I didn't say it happens, I said people believe it happens.

Maybe just the people who go into the bay
try to join in and sing, try to make a chant, and get told they are shit and they should f**k off.
Maybe it is them who believe it.

And I can see why

Try better chants then lololol

Best chants, not maybe the best songs, but one that get the whole crowd involved, are not liked by many marinators, therefore not used as often as they could be, leaving the crowd out of it, losing the 12th player the home crowd is meant to be.

All good razorback, although I will remember that you called me a wanker and douchebag ;)

Does it really matter to anyone else except the egos of the people starting a chant. If mariners clapclapclap gets the team fired up, all good... Its about creating an atmosphere at the ground.

I doubt the players on the field could give 2 shits what song is being played as long as there is noise. I can see now on Friday as T. Elrich skins Osman, him saying to Hutch "geez I wish they'd sing 'We All Follow a Yellow Football Team' - this iswhy we are playing so shitte"

BS. When was the last time a supporter in the Bay was ridiculed for trying to start a chant (i.e Dickhead! Dickhead!)?

You obviously have no idea about the bay and the problems we are facing right now attracting numbers.

Its in fact the complete opposite in terms of arrogance and that the Marinators have this attitude. Sadly, and its a part of this "too-cool" Coastie attitude that our own fans who sit in the bays adjacent and nearby us are more than eager to dish out criticism about us and call us a pack of wankers when in fact its their arrogance and pride which blinds them and holds them back from actually singing, or actively supporting the Mariners.

If you dont like the Marinators attitudes FINE. Just remember you dont have to become a Marinator to stand in the bay and sing for the Mariners - Tell your rad mates that when youre sitting in Bay 8 or whatever dishing out calls against us.

he Central Coast Mariners have been dealt a pair of injury blows to an already depleted squad ahead of tomorrows blockbuster derby clash at Bluetongue Stadium against the Newcastle Jets, but remain committed and focused towards what would be a famous Hyundai A-League triumph.

Defenders Nigel Boogaard and Andrew Clark have been ruled out with concussion and shoulder concerns respectively, adding to a casualty ward that also includes long-term sufferers Ahmad Elrich and Dean Heffernan.

Furthermore, Andre Gumprecht and Greg Owens are each short of the condition required for the frenetic pace of an F3 derby, but will take further steps on their respective roads to regaining full match fitness when appearing for the Mariners National Youth League (NYL) side in the curtain raiser to tomorrows fixture.

New signing Andrea Merenda is sweating on receiving an international clearance from his Italian homeland in order to join Gumprecht and Owens in the first ever NYL F3 derby, while Qantas Young Socceroos shot stopper Andrew Redmayne is a confirmed non-starter due to his involvement with Australias qualification quest for the 2009 FIFA Under-20 World Cup.

To compensate for the Mariners lengthy absentees list, David DApuzzo and Nik Mrdja have been drafted into the yellow and navy line up, while Matthew Nash will deputize for incumbent custodian Danny Vukovic.

Despite being faced with considerable adversity, the Mariners will still be represented by a line up brimming with F3 derby experience, including four players John Hutchinson, Mrdja, Matthew Osman and Alex Wilkinson that contributed to the first ever fixture between the Mariners and the Jets over three years ago.

"Last week was a poor performance, weve said it and we have to move on, its a short turnaround this week and the intensity at training has been fantastic," said Mariners Football Manager Lawrie McKinna.

"Everyone is switched on and working very hard, were going to be without Andrew Clark and Nigel Boogaard but weve got able bodies to come in its going to be a big night at Bluetongue Stadium."

The F3 derby perhaps the fiercest derby battle in the Hyundai A-League, brings together the Hyundai A-Leagues only two regionally based clubs, both of which reside on the east coast of Australia at home grounds that sit within 80 kilometres of each other.

Furthest north are the Newcastle Jets, who represent the vast Hunter region of northern New South Wales.

Approximately a one-hour drive south of Newcastle begins the Central Coast an idyllic ninety-kilometre stretch that hugs the east coast of Australia and is home to the Mariners the regions only representation to compete in a nation wide sporting competition.

The Mariners first ever competitive fixture was against the Jets and virtually every match up between the two clubs that has ensued has been history making in some sense.

The first time the Mariners recorded a five-figure home attendance was on 31 December 2005 when the Jets suffered a 4-1 defeat at Bluetongue Stadium in front of 11,612 spectators.

Two seasons further on, the Mariners recorded their largest ever crowd, 19,238, in a regular season match against their northern rivals.

Less than one month later, the Mariners hoisted the full house sign at Bluetongue Stadium for the first time ever when hosting the Jets in a Major Semi Final 2nd Leg blockbuster.

Tomorrows match between the Mariners and the Jets marks the eighteenth occasion the two sides have met in all competitive fixtures the most times that any two Hyundai A-League opponents have met each other.

Before the Mariners unforgettable 3-0 triumph over the Jets at Bluetongue Stadium in the Major Semi Final 2nd Leg match up of last seasons Hyundai A-League Finals Series, Newcastle had enjoyed a lengthy purple patch of F3 derby form that saw the Mariners winless in Hyundai A-League derby clashes for some two years.

In total, the Jets have claimed six derby wins in response to five Mariners triumphs and there have been six draws between the two sides.

The Mariners have netted 17 goals in such time, while the Jets have scored 17 goals of their own.

Should the Mariners claim all three points on Friday, they will claim a regular season Hyundai A-League win over the Jets for the first time since New Years Eve 2005, which is the solitary occasion the yellow and navy have claimed east coast bragging rights in a non-Finals Series or pre-season competition fixture.

"The Jets are always hard, it doesnt matter if theyre struggling or not, for a local derby form goes out the window, its passionate, its physical and its going to be a hard game," said McKinna.

"In three and a half years the F3 derby has definitely grown, we always had passion on the park, but I think this is the one game where our Members and supporters want the bragging rights."
