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.
What is it with this club and active support? We are not the worst supported team ( although we have it a nudge towards the end of last year) but our active has always been really poorly attended (save the few years of the marinators) guarantee this iteration will also be poorly attended especially seeing its started off sooooo well.
We were last year. Nix lifted their average by a few thousand and ours dropped by 1500 to a level that's the worst since Gold Coast were dropped. Lots of work to do on and off the pitch to get those numbers back.We are not the worst supported team
The boys who put the blood sweat and tears into YA don’t want to be represented by guys who don’t want to get there approval.I don't understand the idea of a name change. Seems like they are doing the same stuff anyway, same merch with same slogans, so what's the difference?
And I don't want to see the YA name end up getting slagged like the way Marinators went. The Marinators situation was a bit different but we've already seen some comments that aren't great.
Pete, Jimmy, etc did a great job over the years, it's not easy getting excited and cheering when we're getting flogged every week.
If we start winning again, get the crowds and excitement back, which brings more people into 16, more chanting and stuff, will CC16 claim that as a win?
One time when we were playing U10s Peter tackled a guy so hard his intestines came out. Peter grabbed the intestines and used them to lasoo a stray dog. Everything thought it was pretty cool how Peter did that because the council rangers were on strike at the time but then Peter strangled the dog to death with the intestines and yelled ‘JOHN HOWARD IS A GOOD PRIME MINISTER’.
If that’s what he was like at 10. I can only imagine what a dick he is now.
No, youse are the gooses!I saw a prominent former NSL and A-League coach call him a "gooses" once. Once we all laughed at the poor grammar of this coach we realised he was not far off the mark.
No, youse are the gooses!
It’s probably like you Adz if you were to stop doing the forum for us would you want a say in the hand over etc or just let someone go for broke piggy backing off your hard work and reputation?
Never played an instrument in my life but can appreciate those that can play one... or do I need to play one to like the band?Sorry Manny, what instrument did you play?
A lot of active people clearly also don’t like the band. I understand that. I don’t think I would if I was in there. Pretty hard not to be at cross purposes with the vocal tradition of active support. Band would need to take a serious backseat and be content just to work in to support the vocals. Anything else could only ever diminish the core nature of how an active support functions.
A lot of general spectators clearly do love the band though. And it’s good to have some serious volume on our side at times. Match through works well. Perhaps a tune for when we’re heaping pressure on teams and on the front foot. And similarly one to lift when under the pump. Which would be signalled by the bay - call and response style.
But keeping their involvement mostly seperate seems necessary.
The fluteSorry Manny, what instrument did you play?
