    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!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join 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.

What the f**k happened there?? Assuming the P+ subs are based on A-League club membership numbers, the APL should have had an idea what those were. Sounds like it came in well short. Cross your fingers and hope everything works out isn't a strategy.

Now it’s getting spicy

Funding shortfall because the APL didn’t hit P+ subscription targets. Nevermind that they have done one of the poorest app roll outs I’ve seen and done themselves zero favours with fans.
This just gets worse and worse and worse, I’m genuinely extremely concerned about the end game with this mob in charge.

Probably why P- didn’t want to give out the freebies with the memberships because they are the only ones watching P-

I have waited for a while reading other posts and working out why I am feeling totally pissed off by one crap decision before posting myself.

Being realistic, those in power are selling a product, not a sport.
Fair 'nuff, it is the way of the world.
But since the formation of the A-League I have seen decisions that have damaged our game and the promise of the A- League competition, " the product", by dumb decisions.

Lowey refusing to have an independent board despite Crawford.
Emasculation of the salary cap.
Expansion teams that are plastic.
The treatment of active support being treated like terrorists.
The “big one” VAR. Probably at the demand of the gambling industry, creating more problems than it was meant to solve and destroying match day experience.
The breakaway from the FFA by the A-League with the promise of blue skies, but copping more of the same bullshit.
The frightful waste of money and garbage that is Keepup.

The latest decision may not be the worst, even though it has re-opened a significant sore for any Mariners fan, but it is a the end of a long of crap decisions that we fans have had to swallow with no indication to expect different in the future. The lies, the self interest and total incompetence of those in charge has made me realise that there is f**k all chance for the “Sleeping Giant” in this country.

While I am not blaming my club, like other club supporters, I am wondering whether I can spend more of my hard earned, and even more significantly, my emotional capital on this league.

So we're the only club that has "won" the right to host a "grand final" and got shafted despite this c**t of a decision. Why is it that everyone is walking out now and not for the last 13yrs?

Doesn't make sense to me............

We aren't the only club. Wanderers won the right in 2013.
