[FFC Mariner]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm we shall see, the most interesting news is the JV with PT.

As for Forever gold??

I'd go with 15
Dad = No idea (they narrowed it down to about 8 possibles)
Mum = Crack Ho
Education = Year 5 (3x)
House = Flits between care homes and mum and "uncles"
Skin = Spotty
Hobbys = Glue sniffing, graffiti and hanging out at da skate park

 

[greenpoint]

gypsy, we signed a partnership with new utd. (english team) when we were also called newcastle united in the NSL..

forever_gold, i didn't think that partnership arrangement between the newcastle uniteds was ever formally signed.

there was talk about it when sir john hall was chairman of newcastle united, but as far as I know it didn't go anywhere.

i'm happy to be proven wrong.

cheers.

from Sheffield United's home page...

lol, I love how they make us sound...
The Mariners, who feature a number of Australian internationals, were Premiers of this year's Hyundai A-League in Australia. They missed out by a single goal to Newcastle Jets in the end of season Grand Final this weekend, a game covered by Sky Sports. They have qualified for the Asia Cup, the equivalent of Europe's Champion's League.

The Blades and the Mariners to mastermind the redevelopment of land within the confines of the stadium and beyond in order to develop new revenue streams through leisure and retail facilities.

eh?

sounds interesting....

 

[dibo]

You fill up my senses
Like a gallon of Bluetongue
Like a packet of Winfields

Like a Monty's chip butty
Central Coast Mariners
Come thrill me again....
Na Na Na Naa Naa Naaaaa, ooo!

# ..they lost the A League final at the weekend to Newcastle (Jets, not Comedy Club) after being denied a blatant penalty in the last minute of injury time. The keeper was then sent off for slapping the ref and has received a 15 month ban (six of them suspended).

I like 'em already.

The Knights had a partnership with Charlton Athletic when they were around. Good lot it did them tho

Their predecessors the Football Kingz had partnerships with Chelsea and Lyn.

 

[skilbeck]

dont think you can blame the downfall of the knights and football kingz on the partnership. I feel it was more due to the fact that it is a touch harder to market football in NZ than Australia

eh?

sounds interesting....

Bay 16, roof, bar, carpets.................or maybe the grass out the back is a gonner???

Be afraid bowlers and Palm trees, be very afraid (I know they have a heritage order but Morris might import some of his Wollongong mates to help the council out??)

 

[Paolo]

now if only we can drop mariners from our name and just be Central Coast United instead verhead:

hmmm... i think there's something a bit off target here.

the present stadium is a public stadium on public land, privately managed. so it could be that that's about to change - privatising the stadium, or otherwise perhaps allowing singo, turnbull and the club something like a 50 year lease on the stadium and surrounds and essentially freehold rights to develop it.

if not then i think they're either talking about bramall lane or otherwise they must be considering a new privately owned stadium (i.e. what most clubs in the UK have). given that you've got a limited number of gamedays per year and we don't have anything like the ticketing revenues to make it work, you'd have to buy up a large portion of land and reserve some of it for a stadium development while holding a significant proportion of the rest for various retail, commercial, and tourist purposes.

could the leagues club be bought out?

 

[dibo]

could the leagues club be bought out?

it's a club - it'd have to be by resolution of the members. i doubt that would happen, i think more likely the club would take a stake in the development.

in a more practical problem, there's simply not a lot of room on the stadium or leagues club sites. unless you knocked the whole lot down and started again (building over Dane Drive and Georgiana Terrace and ate up half of Leagues Clup Park as well).

 

[universalmind]

How many people that attend the football do you reckon are members of the leagues club? Enough for a majority? Without the football the club would be in a wee bit of trouble.

 

[skilbeck]

an expansion is stupid in the current location as there is no additional parking for the extra seating. this would involve taking over Gosford CBD, though the Mariners and the football is the only decent thing in or near Gosford CBD

 

[FFC Mariner]

Nightmare scenario.

New stadium built halfway between here and scumville.

Groundshare and cut Singo out.

Cons solves his EAS issues and we get more revenue.

0.0001% but Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[dibo]

slightly less wild speculation (but still speculation nonetheless) - gosford racecourse bought up, council assists by rezoning other land up somersby way for the racecourse (bookies at the track aren't where the money is now, the money comes from TAB receipts so racing could essentially be on mars for all it matters). land that the racecourse stands on, plus brownfields sites on the eastern side of racecourse road converted into massive leisure/retail/commercial precinct with the stadium as an essential part.

while this sounds like a crazy idea, it's exactly the sort of thing that would be talked about if we were to make a serious world cup bid. lowy's talking about 16 stadiums - almost certainly there would be one in gosford/central coast.

think about the old oasis precinct that was once planned for liverpool and you're on the right track.

 

[skilbeck]

it just feels like BT stadium wouldve been a terrible waste of money as about 10-12 years is a very short stadium life
