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.

I'm tired and a bit dumb but please explain? Dolan as in Dole....n?
I think the league has moved past him much like the players who played at the start. He really struggled at Nix with some quality players.good news for us
(mixed bag - i like Ernie, and think he is decent, but not great)
They aren't committed to the chilean for this season, they said wouldn't even be possible till January and then if a spot was available. So don't bank on them getting one. Bit like our Everton connectionThe scum have 14 signed including 3 visa players and zero goalkeepers. They are also committed to a Chilean visa player and a Chinese visa player so the choices for marquees are constrained by the owners choices..
That means they have 7 Australian spots to fill including at least 2 keepers. I cannot see them turning around enough to make top 6.
Merrick, who was appointed as the club’s new head coach on Tuesday, has run an eye over the A-League squad with Lawrie McKinna and football operations manager Joel Griffiths.
The result is that versatile midfielder Ben Kantarovski is the only man left standing out of 10 players coming off contract, although teenage striker Kristian Brymora has been offered a scholarship.
It is understood popular striker Labinot Haliti may be offered an off-field role with the club, but local product Andrew Hoole, defender Daniel Mullen, visa player Mateo Poljak, Danish striker Morten Nordstrand, back-up keeper Tomislav Arcaba and Chinese attacker Ma Leilei will not return.
Goalkeeper Ben Kennedy, on the comeback trail from a ruptured Achilles, agreed to terms with the Central Coast Mariners in March, but that deal has not yet been finalised.
Neither towering young Queensland striker Harry Sawyer, who has reached the end of his scholarship deal, nor former Adelaide NPL player Joel Allwright, who is on a short-term contract, are in the club’s plans for next season'
