Your first Mariners game?

When was it? Mine was January 8, 2006, against the Knights at Bluetongue (although I think it was still called Express Advocate Stadium at the time). We won 1-0 and it was pissing down with rain, although my mates and I were sheltered under the Eastern Grandstand. I remember looking over at the Marinators chanting in Bay 16 and tossing a beach-ball about and thinking they were crazy to be out there in such weather! I've still got the ticket from that match somewhere...

Pre-Club World Championship trial game at Christie Park vs Gladesville Spirit FC. 
Crowd: Ursus, Ben Coonan, and me as I recall.

1st World Club Champ game

If only I could remember who we played...

Adelaide 4-0 or the scum penalty win?

The penalty shoot out against Newcastle. literally that was all I saw of that game as I had to work that night. came tearing in to the Bay for the start of it.

Full game probably mid week adelaide game. Although who knows if there was a trial game I made before that. to long ago.

I don't usually comment on here, but that 1-0 win over the Knights was my favourite ever Bluetongue experience. I rushed from work along the F3 in the pouring rain and sung my guts out for 90 minutes with the rest of bay 16 (keeping in mind I was overseas for the premiership winning season)

first game was the CWC double header, but i must say the NZ game where we were hoiking that massive inflatable shark at the cameraman up on the tower was f**king hilarious.

the initial CWC double header at bluey, think sydney played bris, and we played newy

this for me too

enduring drunken memory of the penalty of clarky hitting the post and rebounding off the back of reddy into the net - still plays in slow motion in my mind

heff scoring the winning penalty and taking his shirt off - first we knew of heff

4th August 2007, pre-season cup against Glory. We lost 2-3 and I thought we played crap, but it was exciting at the finish and I was hooked.

Same here, can you remember which scummer missed? Hit the bar didn't it? Or am I just remembering SP missing in PSC V2 vs Adelaide?

Hmmm standing on the stairs of a crowded bay 16 with Bec in V1 playing against sydney (3-0 I think) and falling even further in love with the game :D .... Not sure but I don't think I've missed a full "home" game since.
