Coast Football Ramble Podcast

[Coast Football Ramble]

On this months show: We discuss the NPL2 Academy team, player transfer ins and outs, ongoing stadium issues and much more.

Also good to hear about rejecting the shirt drafts. Not going to just take a basic or ugly design.

Looking forward to the strip, hoping it's a beauty

I'm hoping it's not skin tight. I just had my son bagging me out coz the Thailand jersey in an XL looked like I was trying to steal a football under my shirt. He wasn't listening to the....Asian sizes are always way smaller routine.

Please Umbro....be kind!

Great return but, one question keeps bugging me here...

I am one of the few who genuinely couldn't care less about NRL - I don't care about code wars, don't see the point and I don't even peripherally follow an NRL team - I simply don't see the point of the game.
So I haven't got the faintest, what happened at the NRL game on the weekend, with the screen, the food or the crowd, but there's been a bunch of references, both on the Facebook page and the podcast here... Would someone mind updating me on what the council's done this time?

[true believer]

I got a rant from a bloke at work . that the beer queue took 40 minutes . People left and went to the club to watch it.

Lets be honest, the catering isn't up to it for the Mariners games so there was NO CHANCE they'd cope with 20k.

The catering is a joke. They seem to be able to cope with 8k but not much over that.

Wait WTF!? It's been what? A year since the council was going on about how it owned the screen as proven by the big fat sign next to it that says "Property of Central Coast Council" but now that there was an issue, it belongs to the Mariners after all?
This management mode for the council clearly hasn't made anything any better at this point, what a f*****g embarrasment!

Thanks everyone, for the responses though... Appreciate it!

 

[Pirate Pete]

nebakke, I think the Property of...... sign or whatever it says means the stadium.

I thought the screen was ours. Didn't the council cause a stink a few years ago because we owed them $250000 for it? Edited. see below
To be honest the report of the lack of screen and poor catering could be just what Mike wants to hear.
He's probably thinking, let the Mariners take it over and we'll run it properly.

So there was no big screen at all for the NRL

Though, it's not the end of their financial difficulties as a separate matter related to a six-year outstanding loan granted by the council is still disputed by the club. In 2008, the Mariners took out a loan from the council understood to now be worth close to $200,000 for the purchase of a big screen scoreboard at the stadium they are yet to repay and the matter was recently forwarded to legal mediation

They did what we had to for several years and carted in a temporary solution parked on the western side of the existing scoreboard.

You need Alcohol to watch NRL and they couldn't get it.

Seriously if you pay money to go to an event you ditch the que no matter what at the start of it. I rarely drink but surely you prioritise the event over food and drink. Why would you miss half the event to spend a fortune on warm beer and cold chips

The current administration is hell bent on running the stadium. Here's hoping they do the fixes before they are out in September and some other useless people have a go

 

[pjennings]

So Energy Australia pays for original screen for the stadium and it becomes a Council asset, the Council then bills us for the original screen and threatens to shut us out of the stadium - this despite that it is owned by them. We pay up full price for an old screen. We offer to pay for two larger screens but are rebuffed by the Council saying they can handle it and now they look to only be looking at one screen while blaming the Mariners for their debacle.

Who is this administrator serving? I can't figure it out. Developers don't like the administrator, ratepayers don't like him, council workers don't like him.

 

[pjennings]

Just on your comments about Kennedy versus Ivan.

Statistically the best two keepers in the league have been Maty and Mitch. After that there is a group headed by Danny of Theo, Eugene, Thomas, Covic & Vedran that have been very good. Then there is a group headed by Tando of Ben, Birighitti and Bouzanis that have performed steadily.

I've been everywhere Reddy then fronts a group of Redmayne, Moss, Pasfield, Ivan, Jack Duncan and finally Izzo.

Statistics don't prove everything - Izzo is not the worst keeper in that list. However, the only keeper that has performed better at Newcastle than Kennedy is Covic and Ben is a much better performed keeper over many more games than Ivan. My biggest concern over him as a backup keeper is that he didn't play last year and some of the mooted # 1 keepers have also been injured.

Cup gain and quality signings. Spanking WSW in 18's and 20's
When's the monthly pod due good times need good entertainment

 

[Wombat]

Hey Al
We were due to do one tomorrow the 1st, however we're going to wait until after the FFA Cup game.
So it'll be next Tuesday the 8th.

Great wins by our 18s and 20s on the weekend.

Great stuff yeah makes sense to wait till after the game.

I went and watched the 20's and saw last 5 mins of 18's. WSW very disappointing for a club of there size. They should have 5 solid teams at every age group.

Some cracking goals but you won't see better than that bomb before half time.

Dominant performance WSW barely looked likely.

Guessing that the next show will be a record breaker in whay you guys will be discussing.
Quite a bit has happened since last broadcast & then the FFA cup V Blacktown on top.
May be a late night..........Or do you record earlier?

I start setting up the gear around 3:30, then we tidy up a run sheet between 4-4:30
Interviews usually start between 4:30-5:30, with the rest of the show is recorded around that.

Depending on what we're discussing and who we're interviewing the show could be recorded completely out of order or totally in order.

We could wrap up anywhere between 7-9.
Editing and uploading could take anywhere between 30 mins to 1 1/2 hours depending if there's anything we need to take out or sections that just drag on. Thankfully the faster internet speeds have quickened the upload process.

I think the latest finish I've had is around 11:30pm.

 

[Wombat]

Its a great effort and very much appreciated.
