Has anyone heard from Joyful Peguin? I noticed he hasn't posted since October last year.

Has anyone heard from Joyful Peguin? I noticed he hasn't posted since October last year.

I was thinking the same thing this morning. I seem to remember he had / has some health issues.
Hope he'll be OK with the virus.
He used to log on and read but not post when he was not well.

He was ill I think I read on here?

 

[Ironbark]

Same, if your reading this JP know that you're missed

Am I right in understanding that a corona testing centre is being set up in the medical centre at the CoE?

Four FFA Cup matches to be played at Mariners CoE
The Central Coast Mariners Centre of Excellence will play host to four local FFA Cup Preliminary Round ties on Sunday afternoon as part of a bumper day of football.

There will be a BBQ and canteen on the day, and spectator entry is free, with patrons encouraged to head to Tuggerah and cheer on the Coast teams as they look to progress in the nationwide cup competition.

Mariners CEO Shaun Mielekamp said it was a great opportunity for fans to get out and see a day of local football in one location.

"We're excited to be hosting local football down at the Centre of Excellence, and look forward to seeing plenty of fans out there on the day," he said.

"It's a great chance for us to give something back to the Coast football community by hosting these games and to support our Coast teams looking to progress in the competition."

Yes there is a test centre there. The Douglass Hanly Moir rooms.
The people will enter via the side door, not through the medical centre.

That's a BIG LOL from me.

Health officials are telling the government to limit crowds to 500. If they listen every A League game can be played at CCS.

we might have to cancel the rest of the season which wouldn’t be a bad thing for us

 

[booney]

If season cancelled the club may be saved by the coronavirus.

Closed doors might actually help the bottom line depending on how the stadium fees work.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

We might be unlucky and have less than 500 show up and the next home game goes ahead.

 

[Pirate Pete]

Shaun.

could you arrange a box for the forum faithful?
It would be less than 500
Or we could volunteer as ballboys

This corona stuff is a god send to the Mariners at the moment. The next two weeks would have been humiliating for the good.

They would have broke a record crowd low Friday night and well and truly humbled by the Jets’ crowd the following week.

Just a question with games being played behind closed doors will members get a refund on there membership?
