Mariners 2012 AFC Champions League megathread

Chris Payne??

He's been released by GVE. He is a coast boy. Let Clarky get him fit and see if he is worth picking up for next year.

 

[Muppet]

He has fallen so far it will be interesting to see if he can work his way back. The only thing he can do at this point is head to a Premier League side and try to get some runs on the board again. I just can't see an A League club wanting his services at the moment.

Oh no absolutely I think he has enough ability and potential for Arnie and Clarky to sort him out. I just thought you were hinting that we had already signed him.

Bat me to it!!

Bloody brilliant! I had my fingers crossed this whole time jetstar would pull through.

Flew with them for the Kawasaki game and it was fine, a layover for two hours is nothing when you pay nothing to go there

Chris Payne........apart from the fact that he is a coastie and would be cheap, why bother. Is he any better than Duke?

From an email sent to CCM members today. It's great that those travelling to Tianjin for the first match are being offered free tickets.

The AFC Champions League is quickly approaching and with the team playing so well we are encouraging all our members to get on board for our journey through Asia.

You often hear these British clubs banging on about the financial benefits of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.

Just wondering, are similar benefits to be had for clubs qualifying for the AFC Champions League?

And if so, when do the qualifying clubs receive these financial rewards?

Just asking.

 

[dibo]

Nope, it costs a packet to play. Costs to fly around, costs to put up visiting teams, crowds are lower. Unless you get some great corporate support, it's a guaranteed money pit.

 

[greenpoint]

Bugger! I was hoping that something good would come out of it, apart from the trips-of-a-lifetime that it affords the supporters.

 

[shipwreck]

Hasn't it all changed now so that the afc pays for everything??

Surely this would bankrupt the mariners and we would have to resign from the competition....

 

[Revilo]

Bought tickets to Japan through Jetstar's sales, return flight for $500.

Forgot the Mariners are playing a Japanese team. The day we fly out of Japan is the day the Mariners play in Japan. FFFFUUUUUUUU
