Mariners sell supporters short.... again

[marinermick]

But who would play the role of'ceo' now that coonan's heading abroad

QFT

 

[striker]

well after seeing how good we played tonight
I say we move out of Australia
Our only 2 decent games since the new year have been overseas

It's true that Mariners play better away from Gosford..... yep....let's move, but not overseas.... let's get back to North Sydney where the team belongs.

Note: for those who don't remember that far back.... CCM started as NSFC!

 

[Sacko]

If we do have to move a couple of games, why not use NSO especially for the Friday night game. I might even come down from the prawn sandwich seats to have a run on the old Mac Terrace...

 

[striker]

NSO sound great...why didn't I think of that?

How was it a failure at both ends?

Lots of questions very few responses from the club.

Well at our end - the hard questions didn't get asked. Always easier to mouth off on the forum for effect, than to actually ask a hard question.

Who says anything about hard questions?

From June 2007 to November 2007 there were 8 questions asked. None of them controversial. All of them required minimal input from the club. The club did not bother to provide one single response.

I find that contemptuous.

I presume the forum administrators had some form of agreement from the club for their participation. What happened?

Yes, there was an agreement, but only that they'd try it out and see how it went. I presume they lost interest or didn't see it as worthwhile.

f**k off. this is not northern spirit, no matter how much *you* want it to be. there are people who used to be at spirit, but there are also people who used to be at perth, sydney united, parramatta, canberra and the breakers. we're not any of those clubs any more than we're spirit.

The Nix have regular talks with the club through Yellow Fever ... But it's controlled to a degree to stop it from becoming ... my chips where only warm on Saturday night and the girl serving was not nice to me.

No Dibo - you f**k off!

There is potential for growth if Mariners move back to North Sydney.  It appears they are in a stalemate in the present form and location.  Not that there is anything wrong with Gosford?  - I like coming up there to watch football.. Gosford is a nice place village-like atmosphere but limited potential.

it's the central coast mariners. they were established in 2004 as a regional team to participate in the a-league.

they weren't given a licence to hang around for a couple of years and piss off to north sydney, parramatta or anywhere else. they were given a licence to make gosford work. the fact that no other national league team (rhinos aside) plays from the coast was a definite contributing factor.

the FFA has put a lot of effort in up there, the mariners have put a lot of effort in up there, the people of the central coast have been great supporters thus far. if the mariners were to move away from the coast, there would certainly be a backlash. it'd be a spit in the face of everyone who's supported them over the last four years. the central coast would become a dead zone for football. it'd salt the earth.

if there is to be a team at NSO or parramatta, that's fine. the FFA can start one from scratch, not take ours.

[finally retired]

Maybe "hard" questions could be PM'd to the mods for forwarding.

That stops it becoming a whinge fest and allows the club to consider their response

Just a thought?

great idea.......

Spot on Dibo.

I follow the Central Coast Mariners not another souless club in Sydney.

 

[FFC Mariner]

If CCM decide to become the football equivalent of the N Eagles, they will whither and die.

Football is about roots & tribalism. Take that away and it simply will not work.

If they did ever decide to go down that road, count me out

Welcome to 1997!

Two good seasons then what happened?

These comments are pretty insulting the majority of Mariners fans who did not support NS.

When are gooses like you two gunna stop getting misty eyed about old soccer and all that went with it and get with the times. You lot had your go and ended up completely stuffing up the game by about 2002/3. Let the new generation take Football onwards and upwards from here. Where's Paolo for his reply?

I'm struggling to understand why u mentioned me.
Did I miss something?

Thought you represented the new generation of Football supporter? Seem to a leader amongst the younger - what's the correct word? - ultra? movement within the football supporting ranks? My apologies if my assumption is incorrect.

That's the worst post I've seen on this forum yet.....

Agree with that 100%.

If we're going bankrupt and there is no option but move or shut the doors, then fine I suppose they should move at that stage. However, even under those circumstances, I wouldn't be tagging along; it simply wouldn't be my football team anymore.

Does the forum have any member that knows people on the board they could ask ... and get them to post on the CC Hal site what is going on...
