All I can say is he has an unstoppable passion to see the club remain on the Central Coast.

The man needs a statue.

solid platinum please

No offence to Lawrie but I suspect he would also have a passion to push his political career

No I don't see that at all. He works very hard for the community regardless of his support of the Mariners.

 

[Roy Law]

Lawrie McKinna loves the Central Coast and the Central Coast Mariners. He is well known to the football community in NSW, and to the members of the press. He has the ability and the passion to make a difference. He is our People's Champion; we are lucky to have him.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Of course Lawrie would be passionate about the Mariners. He started the club & bust a gut to get it off the ground. He'd hate to see it go down.

Even if that were true he is still doing more for the community in that one act than any other polly.

likewise the people who have actually put money into the club to keep it running since day one. Lets not all be so naïve please.

You talking about all the members and fans who pay to see the games?

Copied this from the YA site on Facebook…

"Tomorrow sees the culmination of a couple of weeks of a fan driven campaign to get people to ‪#‎standupforthemariners‬.

To celebrate the campaign and celebrate 10 years we will be starting that very chant on the 10th minute mark and going until we've got the whole stadium involved.
When we have everyone on their feet, then we bounce.
Put your arms around the people either side of you and away we go.

The time for everyone to get involved is now."

I don't know about the bouncing, but getting the whole stadium on their feet will be awesome.

Thinking the same thing. Maybe YA can do the bouncy thing, whole stadium standing.

brilliant, that'll go through the fox coverage like a hammer and makes for a loud and clear message

doubt we'll get a full stadium bounce but all standing and chanting will be immense

let's do it mariners fans!

 

[Big Al]

The coast chant would go well with the standing and the message.

 

[MagpieMariner]

My legs might be a bit ancient for the bounce, but stand up & chant I can do.

 

[Bladesman]

Think the problem with the Mariners promotion and engagement may have been identified if you look at how the Media Manager is carrying on with Laurie on Twitter.

 

[Atomic]

Yep, saw that. I think there are a few red faces in the promo's dept at present. Benny O'Neill needs to pull his finger out. Lawrie has given him the template, now it's up to BO to continue the good work.

Thats not Benny's Debt. He is the Media manager. He does do the twitter feed but there are other people in charge of fan engagement.

Well done guys. Seems like 10min mark was just clapping instead of the initial plans? Still great to get the stadium behind it - gave me goosebumps!

The commentators repeatedly mentioned the campaign (by name too), which was absolutely fantastic.

I think you can rate this as a success. Loved seeing signs all around the coast, even banners on the M1 overpasses!!

What's the club done to engage the fans on this campaign, to carry the momentum forwards?

 

[MrCelery]

Not sure who organised to use the F3 (M1) electronic road warning signs, but what a brilliant way to promote the game!
