    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!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    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.

Has anyone seen this guy while he has been trialling or know anything about him. He seems to have had a bad run with injuries. He is listed a SU as a midfielder equally competent in defence.

We haven't had a middie that can tackle since Jedi.

I guess Spencer and Macca could tackle but could't do anything else.

How many games did he play for SU?  If its more than a few then he should be a cut above most of our existing squad.

Sounds like he might be a blessing as we know LM doesn't mind playing Middies at fullback.

Name: Nicky Travis
Nationality: English
Date of Birth: 12/03/1987
Height: 6' 0" (183cm)
Weight: 12st 1lbs (76.73kg)
Previous 
Clubs: Chesterfield (loan)
Position:  Midfielder
 
Strong, quick and athletic, local lad Nick has progressed through the Academy, and has been used in a variety of roles during his time with the Club.

He is equally competent in midfield or in defence and has chipped in with goals at crucial times, including in the victories over Manchester United and Newcastle United in the Premier Reserve League in the 2006-2007 campaign.

He has been plagued by injuries in recent times, including the 2007/08 season when a loan move to Chesterfield was cut short before he could make his Football League debut

Sounds like another waste of money sat on the sidelines.

doig is in the same boat as well

some of these players can turn out to be gems as the a-league is less strenuous to the english leagues

both craig moore and danny tiatto were chalkies until they came to the a-league

[/quote]that seems true of players whos bodies cant stand up to the rigours of 40+ games per season which Moore and Tiatto are of that category, but from what i understand these guys havent strung many games together? We play fewer games yes but the style of football is still very physical here

Looked very good against Sydney FC! His 10 minutes included some pinpoint passes opening up the FC defense.
I think he will be a very good signing for the club and might be a little to good for many others in this league.

Gee really, did he show that much promise in such a short time on the field? That's good to hear about.
