    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!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    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.

Gosford Public School's Big "GO MARINERS" Banner...

Maybe we can work on our new venue, Erina High School, having a Mariners Banner. Go Mariners!!!

Would be kinda pointless. The reason this is a travesty is that the massive banner was seen by everyone that passes Bluetongue stadium over the bridge and was in a prime location in the centre of Gosford.

Who cares.

The Bears are well down the list on expansion teams for the NRL. Let them have a banner. Its not going to help them much.

Also since when is the centre of Gosford "a prime location". More people would pass Erina High would they not?

I concur. It would be a very poor strategic decision for the NRL to place a team up here, without removing one from Sydney. The NRL's vision would be to be the premier sporting code in the country or something along the lines of this. Expanding 50kms up the road, whilst having a heavily diluted Sydney market and having no presence West of Penrith would go against everything their Management has built in the course of their tenure. Surely they cannot be that inept?

On second thought.....

It's a prime location in Gosford, the home ground and home city of our club. There are Mariners flags on the bridge. It is OUR territory. To have one of a central figure representing us replaced by an NRL banner in OUR territory when they're not even a club is disgusting.

If Turnbull doesn't get things sorted we might wind up with no teams in Gosford of any sort.

That's the second thing I've read today from people inferring things are a lot worse than what Peter Turnbull said a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, both comments sound like informed comment - though they could equally be idle speculation.

Please tell me it is only speculation!!

There is some people on this forum that if they say something heavy its not done lightly.

Obviously We are in a bit of trouble with needing to take an advance on the money from FFA. That makes for worrying signs leading into a year where our outlay will be higher than normal.

I'm praying for Turnball to pull this off.
