Will "Charlesworth out" fit on it too?

Our lowest crowd last year was the Friday night game in Gosford against Melbourne Victory, and our second lowest was the Friday night game in Gosford against the Phoenix (the Thursday night game against them at NSO had a bigger crowd).
With Friday night FTA games we're never going to get huge crowds. We're almost always going to do better on Saturday nights.

If I remember correctly when the victory game was played it was pouring down with rain & there were storms all that week

...and?
As I said, we have big crowds, we have small crowds, but we average out OK in the end.

So we're lucky we only have 1 Friday night game? Urk! It's on Friday 13th. Feb.
the plus side is that it's at 7.30pm. Saturday night games we have already done 2 x 5pm games, another 5pm game to come and then sensibly 2 x 7.30pm games. Our Sunday schedule is even worse! We have already done 2 x 5pm games, another 5pm game to come on 4th. January and then 2 x 3pm games in March. Ferchrissake! 3pm. in Summer! Bad enough at 5pm. I don't know, I've already vented a few times about what is essentially a winter sport being played in the hottest time of the year in Australia. I have no further comments. rbakersmith

As I've said previously averages don't equal cash flow, and small crowds give more ammunition to those who are constantly hanging shit on us. Friday night FTA gives people another reason not to turn up to the ground - regardless of the weather.

I was going to go before MC's talk last week but he has now shown to be liar. First he said one game. Then he said no more than 2 games now we are talking up to 5 games. It has to stop.

What? Are you serious? I manage a business which has seasonal cashflow and some months have surpluses and some months have deficits - sometimes big numbers in either direction. It's factored in, it's predictable. I'm not bothered by that as long as we make a reasonable bottom line figure in the end.
There's a big difference between needing cash injections to sustain ongoing losses (which means we need bigger crowds on average) and having week-to-week cashflow issues (which means each and every crowd needs to be bigger or else we can't make rent this week).
Given we've survived for ten years, and we've had some shit crowds in that time, including each of the last several years, I think it's safe to bet we're looking at the former, not the latter.
Does having people hang shit on small crowds mean anything? Big woop. People have hung shit on us for various reasons for ten years, it isn't new, and it's not going to kill us, shattering our fanbase will.

I never said I liked watching football
Well, of course I do or I wouldn't bother going to the games, but I don't like it enough to go to NSO and as for Brooky.....

They've started following a lot of people today.Me as well.They won't make many friends.
If you've got twitter,find them and look at the amount of promos that are happening and that they are directly involved in for the NSO game.Something we could do with CCF if the relationship wasn't so butchered and we decided to run from the problem instead of fixing it.
I've followed them purely to retweet their NSO crap to prove a point

There is an abundance of free tickets floating around in Gosford too. The early years it was staggering yet a little understandable with it being so new.
Makes me wonder what the actual 'paying' customer figure is in regards to crowd numbers.
Love the Mariners and my heart is breaking for the players at the moment but I will not travel from the CC to NSO for a night game this Friday. I really don't think they are targeting supporters from Gosford for this game so good luck to the powers that be. As for the game its self I think we have nothing to lose so I hope the Mariners play an attacking brand of football (2 up the front) and go for broke , I dont think another draw is of any use to us at all . I dont care if we get flogged in the process as long as we have a go .
