[FFC Mariner]

All the coast radio stations are pish anyway(not the football commentators but  )

CD's ftw. 

Prefer cross dressers eh mate?

Star-FM have cleaned up in the latest survey. They are now the number one station in all demographics the Mariners and the FFA are targeting.

my logic is
NSL to A League is no comparison
semi pro to pro
to have something that is far better than what it wasm,
thought i get frustrated at times, is worth far more coin than im paying,
equation, support regardless, be loyal to the league, and just maybe
in 5, 10, 20 years we'll have a thriving league with 20000 + per match.

i think some expect premier league type scenario, which is impossible in 5 years,
but compared to what we had (NSL) i dont think we can really complain, just keep spreading word and get behind COME PLAY

Who would want a Premier League scenario though? Would you really want to watch a comp where only Sydney, Melbourne or Gold Coast were any chance of winning it in any given year? I agree, no complaints about the standard of play going up, but not if its' at the expense of a true competition. This is what I try to point out to the Eurosnobs who won't follow the A-League- that the fact "the standard of play is so shit" and is fairly evenly spread across the board, is what makes the A-League an entertaining competition to follow.

Oh well, if they'd rather wear the jersey of some team from a country they've never been to and stay up till 4am to watch a game than go and see their local team play and be part the atmosphere at the ground, good for them...

liverpool what i meant was tha packed houses etc , i couldnt stand having a league where 3 or 4 teams are always top four....

Careful there, an analysis of the HAL to date might reveal some scarily similar data.

Well hey, by all means I have no problem with people following overseas leagues/ teams (gloryhunters I have no time for though). It just makes me laugh that people will do that but not go and watch a national league team playing on their doorstep!

The reason that football is a great game is that all you need is for both sides to be roughly equal and you have the potential for a good game.

Rugby (both kinds) are woeful unless played at a high standard.Compare under 11's D grade football v R League of a similar level and you see what I mean.

I reckon Eurosnobs are just making excuses coz they dont really have any idea about the game at all.

This is my theory as well. In over 90% of games the opposition team could still get a point or three out of the game if behind. This maintains the tension and excitement right to the end.

You also get more upsets in football because of the low scoring.

The problem with league, rugby, afl and basketball is that the game can be over by halftime. Also, the favourites are likely to win most times as well.

It is ironic that some of the greatest games talked about in these sports are when the scores are very close right up to the final whistle.

Agree ... remember the mighty Bledisloe Cup tussles of the late '80s/early 90s .. with Ealsey popping one over the black dot to win by a point? And the Wallaby defence line bloodied but barely broken? Massive games.

Sorry folks Im a Mariners follower from way back so tell me people are you happy with home game crowd figures? Where you there on Friday night?

Hey There are how many people on the central coast? 350,000???? and we get say 8,000 a game...
there are how many people in sydney? say 4,000,000 and they get, say 15,000-20,000 people a game... do the maths. support your team stfu about not deserving a license, and go back to Newcastle, your probs not even from the coast.
