I'm not even going to turn on SBS. My family are taking me out for a birthday dinner in which I am far more interested.

Mind you earlier in the day there was this:
They'll throw most of their support behind whatever A-League team is willing to actively promote in the area. From the sounds of it the Smurfs aren't doing that job.

From the back page of today's North Shore Times:
Mariners set sail for north shore
JUNIORS TO PARADE ON THE OVAL
MORE than 1000 juniors will march proudly for their clubs at North Sydney Oval on Friday night.
Picture: GEORGE SALPIGTIDIS Anthony Caceres battles with Rashid Mahazi in a game last season between the Mariners and Victory.
In a special event, the Central Coast Mariners will face Melbourne Victory in the only ALeague match to be played at the community ground this season.
Event marketing co-ordinator Kym Griffen said it was part of the Mariners’ push into the north shore, after the creation of the North Shore Mariners Academy at Northbridge FC.
“This is a real opportunity for the football community to get behind the A-League,” he said.
“We don’t get these events very often at North Sydney Oval, so it’s a great chance for the whole community.
“If we can get lots of people down here, we might get more games here.”
Griffen said the grand parade before the match would be something fun for both the young players involved and the crowd.
“We hope to have about 8000 to 10,000 people in by then, so it will be a real buzz for the kids,” he said.
“There’s about 25 main clubs that make up most of the numbers in the North Shore Football Association. We know that 21 of those will be in the parade.
“There are clubs like Kissing Point who have had to stop getting kids involved because they already had more than 100.”
While the Mariners and Victory are warming up in the middle of the oval, the juniors will march around the edge of the field.
Each club will have its banner flying and the youngsters will be dressed in their club colours.
After the parade, the juniors will watch the match from specially allocated bays. Before the game, fans can enjoy the two food villages outside the ground, plus a variety of activities for children and adults.

Wouldn't it be nice to see this kind of engagement with CCF rather then running from the problem.
Ugh.

I dislike the article, but if I put a dislike emoticon on your post it doesn't discriminate between the article and your posting of it, or something ..

This just makes me feel sick and angry. Our club could be so successful without all this BS. Engage with the community and CCF and everything will be fine.

To be honest I think there's a fair bit of handwaving in this suggestion. Clearly there were/are problems between CCM and CCF, but unless either Stalder/Charlesworth or Darren Sprod come out and make a statement we're not going to know if that relationship is already being worked on.
In any case I think it will be a while before the CCF clubs decide to provide anywhere near the level of support that the NSFA clubs are right now.

So, I guess that the Yellow Army and the Band will be there?

Can you give me a potted history of this CCM/CCF conflict? It's not an ego driven thing, is it?
So there is a minimum of 2000 free tickets (kids +1) right there.

I remember when Charlsworth first took over he bagged out CCF in the media saying they were very poorly run, blah blah blah.
He started off on the wrong foot and it all went down hill from there. Read here:

From memory it actually went back into the Turnbull era, and it wasn't just ego driven - among other things there were conflicts around how CCMA should be run and funded, and there have been issues with returning money to clubs from the Mariners Mates program.
I'm sure there are others here who are closer to CCF clubs who are able to provide more detail though...
Hopefully not but if they are a rendition of The Funeral March would be in order. #SayNoToNSO

We are working on some "things" to take this afternoon.The only chanting I will do is against the idea like last year and hopefully others do the same.We can't force anyone to protest but you'd think most are against the idea.
Highlight of last year was Charlesworth coming into the stand we were in and we all gave him both barrels.Surely he's not dumb enough to come into the stand again.
