    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.

Meanwhile the first mention of the Mariners' Centre of Excellence was what, 2009 or so? Turnbull was selling similar ideas to FNSW at the same time to build a massive complex at Riverstone, which was a complete money pit and absolutely unfeasible. FNSW bailed on that in 2011 and have just moved into their new offices at a redeveloped Valentine Sports Park a couple of months ago, nestled in the middle of their 5-field complex including two synthetic pitches.

Meanwhile, we're still struggling along with something like the fifth iteration of our plan, never having had the cash to actually get it finished off...
