With Paul Anderson for the Huge announcement this morning of the Socceroos having their pre World Cup training camp at central coast stadium 9th to 22nd May prior to the farewell game on the 26th May at ANZ Stadium. The boys will be staying at Terrigal. Massive exposure for Gosford and the central coast.

Fantastic news for the Coast and the Mariners, great exposure!

So is this the FFA utilising the COE I assume? Do Mariners get paid for this?

Training camp will be at Central Coast Stadium, not COE.

. only seems logical considering how many of the squad have called the coast home

You can view the ground from the leagues club carpark or those nice units over looking the ground if they don't open her up but I'm sure if you sniff around you could watch something.

At the open training session we need to make a sign that says:

"Welcome home, Jedi, Matty, Tommy, Wilko"

Wouldn't it be funny if the Socceroos chose "Bluetongue" over the CoE because they got a cheaper deal
Well, Mr Charlesworth, you really should get a hurry on and build that nice Travelodge Hotel (what ever happened to that??);
You would hope, even for the Socceroos sake, they would put some variety into the schedule and train at the CoE.

The hotel was full steam ahead last time I was there a month ago

Lets organise for the Socceroos to get an East Gosford Thai Massage session to help them wind down after their training sessions.

Really? Anyone know the completion date?

Taking off my evil, evil hat for a moment ( I appreciate the kind words BG) it may be that the CoE is not available as further work will be in progress during the off season. Including, thanks here for the update Style, work on the hotel.
I still think the Socceroos will pay a visit; especially the Soccer5s: a team of Ryan, Wilko, Jedi, Ollie and Tommy should go alright

. i had heard that it was on hold (but i dunno) ... and thought it was the aquatic centre and offices that were full steam ahead. are they both underway?

I think you will find there are limited football grounds in this country in winter.

CCS (Central Coast Stadium) & probably AU (not sure about Glory) are the only football only grounds that I know of not being dug up every week in June by 100kg islanders.

As your final farewell game is in Sydney you would want to be close to Sydney for the lead in. Not compulsory as they could have trained at Adelaide & flew over for the game.

Would the COE, Sydney united & any other boutique football ground be hosting the State league?

Untouched quality pitch - Great score for the coast & the boys will certainly know there way around

Most other football grounds (any code) will be in use pretty heavily.

On the NPL grounds in particular, A lot of the NPL NSW grounds now are synthetic - APIA, Blacktown City, Blacktown Spartans, Manly Utd, Sutherland and Sydney Utd all play on synthetic and most of the players will basically have prohibitions on playing on the stuff because it's harder on the body than grass.
