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!

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.
It's basic failures to secure upcoming players like this that has me disillusioned with the club!We could have had Ross Barkley for 15 mill GBP. He would have been the best player in the A League by a mile and won back his England spot. We would have sold him for a huge profit to China or back to the UK after he helped us win the League.
You missed that opportunity Mike
Is that still a thing?
Really? Wow.
He was electric during the FFA Cup and started the season as a shining light for the Roar when they were pretty dismal. His form dropped quite a bit though and he missed some very get able shots and was a bit selfish at times, the Roar had a massive injury crisis at the time however so he can be forgiven for struggling when he was surrounded by mostly unfit or inexperienced team mates. He always looked uncomfortable on the wing and seemed to always want to cut inside but his crossing was mostly good when it got down to it. He's definitely not a winger so if we've brought him in to lead the line I would say he will thrive, as he is very good at making space with his runs.
Well with those 2 lines on his bi he'll fit in perfectly. Of course we've seen how well that turns out.
That's f**ked. Doesn't sound like the club is at fault but would they normally release without speaking to the player and trying to get them to stay?
Shouldn’t that read ‘pay’ Bingham’s agent?Could be quite a few forum members who might have decided to play Bingham’s agent
Melling
Melling was signed before Ascroft’s departure was announced, so my understanding was he was the 23rd squad member at that point.
Yes but given how long Ascroft has been off the scene, you'd assume the club only signed Melling knowing Ascroft's transfer was imminent.
