    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!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join 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.

First past the post??

My two bob's worth is that I don't mind the Finals series... it is an exciting time for all concerned and certainly throws up the opportunity for a team finishing 4th in the League to grab some glory at the end of the season.  However... I believe the Finals needs to be recognised for exactly what it is  ie just a post season tournament where the teams who came 2nd to 4th in the league have a chance to have a moment in the sun.  In my opinion, not enough recognition is given in this country to the League Champions for their efforts in winning the hard slog of home/way fixtures over a whole season. To infer a team who wins the GF to be the 'Premiers' and Champions is complete shite. Unfortunately the Australian way is to place the GF winers as the best. At least the A-League is trying to change things by ponouncing the League winners as Premiers although I'd rather see the league winners pronounced Champions and GF winners as simply that... Grand Final Winners.

Finals are a sop to the GayFL/NRL

We are better than that - the team that wins the league are champions
