    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.

He surely doesnt qualify. Hasnt done 10 years unbroken
You've got a real chip on your shoulder about his stint with the Smurfs. I can understand that I guess but there were some mitigating circumstances around that.

I wasn't aware 10 years uninterrupted was a rule for a testimonial, is that a general vibe or a club policy?

It's his celebration with the travelling Cove.
Imagine the bloke being hurt by being dumped by us and being happy to get one back at those who didnt want him. That's a very petty reason to not give him the send off he deserves.

Edit: As far as many other fans are concerned he is the face of the central coast and even if he hangs up the boots he will be for a while.

Pretty much the way I feel. No-one (maybe Hutcho) else comes close to personifying the club for me.

Nothing official, just a general rule of thumb in football. I’ve openly never been the biggest fan of simmo’s football ability but as a man of this club he does deserve a testimonial.

Whilst FFC is coming across as a doomsayer, his perception of that period isn’t wrong when you forget that Simmo basically begged arnie for a minimum wage contract because his daughter wasn’t well at the time. Yeah he celebrated against us during an incredibly emotional time for his family after he lost his income.

Just went past on the train. Lights are on the net is up and a bus out the back but couldn’t see anything else. That’s my input.
