadium rights, a pipeline of players that can provide transfer revenue and even the possibility of further development at the COE.
With crowds on the up again and the positivity around the 10/Paramount deal, I can see him being tempted to hang in there a bit longer.
If that was going to happen, I really don’t think we’ll see it happen now - given he officially stated he was getting off the pot.MC now has his much-touted independent A-League, possibly stadium management rights and the new (and much better) broadcast deal, so it is time for him to do what he previously said he would do and meaningfully invest in the club.
If he fails to do so, we will know for sure that he is just a bs merchant. None of us would expect him to bankrupt himself but all of the triggers he publicly said were required to encourage him to put more money in have effectively been met, so it’s now time to p*ss in the pot or get off of it.
Just wrong!!...not sure how I feel about using a toilet analogy for our club. But there it is,
