    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!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join the community! It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    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.

The money is good but FTA is a must if the code is to genuinely have national appeal.
I'd like to see
1. FTA in some form (Socceroos, A League main game and highlights package)
2. significant increase in salary cap
3. Marquee player mandatory at every club, limited to one, and approved by FFA
4. More money to develop youth players
5. State League clubs properly reimbursed for discovering said youth players
6. W League players paid and season schedule doubled
7. Full time referees and assistants
8. Any coaching course approved by FFA to be fee free for kids (as NSW is doing now)
9. Fox Sports FC and Matchday Saturday to go free to air (Bozza would be a massive draw card)
10. I'd keep Harper; he likes the Mariners  :innocent:

Interesting if this poster from 442 is correct.... I posted the full article in the WC thread ... but tho this bit relates to this thread

The researcher believes the A-League will benefit from the tournament with a boom in attendances, although they will remain below the NRL.

"Despite the fact that two clubs are joining the A-League - Melbourne Heart in 2010 and Sydney Rovers in 2011 - football sponsorship remains below other major sports in Australia.

"The A-League and the Socceroos attract around $24 million in sponsorship dollars each year and Hyundai invested just $10 million for four years of naming rights," Mr Bryant said.

The broadcast deal and naming rights will both increase in the near future.

"IBISWorld expects that Football Federation Australia will seek around $30 million for new naming rights next year as well as negotiating a $300 million, five-year broadcast deal with Foxtel," he said.
