Big day and the blue print for our future or so we are told... looking forward to see what it is...
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.
The key long-term projections of the WOFP include;
- A 15 million strong Football community by 2035, including 1 million club members
- A distinctive Australian style of playing that puts our National Teams in contention for all FIFA and AFC championships
- Hosting the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup as the driver of women’s Football participation and professionalism
- National competitions that attract 75% of participants to support a Top Tier club
- A combined pool of 3,000 elite male and female players from 12 to 19 vying for future national selection and professional contracts
- Academies that provide world-class coaching so that no Australian youth needs to go overseas to find elite development
- A redistribution of resources to community Football
- Lower cost and higher quality coach education from the grassroots to professional tier
- Making schools and social Football the focus of an “Anytime, Anyhow, Anywhere” approach to playing the game
- Sourcing Football facilities that accommodate the increasing urban density of Australian society
- Redefining the role of referees as game facilitators, not just as arbitrators of the Laws of the Game

Isn't that the point, the Plan contains a non exclusive pointer to every region with >500k. population which could sustain a license?Sorry, I disagree.
"Only" is exclusive. "Every" is non-exclusive. A current drivers' licence is ID, but so is a bank card and a utility bill. There are different ways of getting to the same point.
Even leaving that aside, if you add in Hornsby LGA we're up to 499k - no need to push to the harbour. And we've had a significant presence north of the M2 since day 1, going right back to pre-season matches against Spirit FC and development links with GHFA.
