    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.

Not a shock though - its played in bits of NSW, bits of Queensland and thats about it.

Further restricted by the need to not be able to count past 6 - if NRL wasnt keeping channel 9 afloat it would have gone the way of union already.

Cant happen soon enough :)

But that domination by channel 9 keeps it relevant.

The kids still play RL in some form at lunch time

Agree the air time this game receives (good or bad) keeps it very relevant in the main stream. The big question remains if FTA will keep giving them billions to squander away with poor management by the clubs. If the TV rights went backwards it would be riveting viewing.

Clubs owning their own rights kills FTA. That's the next big move over 20 years or so.

Well deserved. Very good season. Only Castro from Perth was as good (and sometimes better).

On the announcement of the schedule and details for the Westfield FFA Cup 2017 Final Rounds, Peter Allen, Chief Executive Officer, Scentre Group, confirmed the Group’s pleasure in being the competition’s naming rights partner via its Westfield shopping centre portfolio.

“We are extremely proud to once again be the Major Sponsor of the Westfield FFA Cup,” said Allen.

“Just like the local clubs that participate in this competition, our Westfield shopping centres are very much part of their communities, and we look forward to showing our continued support to all the teams taking part in the Cup’s fourth season.”

24 May – Football Federation Victoria

31 May – Football NSW

5 June – Football West

11 June – Football Queensland

14 June – Northern NSW Football
