Mariners sell supporters short.... again

[Arabmariner]

and thats the space the CCM need to own - the way you do that is by making it true.

ps - notice the picture of Scumford Bridge when it was still a dog track and the 20 pound note with Cashleys face on it? The hatred never dies.

I did notice.

And the part about how we used to pay the players wages but we don't anymore.

EXCELLENT post FFC, thanx for posting the video link.

Maybe you could email it to Lyall as a reminder why he's in this business and not merchant banking, and to Lawrie so he can show the squad what we expect of them as players and why we get so bloody annoyed when things don't go so well or we feel betrayed.

 

[FFC Mariner]

I suspect Lawrie gets it already...............

Whilst a bit long, the club has clearly tried to sell its point of differentiation (or USP) and yes, I found the bit about the wages depressing too.

Excellent post FFC.

I think Lawrie gets it too.

That's a beauty. Made my day - thanks FFC M!

That's exactly the feeling I got at the Breakers and now get at CCM. And it's exactly the feeling missing from that Scum cardboard club up the road.

That bit about the walk up the steps and looking down on the emerald green pitch reminds me very much of the thrill I got as a 10 year old going to Nottingham Forest matches. Magical.

The video captured the essence of what attending a match in the flesh is all about. Foxtel may be convenient, but you miss so much of the nuances and emotions by not being there.

'Live life - go to the match' just about sums it up for me, and Fulham have nailed it.

There is a similar non-related attempt made by SkyTV a while ago to capture the 'football religion' that ain't bad either, but not as good as the the Fulham effort:

Out of the CCLC, across the road, up the steps and seeing the pitch....................what its all about and cant be replicated any other way than actually being there yourself

Absolutley brilliant Mr T.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Mr Celery, that 3rd one is an absolute rippper............there's always next season

On another note. The Blue Tongue pitch is looking quite good. Hopefully the upcoming league game won't turn it back into a paddock.

Words are fine. Pity they are voiced by one of the most non-genuine people around. Harper never practiced at the Breakers what he's preaching here. Two-faced c**t.

When a team dies in the grip of a powerful rage,a curse is left behind ............the bitter never forgive, never forget.............THE GRUDGE.

It's probably close to 10 years since the Breakers last played, Mr. Celery.... :

I am sure that Harper learnt from that debacle, and while I reckon he's an asshole of a commentator, he has written books and been quite an advocate for Football since that horrible time.
