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!

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.
Do we really want the Jets to go down the gurgler?We are not safe ourselves yet and wanting another club,particularly another provincial club,to fall over is not good for the A-League and Australian football.If the Jets fold no more F3 derby and the crowd of supporters they usually bring down.
Reports and rumours theyre both off to WSW
Agree. Players play for coaches these days and coaches are easier to steal apparently.....Im no WSW fan but Jesus that’s weak. Recruit your own team ffs.
SFC has been raiding our pantry since the league began. Even their most successful teams have had a fair CCM representationIm no WSW fan but Jesus that’s weak. Recruit your own team ffs.
I couldn't agree with this statement anymore. I will be amazed if a transfer system isnt in place by 2021/22 season and there are very few against it now - it mainly the mechanics and systems for the whole of game that need to be built and established. A system where all clubs at all levels get rewarded for player develop is vital and will be a key in turning everything around I have no doubt.Thats why we need transfer fees. Football is a money pyramid and money flows down. There is no shame in being a selling club - provided you are being paid.
Clubs will hve an incentive to offer longer contracts to mke other clubs pay for a player.
A club like ours gets another revenue stream by actually getting paid for doingSydney's recruitment
Yep. Transfer fees will benefit the entire game as it actually gives clubs a financial incentive to develop youth talent.Thats why we need transfer fees. Football is a money pyramid and money flows down. There is no shame in being a selling club - provided you are being paid.

Regional clubs have to be able to work, if they can’t then a second division has no hope as most major markets have already been tapped to some extent.Need to always back and support the regional clubs. I know some may disagree, but if the Jets go (for whatever reason) count me out supporting the A-League. Rivals are rivals, but it's a double edged sword.... we can't sit and hope they fold when we're in the same boat. mutual respect.
Papas will do well methinks. I would have been ok with him as our last appointment if Staj didn't occur.
The radio silence still leaves me with some hope of a sale. Although the last 5 years keeps the bar very low for hope for me with the club these days, so not holding my breath. But it's what we need. No offence to MC, but we badly need some investment
I am still hopeful of an announcement when all the A-League negotiations are settled.I think we are stuck with Pikey BUT i think he might fund us a little bit better this year. But, the man is a flake so anything could happen, and he might have a wooden spoon fetish!!!!
