Turbulence (then calm sailing, then turbulence) thread.

It's an interesting observation. It just goes to show that the as much as Charlesworth would like to believe, the "market" on the Central Coast isn't exhausted.

Absolutely.

The peninsula is woy woy, umina and ettalong etc.....not to be confused with the Silvertail peninsula on the Northern beaches of Sydney.

I lived at Nth Balgowlah, Manly, Curl Curl and Wheeler Heights until it was time to buy a house.....not having a lazy million I moved out of the area and am very grateful to have ended up on the Central Coast.

Sydney sucks balls but the Nth Beaches is the only place to live if you have to live in that City.

LOL you're wrong. Spit Bridge, Military Rd and ridiculous bus routes mean the northern beaches can suck a fat one. Give me the inner west, or give me the coast.

Come on those legendary double length bendy buses were great....only took an hour from Harbord.

Inner west is ok in small doses but choking on fumes in the morning as opposed to a 30 min ferry ride from Manly to CBD. The beaches win every time.

With overpriced coffee, hipsters and Parramatta Road? Forget it.

The North Shore is a much better place to live than the inner west... plus it's a little closer to the coast

only 1 problem with the n beaches no train line to the coast but there's still the ferrie

I heard today that the Mariners are late with some of the employees wages. Reputable source. Not a player but connected to the playing group. I'm not willing to name names at this stage. No players are affected as yet, but word is that if one of the playing group doesn't get paid, they're all walking out.

. reads as if there will only be the one ... and unfortunately i may not be able to make it. i'd appreciate people sharing their views if they can make it

. the 'agenda' seems quite extensive and the time frame relatively short ... so don't be shy if you get the chance to speak up

Oh FFS... We actually made it through the whole season without this s***, then it shows up again now....
I suppose the silver lining is that it's better to have it happen in the off season than during the season.

God I hope your wrong ... TBH if we can't pay wages I start to question what we are doing staying in the league ... I so sick of this year on year out ...

Either get some owners that can pay or go to the National Premier League ... I suppose there is always South Melbourne

Direct from someone who would know (again, not willing to name a name) that wages are always paid on time.

One of our sources either doesn't know as much as they think or not being 100% honest.

 

[bilo]

I have spoken to a couple of staff who were all paid and I am told all salaries last month were paid on time. There is still a lot of money outstanding to businesses, the stadium and council i believe but not to staff or players.

I have also heard that the relationship with CCF has broken down. CCF were going to give $150K or something to assist in funding the academy but that is now not happening. Not sure whats happening there

That would be a telling question for the Fan's Forum!

 

[Big Al]

I thought the rumors were the FFA paid the players from the TV deal direct?

Was it a timing issue - E.g expect to be paid thursday but was in bank friday but due to our history any late payment is big news?

 

[dibo]

I'm happy to assume it's not true. My source is pretty close. As for the other stuff bilo said, I didn't ask those things so I've no idea if they're true or not. I've heard them rumoured before.

+1 for the North Shore. I'm slowly being corrupted converted.

 

[dibo]

Overpriced coffee? $3 is overpriced? Hipsters bother me not and Parramatta Rd is no worse than the Pacific Highway, Epping Rd, Military Rd...

Plus, I live here, so it's automatically awesome.

Sorry everyone, I shouldn't have posted this… but did so after a few pre State of Origin bevvies. However, what's done is done. I shall endeavour to find out more details. Suffice to say, for what it's worth, my source appears in The Code, i.e. not a bit player in the club and hence my reluctance to name him (or her).

 

[dibo]

No worries. I'd have posted it and you'd have checked. Was posted as a rumour not fact, so no worries in my view.
