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.
OT- is there a lower level of Godwin's Law that applies when people invoke Orwell?
Read the book ... one of the farm animals starting working [not too sure if working is the right word] ... any old how he gets heaps of other animals telling him how bad he is...then when successful everyone wants part of the pie ...
I am sure you are very well aware of the tale... by George I am sure sure you know the tale....
Worth comparing what other Clubs are offering for their 'general admission' membership:
Adelaide - $234
Brisbane - $250 - OK, they proved that they are a good team playing attractive football. But worth that much more than the Mariners? Hmmm.
Mariners - $165 - Great value, considering it includes 4 free bring-a-friend passes, and the 2nd best team in the league last year.
Fold Coast - $230
Heart - $195
Victory - $195
Jets - $110 - Pays to have a multi-millionaire owner
Glory - $200 - Alcohol free area only, otherwise $300
Sydney - Same old, same old. Still a basket case club. No details until August.
Phoenix - OK, We know NZ is a decade behind, but to be still advertising last year's finals tickets? WTF?
Sydney just released details today. Why such a delay? Anyway.
Mariners have "earlybird" pricing, which is a discount if you sign up before August 12, and Sydney have a "loyalty" price, a discount for renewing members, which is pretty cool. I wouldn't see any harm in having both next season - new members earlybird pricing for buying before a certain date and renewing members get a discount even if they renew after that date... mainly because I'm always a bit lazy when it comes to this stuff and leave it to the last minute
Prices for GA are $160 loyalty and $185 for everyone else, and The Cove, where you can apparently experience the game amongst the "best supporter group in the country", for $10 more.
The extra stuff for them is a hat and scarf. As with the Mariners, there is no picture of the stuff in the membership brochure... a bit strange.
Does anone have any idea what the memberships are up too ... a friends mate who knows a girls who works near a players uncle... anyway the story I heard but the person giving the info is questionable ... away they say Mariner memberships are going very well...
