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!

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.

northernspirit said:this is becoming a farce
asian leagues are snapping up average aussie players, before you know it dinamo marinators will be representing the coast, lokomotiv cove SFC etc...
we need to stem the flow of players before the league becomes a laughing stock
bulldogmariner said:WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT OUR COMPETITION IS A SELLING ONE! WITH THE NEW AFC RULES GOVERNING ASIAN FOOTBALL TEAMS ARE ALLOWED 4 IMPORTS ONE OF WHICH IS ASIAN. THEREFORE THE PREMIER TEAM IN ASIA AT PRESENT IS AUSTRALIA AND WITH A SALARY CAP CONTROLLING PLAYERS WAGES CASHED UP ASIAN TEAMS WILL TRY TO BUY OUR BEST. THE BENEFIT THAT WE GAIN FROM THIS IS MASSIVE IN TERMS OF $$$$ PLUS OUR PLAYERS BECOME MORE EXPERIENCED IN ASIAN FOOTBALL SO WE DONT SEE PERFORMANCES LIKE AGAINST KUWAIT. AS THIS IS THE WAY OF THE FUTRE FOR THE GAME HERE IN AUSTRALIA WE NEED TO EMBRACE IT.
THE OTHER POSITIVE IS THE NYL WHICH MEANS CLUBS WILL BE REWARDED FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PLAYERS. THEY CAN GET THEM IN THE SYSTEM AT 16 OR 17 AND SELL THEM ON AT 20-23 MAKING A PROFIT ON THE PLAYER. LONG GONE ARE THE DAYS OF RYAN GIGGS WHEN A PLAYER SATYS AT A CLUB FOR HIS CAREER. SO WE SHOULD MAKE THE MOST OF IT.
