Turbulence (then calm sailing, then turbulence) thread.

Dubious source aside....seeing as we have to play the regional game away anyway, a game against MVC where we get the gate would be a decent money spinner.

 

[VicMariner]

so... CCMFans is reporting that Tony Abbott is going to be fed to wild dogs...

So the greyhound industry is not all bad then.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Middy, son, as NY correctly says, that's not within coo-ee of 442 saying it.

That's like me commenting on a SMH article saying that Tony Abbott is going to be fed to wild dogs and you then saying 'the SMH is reporting that Tony Abbott is going to be fed to wild dogs'...

I wish...

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

I can't help but think that this isn't a good thing may get us some cash now but in the long run will hurt us.

 

[MagpieMariner]

You mean someone's going to pay us to feed Scabbott to wild dogs? Oh joy, oh bliss.

Just saying re the Brookie no move decision.... last night Manly got 8K ... our Friday night crowds mostly top 8K...

I do wonder who ever advised MC this would be a good idea ... thankfully it all behind us now ...

This sounds like an excellent idea:

The Central Coast Mariners are excited to announce ‘Welcome Wednesdays’ that will serve as an opportunity for our fans and members to meet Mariners’ Senior Management in an informal setting. The first instalment will kick-off next Wednesday July 1 at Central Coast Leagues Club.

Next Wednesday Peter Storrie (Executive Vice Chairman) & Shaun Mielekamp (CEO) along with other CCM Staff members will be on hand at the Kendall Bar to chat all things Yellow & Navy.

Over the next few months the Mariners’ ‘Welcome Wednesdays’ will visit several venues across Central Coast that will provide a comfortable setting for our fans and members to discuss the upcoming season with Mariners’ Administration Staff over a beverage.

Details for further ‘Welcome Wednesdays’ are to be advised.

For more info, please call CCM HQ on (02) 4353 7200 or e-mail info@ccmariners.com.au

Where: Kendall Bar, Central Coast Leagues Club
When: Wednesday July 1, 6:30pm start (with more Welcome Wednesdays to follow)
How much: FREE

Great idea! Might get some small business engaged with the club.

 

[midfielder]

This sounds like an excellent idea:

Agree the club getting back to community engagement ... we should tell as many people as possible ....

This sounds like an excellent idea:

We can't complain. can we? This is a genuine attempt to engage with the community. I just hope the community responds in kind.

 

[midfielder]

Just saying

Tis never right to speak to poorly of those who tried gave their best, and their best was not good enough. Then there is the Rupert Murdock line of well they applied for the job, said they could do it and they didn’t so I had to ????

After last night meeting the CEO and Peter S and some other officials, I feel the club is in safer hands that what it was 12 months ago and further our owner is smarter as well.

We seemed to get a double whammy a poor choice of CEO who wanted to throw everything out that had worked and replace it with the Brisbane way and a new coach who got his recruitment horribly wrong and was HHHHHmmmm not up to it.

Together they led us down a path and me thinks the CEO’s advice, or arguably lack of researched advice, to Charlesworth resulted in a rush to NSO and Brookie.

Today we are pushing very hard to get back into the community and CEO & Directors listening and acting on fans, players and parent’s information.

I come away last night with a feeling I have not had for maybe 3 years, our management is on the ball and moving us in the right direction.

I'm not sold on the idea of the Navy (and I don't think they'd want to get involved in one team - they'd more likely sponsor a sport so as to avoid any partisanship issues).

Shipping companies don't really work for us because despite the name, we don't have a port.

Cruise ship companies is actually a pretty good idea though. We've got loads of the target market - middle income families and older people.

 

[sydmariner]

Just so long as they don't do the Simpsons subliminal YVAN EHT NIOJ thing!

what about changing our club song to "in the navy" lol

 

[dibo]

I'd like to know whose f**king genius idea it was to have the club attend a partisan political fundraiser today.

This is actually pretty good exposure but we should be leveraging pollies to promote us, not the other way around.

OH GOD THE HORROR.

 

[rbakersmith]

It's not the first time...

 

[dibo]

That was announcing money for the COE, not shaking the tin to raise campaign funds.
