Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

[sydmariner]

Isn't that Croatia written on the scoreboard?

yes it's the croation sports centre now known as sydney united sports centre.

 

[true believer]

yeah but the greeks had the gold chains

we got nothing to complain about as far as Mikey is concerned after seeing this

Great Vid Recky. Thanks for posting Bud.

Shaun's posted an interesting question over on the Members Facebook page:

Hey Members, I have a hypothetical question for you. If we draw a home game for the FFA cup and Central Coast Stadium is unavailable due to reasons totally unavoidable by the club. Where should we play?

Please note that the lights at Pluim park are not of a high enough Lux capacity to host a round of 32 A-League match by FFA regulations

North Sydney Oval.

North Sydney Oval.

Cromer Park. (I live 10 mins away)

 

[shipwreck]

This feels like a trick.....a clever way of asking, which oval would you go to if we needed to move a home game

I know im coming off a little paranoid, ive just been hurt too many times before

 

[Tevor]

Strange that CCS wouldn't be available, nothing else happens there. I recall a couple of years ago against the Nux we had a half decent crowd for the FFA cup match when they only opened up half the stadium. Think it was a record for a while.

Woy Woy oval would suit me, walking distance from home.

The only reason not to play at CCS is because they've lost the keys

Upgrade the lights at pluim you mug.

Ive never seen one in London. Good spotting TB.

 

[Wombat]

Upgrade the lights at pluim you mug.

Rainman.....please explain what you disliked?

Would you seriously like us to play our FFA games away from the coast or did you find my tone disrepectful to Shaun?

 

[rbakersmith]

Upgrade the lights at pluim you mug.

Shaun already addressed Pluim:

The regulations for FFA broadcast are way over the top. CCF has done a great job and the right thing at Pluim, it would be a massive waste of $$ if they upgraded the lights that much when there isn't a locked in annual broadcast match.

Also he mentioned why there was a second Canberra game:

This is why we went to Canberra last season for the 2nd match instead of Dubbo, FFA knocked back Dubbo because their lights werent strong enough - even though the venue has hosted channel 9 city country and the game was going to be played in the day time (but I have obviously gotten over this decision by now).

 

[true believer]

Rain man . Oooh yeah

 

[Big Al]

Just tell FFA to piss off, if we can't find an appropriate ground on the coast, just give up the game to the other A League team and we will have a home game next time

Also the games are played over different weeks, so just get FFA to make our game on the alternative week.

The only 2 reasons I can think of that we can't play at CCS is if they are re-turfing or the cost

Shaun's posted an interesting question over on the Members Facebook page:

Any idea what the current lux level is & what the requirement is?
I`ve seen in the past that additional temporary lighting has been bought in for games.
Has this avenue been explored?

Or maybe Wombat could leave his front porch light on....
