ThanksI think you'll find 5% is 1 in 20, not 1 in 5 ...
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!

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.

This is critical - a lot of coasties are really from somewhere else. They might not be easy to convert - many might simply identify more with a Sydney-based club.They could more easily be sfc fans who moved to the coast.
Like the many Mariners fans I know who moved to Sydney.
There's no doubt the last couple of years have been hard to digest . Im all for expanding the brand and exploring Avenues but Canberra . The coasts 2012 population was around 317000 so I'm guesing where at about 330 ,000 population 10%of that catchment is 33,000 spectators , 5% would be 16,500 . How do we get 1 in every 20 coasties to become part of Mariners. Got of the train at woy woy the night Sydney played Victory and at 3coasty families were decked out in Sydney fc gear . chanting where top of the league which pissed me off to the core but it got me thinking . Train travel , late night they were a young family little children decked out in fc gear . Mariners are not tapping into our region hard enough .I saw 20 or so potential Mariner fans but there not .
Funny, but games in Canberra are MUCH more accessible to me....
