Mariners agree partnership with Central Coast RadioWednesday, 27 July 2011 0 0Email0

Central Coast Mariners have today agreed to an official partnership with Central Coast Radio for the 2011/12 Hyundai A-League season.

Incorporating 2GO (107.7FM) and SEA FM (101.3FM), Central Coast Radio were an official partner of the Mariners for the clubs’ inaugural Hyundai A-League campaign in 2005/06.

Central Coast Radio General Manager, Mr Paul Wrigley, said the company is delighted to link with the Yellow and Navy again heading into an exciting phase in the clubs’ development.

“Both 2GO and SEA FM are extremely pleased and proud to be partnering with the Central Coast Mariners for the forthcoming season,” he said.

“The Mariners are an integral part of the community and mirror our values, so we look forward to a successful year ahead both on and off the field.”

Central Coast Mariners CEO, Mr John McKay, echoed Wrigley’s sentiments.

“2GO and SEA FM were amongst the first to partner the Mariners when the Club was formed and we had some great success together back in those early seasons of the competition which we are intent on surpassing in season seven of the Hyundai A-League,” he said.

With the partnership effective immediately, McKay added the alliance would aid the Mariners 2011/12 Membership campaign which ramps up this weekend.

“It’s great to be back on board with Central Coast Radio, and we are already off and running starting with a major Membership drive for the upcoming season this weekend,” he said.

On Saturday, the Mariners will open their early-bird price period for new Members with events at Erina Fair and Westfield Tuggerah between 11am and 2pm.

Mariners players and coaching staff will be present at both venues signing autographs, posing for pictures and mingling with fans between 12 and 1pm.

Great move. We really didn't get enough out of Star FM and this will give us double the airtime.

Thank God for that! Banksy and Steve on Star FM drive me nuts! Their interviews with Arnie were so unprofessional and frankly embarrassing.

 

[offtheball]

Hopefully that will see a return of Steve Allen as ground announcer.

Anyone that knows that a bloke with his arse on the sideline is a substitute and that the act of replacing one player with another is a substitution will be just fine.

I must admit I turned off StarFM 3 weeks ago, I couldn`t stand Banksy & Steve. If it wasn`t for Mandy Coolen we`d have got Sweet FA from StarFM

In saying that I didn`t mind the ground announcing team that they had at BT.They really seemed to be into the Mariners & were very enthusiastic.

Lol I hope you're not referring to me saying I married her ages ago! I was joking! I wish! Sorry... :ashamed:

 

[pjennings]

You got me :ashamed: :lol:

 

[cbowden9000]

You got me :ashamed: :lol:

Haha sorry buddy! It's hard when you've only got text to work with!

She did get married though. Just not to me, sadly :

Excellent news; a radio station that actually 'gets' the Mariners and tries to develop a relationship with them. They should never have been dropped; welcome back.

 

[Jesus]

good choice

 

[Wombat]

Hopefully Star fm will still support the mariners and not do a churlish blanket ban of any mariners news like Sea FM did this season.

 

[style_cafe]

You got me :ashamed: :lol:

& me :ashamed:

Exactly. I find it strange that we have to have a deal with a radio station (or two in this case) otherwise we don't crack a mention. Can you imagine radio stations in Melbourne not talking about the AFL unless they had some type of deal with a club? I'm sure a few people reading this would love that idea, but it wouldn't happen!

thank fu** for this news
apart from alice cooper at nights i cant stand Star FM and their obvious leanings towards the NRL... for a station supposedly supporting the mariners it sure didnt seem that way.

Plus coverage from 2 stations has to be better than one, but i wonder how these 2 stations rate compared to Star fm? I suspect more people must listen to 2GO and Sea than Star and demograph? I suspect the demograph of the combined would be more in keeping, i get the feeling that Star is more suited to the redneck/bogan audience more likely to lean towards the NRL.

Probably upset a few people with that comment lol

You are probably right.

But is a shame that we have to do an exclusive media deal, to get any type of media coverage. Would be great if both were looking for media spots from Arnie etc simply because it is big local news
