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.
Want some more random links
Looks a good move for all involved. Poppa gets rid of him and frees up a fair amount of salary cap I'd assume, Topor-Stanley sets himself up for retirement and Hatta Club get a very experienced, and in my opinion good, Asian centre back.Topor-Stanley jets off to Dubai to join Hatta Club:
Western Sydney skipper Nikolai Topor-Stanley is heading to the UAE to join newly-promoted Hatta Club after being released from the final year of his Wanderers contract.
The 31-year-old has agreed terms for a one year deal, with an option for a second with the Dubai-based Arabian Gulf League club.
Sources in the Gulf have confirmed Topor-Stanley will jet to Dubai within 24 hours where he will tie up the deal brokered by Australian agent Ante Alilovic.
Alilovic was the man who took Tim Cahill to China for spells with Shanghai Shenhua and Hangzhou Greentown prior to his recent move to Melbourne City.
Topor-Stanley - somewhat fancifully linked with a $3 million February switch to Beijing Guoan - took little persuading to accept the money-spinning offer from the Gulf with Wanderers coach Tony Popovic, who has a surplus of defenders, declining to stand in his way.
The centre-back, who also had spells with Sydney FC, Perth Glory and Newcastle Jets, will join Socceroos mainstay Mark Milligan, of Baniyas, in the AGL.
Topor-Stanley has made123 appearances for the Wanderers in all competitions and was one of only two remaining foundation players at the club - the other is Shannon Cole.
He was suspended from Wanderers' 4-0 season-opening derby loss to Sydney FC.
His new club Hatta, who hold ambitions to become one of their region's most progressive clubs, have picked up one point from their opening two games of the new season.
He was injured for a good period with us, I presume this was why we didnt re-sign him.
No doubt they have also been missing McGlinchey and maybe Smeltz is an injury replacement. Or he wants the leading goal scorer trophy back.
He must have been spending to much time at auburn mcdonalds lol
I don't think he can ever do that though. I don't think he is actually good enough for a European team at least not without a good launchpad from the A-League. He's just full of himself and it seems like he won't take advice from anyone.
Yes I'm sure he'll get along with bucket hat boy just fine.
