#CCMvWSW SOLD OUT!

Central Coast Mariners wish to advise the Club’s Hyundai A-League opener against Western Sydney Wanderers at Bluetongue Stadium this afternoon is now officially sold out.

The final available on-sale tickets for the round 1 encounter were purchased at 10:10am this morning.

As of late Friday afternoon, the Mariners also had a record 5,448 Members signed up for the Club’s Hyundai A-League Championship defence.

The Mariners originally targeted 5,000 Members for the 2013/14 campaign – a 45 per cent increase on the Club’s previous best Member figure set last season.

Central Coast Mariners Group General Manager, Mr Peter Turnbull, said the strong Member numbers and round 1 attendance will help the Club get the 2013/14 season off to a strong start off the pitch.

“The Club is aiming for a crowd average of over 12,000 fans per match this season and certainly these early season metrics will help us reach that goal,” Mr Turnbull said.

“There is a great amount of enthusiasm about this season’s competition, and as defending Champions we’re excited by the prospect of opening the campaign with the first sold out match of the Hyundai A-League.”

“We encourage anyone considering becoming a Member to contact the Club next week to ensure they don’t miss any of the 12 other huge home games we have at Bluetongue Stadium this season.”

Kick-off in the Hyundai A-League round 1 encounter between Central Coast Mariners and Western Sydney Wanderers this afternoon is at 5:30pm.

Thinking I'll drag my young 'un down to bay 15 so he gets a sense of it... His mum usually prefers the under cover option of bay 2 but she's otherwise engaged, hopefully I can exercise some influence... can't wait!

Figuring that, win or lose, we'll at least be dryer than last time, so it's already an improvement ;-)

Good one Recky, you even got the score right.

I thought Storm had a great game and was also impressed with Fitzy, especially first half. Flores didn't look 100% fit and Zac was off the pace a little but overall a terrific game for this time of the season. It was a much better game than the Friday night game IMHO. Hoping Flores came off as a precaution and no injuries came out of the game.

Flores apparently was just cramp. Zac has had calf stiffness all week and struggled a bit later in the game before being replace. Matt Simon's first competitive game in 15 months.

I think the boys did pretty well. As well as the two you mentioned I thought Pasfield made some great saves. He just needs to be a bot more comfortable with the ball at feet. The golden boot is yet to come back and I think we missed Wee-Mac a lot. His first thought seems to be to go forward and we seem to create more with him on the field.
