Was bored today so instead of doing my job I went around and had a look at all the other fan sites for A-League clubs. Given we are one of the regional clubs and undoubtedly have a smaller fan base than Sydney and Melbourne, I was surprised by the extent to which the Marinators site pwns all the others. Surprisingly, I think the Nix site probably comes in 2nd. Besides us and Nix, all the other sites are either just generic forums, or forums with a home page that is pretty basic and / or out of date.
Things like the countdown to next match, league table (with appropriate team names), live chat, latest posts section, and up-to-date front page articles are pretty much unique to the Marinators site.
As such, big props to all the site developers on doing such a great job, keep it up. This place is probably the first step for any prospective fan, and I'm sure it would leave a fantastic impression. Perhaps even as good an impression as a brilliant Matt Simon goal.
