If Hyundai A-League points were distributed at half-time, it’s fair to say Central Coast Mariners would be in a far stronger position than they are right now.
It’s been another tumultuous campaign for the Gosford club, languishing eight-points adrift at the bottom of the ladder with just one win from 20 matches in 2018/19.
But the Mariners’ plight could be far better if they could finish games as strong as they start them.
Mike Mulvey’s men have led at the break in six of their last 10 Hyundai A-League matches.
And they have only managed to win one of the last nine games where they have taken an advantage to the break.
A big reason behind the Mariners’ late fadeouts is their inability to keep the opposition out.
They have conceded a league-high 48 gals this campaign and will be hoping to avoid conceding 50 goals in a season for the fourth time, more than any other club.
Central Coast can at least draw on the fact they are unbeaten in their last four Hyundai A-League home games against Saturday night’s opponents Wellington Phoenix.
But the sixth-placed Phoenix have won five of their last eight games between the two clubs at all venues, while Mark Rudan’s men have lost just one of their last six games on the road.
They’ll be desperate for all three points at Central Coast Stadium in this one to give themselves some breathing space from the fast-finishing Newcastle Jets.

Central Coast Mariners’ A-League future could hinge on taking over Central Coast Stadium
MARCH 08, 2019A piece of paper pinned up in the offices of Central Coast Council could hold the key to the future of the Mariners, and whether the A-League will continue to have a team in Gosford.
A-League bosses have warned the council that without a hugely improved stadium deal for the Mariners, their future on the Coast can’t be guaranteed.
Now there are hopes that the way could be opened for the club to achieve its long-sought dream of taking over the management rights of the stadium — something that one insider described as a “gamechanger” for the struggling side, who host Wellington at Central coast Stadium tonight.
The piece of paper in question is a policy on public display that would allow Central Coast Council to consider unsolicited tenders — in other words, allow a body like the Mariners to make a proposal about taking over the stadium, with rules in place to have it evaluated, debated, and hopefully passed.
The Central Coast Mariners are hoping to take over management of Central Coast Stadium.
It means that the club is hoping to be able to open talks next month over taking over the stadium, where declining investment has started to be rather too obvious — not least in the quality of the pitch which has slipped from one of the best in the A-League to one of the worst.
In the background are stark warnings from Football Federation Australia to the council that getting better stadium deals is a major priority for the governing body, and the Central Coast’s is one of the first.
Without a greatly improved agreement, Council has been told, no guarantees can be made about the club’s future. With disappointed A-League bidders still waiting in the wings, the threat is serious.
It costs the club some $50k to put on a game but they get precious little of the income beyond ticket sales.
Assuming the management rights would not only allow the Mariners to bank income streams such as food and beverage, they could also stage events out of season to pay for the much-needed investment.
On the field the Mariners have become a rather pitiful joke, but with a new board of directors in place there is the promise of more investment.
The spotlight is likely to fall heavily on coach Mike Mulvey after a season officially the second worst in the history of the A-League, culminating in the captain being banned for abusing a referee and a senior player being dropped for breaking a team no-alcohol policy.

Meantime, the club offered $5 tickets yesterday in a 5 hour flash sale, desperate for a decent crowd. 3 of us platinum members for several years now will not be there tomorrow night or for that matter ever again. Charlesworth is a business man and his currrent business is selling off Mariners. Screw you Charlesworth and what a damn sorry day it was when you entered the picture!

I wondered if the $5 tickets would effect people this way

I did wonder how successful this would be - when they extended the offer by an hour ‘due to popular demand’, I wondered if they had not actually met target.

Ole's at the wheel, most definitely. But aiding the navigation is Mike Phelan.
Having spent five years as Sir Alex Ferguson's assistant, Phelan possesses the Manchester United roadmap and is once again bringing an approach that complements his manager in reinstalling a winning psyche and lifting the atmosphere at the club.
That much can be seen by his Twitter account, in which information about coaching is punctuated with disarming humour.

I'm sure the same happened with memberships too. Extended deadline, that is.
I can see how you would feel taken for granted and screwed over by the cheap pricing but assuming it’s a one off what else can the club do to increase their attendance in the short term? They did the team tickets and still pulled poor crowds and if they do nothing they’re headed for their worst ever crowds.
Perhaps they should be offering members a further discount next season or be doing more to give extra value for them. I’m not sure whether that’s something like a draw to upgrade people to a catered corporate box for a game each home game or more off the field functions for members but there’s options to make long suffering members feel a bit more appreciated.
Yeah I agree the club needs to try this as the crowd is going to be woeful and frankly that’s the going rate for the product right now.
They aren’t getting your premium seats they are getting GA so those that bought the more expensive seats it’s not like for like.
Also look at it like a share. You bought high and now it’s worth a lit less. Had the season been a success every one would want your premium seats for more.
Also over a season if someone bought a ticket from Ticketek every week instead of being a member and got this week at $5 they probably still paying more than a member on average over the season.
I’d be more pissed about the seasons performances than $5 desperation seat give aways
