We're talking to Matt Nash at 5-30 if you have any questions, get them in before 5-25.
How did you get the job with so little first team experience?
Is it a Sven Erikkson type scenario?
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.

Paolo will be on today's show, if you have any questions get them in and we'll try to ask them.
Obviously Paulo cannot provide details, but is it possible to ask about retention plans? I'd love to be re-assured that negotiations are well under way with the players who we want to retain. Are there any announcements imminent?
To me this is key. Paulo inherited (arguably) a roster that would have been seen as the weakest in the league, and has done wonders with it. Several of our players have shone, and I for one would be comforted knowing that all efforts are being made to keep these chaps as Mariners...
Just to clarify, should I be hearing it during the walk on? But that's where they're playing bloody thunderstruck? And it's being played earlier? Later? When is the bay singing it?
Great episode. Think you guys are going from strength to strength.
On the anthem... I like it for us and think you're right that we obviously need to get behind it regardless. I would have been joining in but in bay 4 (and there's a fair few here who will) but honestly had no idea it was even being sung. Not by you guys or over the PA system.
You know YNWA is coming by the stand up with your scarf. It also compels people to join in I think, like standing for anthems, hand on heart, kind of thing. Are you guys doing a similar thing already?

The tradition derives from battle songs for marching, forming ranks or shield walls. No point playing it mid battle or worse while the troops are doing their morning poo and still pulling their breeches on.
Timing matters. It should fire up the players and fans alike, not be background music while Taveres gets his ankle strapped and storm finishes taking a dump.
A visual cue would possibly help the rest of us - as an example the wave to the east and western sides respectively that the bay does before the who do we sing for call and response works a treat. (Not saying I want a wave here) but would be good to at least know it's happening until we have a decent PA system and its coordinated in with active support properly - which is obviously a must.
Stadium desperately needs a new PA system. Fingers crossed they give the Mariners a chance to sort out this stuff soon in the form of a new stadium arrangement. We have one of the most valuable and coveted sports products in Australia in having a HAL side there - but be it stadium management or council support - whoever is responsible, they are certainly not servicing it anywhere near its optimal level.
And there is no bigger or more regular event on the coast than the mariners.
Worst anthem ever
Just glad you can't hear it over our non existent PA
Can't take my eyes off of you on the other hand.....
Two? Was sure you were made of firmer stool...I mean shite...I mean stuff... ahh shit! You know what I mean.Too many poo references for my liking

Yep, after tonight's Melbourne Derby, Morrow is officially on the "don't take anything he says seriously" list, and the words "football genius" shall never be mentioned in the same sentence as Morrow ever again. dot dot dot dotWe never take anything he says seriously.
