    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!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join 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.

If HAL teams were cars...

Maybe I will sound a little biased and I am happy if you have a better suggestion, but here goes:

BRISBANE ROAR= De LOREAN: When it was hot, it was the hottest thing on the road. The question is: will there ever be a repeat, or is it destined to be a one-hit wonder?

GOLD COAST UNITED= YOUR MATES' RICH EUROPEAN UNCLES BUGATTI VEYRON: You don't care how often your mate claims his Uncle owns a Bugatti Veyron. You don't care if his uncle reckons he got it to 400km/h on the Autobahn. You don't care if he apparently f**ked Miss Sweden 2009 in it once. Until you see the car for yourself, your mates' Uncle is just another cashed up bloke who talks a lot of s**t.

NEWCASTLE JETS= A LATE MODEL HOLDEN CLUBSPORT. Sure it's been lowered, had a re-spray, flashy rims fitted and a new exhaust system put in. As good as it looks and sounds from a distance, when you get closer and see the Chevrolet badges on it and the massive Southern Cross sticker on the back, you realise it's still full of bogans.

CENTRAL COAST MARINERS= THE CAR JEREMY CLARKSON PICKS FOR THE TOP GEAR CHALLENGE: Other 'experts' laugh at it and say it'll never last the distance, it may not look very pretty, but more often than not, at the end of the challenge it is still running on all cylinders while more fancied cars are languishing somewhere further back in a haze of oil smoke.

SYDNEY FC= A LATE MODEL ITALIAN SPORTSCAR: It looks stuning, sounds great and when it's fine tuned and running sweet, it's near untouchable. Unfortunately, for every day that happens, it will spend another 3 in at the workshop with a different mechanic trying to fix some other mechanical bug that has sprung up.

MELBOURNE VICTORY= SUBARU WRX: A great car with plenty of titles to it's name, but doesn't change the fact that it's mostly driven by wankers.

MELBOURNE HEART= PROTON: Want to be as big as Subaru. Have some way to go yet.

ADELAIDE UNITED= A NISSAN GTR: Bigger in Asia than it is here, where many just dismiss it as a car that is useless for Aussie roads and will easily get creamed by the Monaro's and GT Falcons of the world.

PERTH GLORY= MY COUSINS' OLD NISSAN 200SX= It's purple and it was big in the 90's. Not so much anymore.

WELLINGTON PHOENIX= A VW BEETLE: Has a band of loyal followers, apart from that it is seen as mediocre and a little but quaint.
