    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.

Count me in COYY!!!
For those that didn’t watch the video, we have booked in Hotel Gosford from 5:00 and onwards and will march to the stadium from 6:50 in a route which takes us under 2 carparks which will guarantee a deafening echo. Since it’s a Friday we obviously don’t expect to see the pub start to fill up straight away but we are hoping for a minimum of 50-100 to people. Get there, bring all your mates, spread the word, and be apart of a new era of active support for the Mariners. COYY

Hoping for a big turnout tomorrow at Hotel Gosford from 5:00 PM for a 6:50 PM march. Its an experience you will guarantee to enjoy which comes with the benefits of quality drinks and food that you don’t get in the stadium, and quick access into the ground as we have a second gate unlocked for people marching only like in the grand final last season.

Quite proud of our group after today. Disappointing not to get a huge crowd but we worked well with what we had, a lot of casual Mariners fans seemed to enjoy watching our march so hopefully they all join in next time. Thanks to all who braved the rain tonight as well. COYY

We are considering to bring back the “back to bay round” theme day and are wondering what game it should be for. Open to any suggestions, we’re thinking it’ll be most ideal if it’s on a weekend at late afternoon/night time.

Would you do a game likely to be well attended? Scum? Sydney?

Is it true the club gets to vet appointees?

. I don't see any other option at the moment ... I'm not aware of a popular vote

. and if there was a popular vote - I think that is potentially more dangerous

. I'm more concerned that there have been plenty of meetings - yet our FRG representatives seem largely anonymous to the larger fan base. for example: when do they meet, when and how do we provide feedback (without looking for a 12 month old Facebook post from the club)?

CCM put out an email a while ago introducing fans to who was in the FRG.
Some fans put in their nominations to join the group, others were picked by the club due to a long relationship.

Yellow Army have posted a link to the forms a number of times.
OSC have it as a permanent link on their site.
Most of the questions coming from the meeting on Wednesday night was actually input from FRG members after they'd spoken with fans on game day, forums, or social media.

I have previously asked if the group would like a social media presence so we are more visible, I think I will push harder this time.
As a number of people are finding out, some transparency and open communication are key in dealing with a fan base.

The FRG actively advocate for fan interests to the club's and leagues management.
The other night we discussed.

Referees verbally explaining their decisions, instead of just their decisions following VAR intervention.
Long queues and catering at the ACL game.
User interface issues with the membership renewal and ticket page.
20th year anniversary celebrations, merch etc.
Inury reports of players being absent.
Men's and women's game fixture clash.
Pre game entertainment including music.
ACL kit sales, AFC Cup winners emblems.
Youtube presence of the club moving forward.
Problems with the clubs telecommunications.
Kit sizing.
Members not receiving crucial emails.

Two to three of these issues will be taken to the APL FRG for further discussion as a league wide problem.
