Mariners welcome home

[Gav...]

The boys will be arriving at bluetongue this afternoon at 4.30pm.

It will be great to get everyone down there and show them the support they deserve.

Unfortunately couldn't make it this arvo - damn work. Hopefully there'll be a formal celebration for them sometime soon. Would love to show the boys our support.

A big thanks goes out to Arnie and the boys for a great home coming. I was fortunate enough to get up there and the boys were all very nice to step off the bus and greet the crowd of dedicated supporters awaiting their arrival. The boys all made a great effort as tired and as upset as they were to make their way around talking about their experience with all the fans. they stuck around for photos with the kids and shook the hands of many. We all feel the same pain with their loss but the boys should be very proud of themselves

Would have loved to have known it was on.
We drove through there on our way home from the match at about 3.45pm.

Was so great of the boys to hang around for so long. Would have just had the longest trip of their lives and be wanting to curl up in their beds. Instead they put their brave faces and mingled with the fans. Much appreciated boys.

Too true. This is why I love this club so much. The players understand that it is the fans that make it what it is and go out of their way to embrace us. Even Patricio with his limited english hung around for photos. A lot of the boys were asking how the game looked on tele and said the atmosphere on the ground was unbelievable.

A big shout out to Matty Simon. An absolute legend. Matt really takes a genuine interest in the fans and was pumping everyone with questions. One thing he did mention was that the Mariners rooms had been broken into at the new facilities at Wyong. Cant believe that someone would do that.

Last but not least praise has to go to Graham Arnold. He was an absolute gentleman and was apologising for not bringing the toilet seat home. Considering most pundits wrote us off I think that Graham shoved it back in their faces. He did not shirk any questions and went out of is way to engage everyone who turned up.
