Mariners vs Wellington at NSO - Game Talk

[midfielder]

We are going to play a community round at North Sydney Oval next season

 

[pjennings]

Visiting an old home - not going home!! We already have 2 homes Fortress BlueTongue and the COE

 

[FFC Mariner]

Closer than Geelong I suppose......

 

[Atomic]

Going home? NO!!!! Losing a home game? YES!!!

 

[Jesus]

not losing a home game it is community round, go gaining a game

 

[pjennings]

not losing a home game it is community round, go gaining a game

Yes - an extra game with easy access is a bonus. If the club is serious about engaging the north of Sydney then this should be where we host any community round we get. I'd also like to add a pre-season game at Chatswood Oval to go with the Christie Park and Knox games.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Brookvale Oval makes sense if we want to engage the Chino wearers

 

[pjennings]

I gather that being at NSO that there will be a fairly hard cricket square in the middle. Can any ex Northern Spirit supporters comment on how suitable it is as a football pitch and how the pitch is aligned on the oval.

drop in pitchs arn't they ?

 

[Blackadder]

Correct..drop in pitches, the surface won't be a issue.
Pitch is aligned East/West
Great to see the Mariners finally making a substantial move to connect with the Northern Sydney area.
Also as a former Northern Spirit FC supporter, somewhat of a sentimental return home

 

[MagpieMariner]

Be a good way to pick up some North Sydney Central Coast Bears supporters. They haven't got a team to support or a competition to play in so they might as well come with us while they're waiting.

 

[Wombat]

I'm keen.
I spent many a Sunday at Bear park watching Florimo show his brilliance.
Lovely ground, great pub opposite.

cromer park is better they've just gotten an all wether playing surface & + we played sydney fc in the nyl however it's alot smaller than brookvale oval

 

[sydmariner]

drop in pitchs arn't they ?

yes i can it's a drop-in pitch so it shouldn't have any effect, they play rugby on it in the winter & besides most of the cricket is played @ the scg & anz stadium

p.s. my dad used 2 do the scoreboard 4 northern spirit games @ nso & pittwater rugby park

the problem with chatswood oval is that there's no floodlights so it would have 2 b played early in the day & besides the ground is s**t anyway during the week people walk there dog's on it & use it as a normal park

 

[sydmariner]

Going home? NO!!!! Losing a home game? YES!!!

incase u forgot this is the SPIRITual home of the club the mariners were born from the old northern spirit just ask arnie,mossey,lawrie & hutcho

. wellington

 

[true believer]

saw western suburbs play there a few times. i never minded their crowd.
we always had a common enemy in manly . i use to see a couple of guys .
that were bears supporters in sheffield shield finals in the 80's.
the 40 nil chorus before Queensland won the shield was priceless.
that was before melita,norths and wests got sold down the road by murdoch and Co
