My first match was the trial against the Central Coast combined team at Pluim Park.
My second match (and my first HAL match) was Sonic Appreciation Day in the pouring rain against Perth.

My first Mariners experience was my first football game EVER!
It was the CWC against the scum, the one with the penalty shootout. I remember taking the Old Girl and a friend's daughter. I figured that the Central Coast finally had a team in a national competition and it was up to locals like myself to go and support them.
In regards to Durante's broken leg (I think that was the player), I was brought up on a diet of rugby league and I recall saying to the Old Girl that unless these sissies stop faking their injuries, this game will never catch on here on the Coast. I feel a bit humble now knowing the guy had broken his leg.
It wasn't the best game to watch from a novice's point of view as I found it quiet boring. During extra time I was hoping someone would score, be it us or them, so we could go home. As it turns out, I was glad we won the shoot out.
I went to a few games during season 1 as a casual observer still with the idea that it was up to locals like me to support the Coast in a national comp. As the season went on, it all started to make sense to me and I started to become obsessed about MY team. So much so that I bought a membership in season 2. After the Old Girl realised how much fun I was having during season 2, she insisted on joining me in V3 - oh well.. so much for the fun aspect... lol.
Finally, it wasn't only the team that drew my interest but it was also the supporters. I was amazed at how such a diverse group of people would come together as one. I used to get a tingle when walking into the Kendall for a pre game sherbert and seeing all the yellow. Better still, walking into the KB, even better still, walking into the KB after a victory (or even a 3-3 draw).
The saying "Mariners till I die" is true for me. I hate Newcastle and even get annoyed when I see a copy of the Newcastle Herald on the tea room table of a morning. I just want to throw that piece of shit in the bin. Beating them in the 2nd leg of the semi was the highlight, losing to them in the GF and having to work with Newcastle band wagonners was a definite low light. Anyway, that's my story... to be continued till I die

Beauchamps sending off gave me the shits and I got really fired up after that.Up to that point I didn't really see CCM as my team I was just there as a casual observer.FFC Mariner said:

I've never really hated SFC. I love beating them because they're the "glamour club", the media darlings from down the F3 and their fans think its' their God-given right to win the League/ Grand Final every season.
The Jets I didn't really hate in Season 1, in fact I felt kind of sorry for their pitiful support, esp. when we played them at EAS in the semi and out-numbered/ out-sang them. I figured a lot of the hatred was do with the fact they were our "local" rivals. It wasn't really until Season 2 when their bandwagon swelled and I began to see what a bunch of foul-mouthed, common, knuckle-dragging bunch of wannabee ultras their fanbase was that I began to feel hatred towards them. That and a certain ex- player of theirs who wore the number 9.
I wouldn't say I hate GCU, but their Sydney-esque "It is our divine right to win everything" attitude and their constant whining (from players, staff and fans) is beginning to shit me, as is that whingeing little prick Culina. I haven't hated a player in the League so much since that ex Newcastle number 9.
