moving on, any advance on the article last week?

also, would anyone else like the idea of doing a *preseason* match (not not not not not a league match) against sydney at NSO or something like that? i reckon that would be a whole lot of fun, but i just wanted to see if it was just me.

As long as it counted as a regional match

 

[SNOWMARINER]

I agree. It has to count as a regional match. Helping the FFA is great as long as it does'nt disadvantage memebers in even the slightest way. Just a little residual attitude from the 'lets make Danny the harshest example in FIFA history' judgement.

Steve Eagleton - Budgiewoi

Doesn't say much for Newcastle. A player released from Mariners goes to Jets, while a Jets player goes to a Central Coast Premier League team.

lol.

cessnock is the worst place ive ever been to
nobody should want ppl from their to support this club

The only good thing about Cessnock is the old Cemetery  -I have relatives buried there.

Moving on, as you say, why should we be abandoning ANY home game for the sake of some other syndicate's cause? As many home games at Gosford should be the mantra for the Mariners -pre season or HAL season.

The regional games for the  pre season comp. are the ones to promote the game to some region - maybe western Sydney counts?

i'd be proposing it mostly to increase interest in us south of the hawkesbury but north of the harbour. there are a lot of fans in the northern districts of sydney, and if there were a stadium at hornsby or even epping i'd propose that it be played there instead of so close to the CBD. sadly christie park doesn't really cut it, but you get what i mean?

it's much more lucrative to get a hold on northern sydney than say... orange. and it's a market we can tap *without* needing to move our base - gosford is easier to get to for many north of the m2 than the SFS is. it's the team that will start at homebush in a couple of years that will pose the problem for us in that regard, so getting a head start on the hearts and minds would be good.

The Mariners have to be very careful of promoting the notion of taking patronage out of the Sydney metro area.

Having fans in 'enemy' territory, or 'disputed' territories as Kevrenor likes to pu tit, is one thing, but to stage games in said territory and promoting yourself there, is skating on thin ice legally I think.

Their franchise calls for them to be a regional team, playing a game in any area of Sydney just isn't regional enough, or at arms length so to speak.

Imagine if the tables were turned in the philosophies of the two clubs.

Say Sydney FC had tapped into some community sentiment better in the Sydney metro area and had some marketing research that suggested that the Woy Woy penisula was being neglected by the Mariners. How would we feel if they decided to play a pre season game in the Woy Woy/ Umina region?

No doubt the Club would be up in arms about it.

The fact that Sydney FC hasn't been able to switch on their charm to the Northern Sydney area doesn't give the Mariners or the FFA the right to encroach upon their franchise area and stage games marketing the Mariners, I believe.

Neutral areas, like Orange, Canberra, Bathurst etc. gives a more safer ground for the Mariners to promote their game to.

All home games at bluey.

Can take a pre-season game there, if admission not included in season ticket price.

I cant see huge numbers of mariners families heading down for a match. Especially during the league would just be absurd and risk backlash ala homebush.

Bluey is our fortress!

 

[striker]

All home games at bluey.

would you be happy to have the home matches CCM v SFC at NSO?

Quit stirring the pot Striker. A lot of us up here are not happy with the notion of moving ANY home game.
