Think I'll go and have a look on Sat night.

GP where do you usually sit/stand ?

If you put a glass/cup in yer pocket I'll fill ye up out the hip flask! 

 

[FFC Mariner]

TY

Redline, if our performance at home to NZ (when we lost 1-0) is a 10 for value...........CCL are about -40

Having said that, will be there with my v strange bottle of coke (numbs the pain a bit)

If you go and watch a few of the youth games there is no charge. 

 

[masmariner]

Hopefully $5....it'd better be good for $10. How much is a walk up GA for the Mariners? Like $30? And it's not twice as good quality from what I gather at times.

Hopefully I'll be on the gate it'll be $10 - $5 for collection ($5 for me) lets see $5 x 350 cars yes I'll definately be on the gate. (No coins please $10 notes only).

Rofl if u think 350 cars go. Not even 350 people in total attend

Being Scottish anything for free is tempting!

However I think I'd be pushing my luck with the Mrs if I did that.

Anyway,the hip flask only holds a games worth!

Big test for Preston and his men!!

I give him a discount he pays $10 per car not $10 per person as per FNSW guidelines.

 

[Arabmariner]

Went and watched tonights game.

Painful.Glad I had my hipflask.

I promise never to bag the Mariners again!

Lost 2-0 btw.

 

[FFC Mariner]

So do you want to hear about my hot date and wonderful Italian meal?

Probably not

 

[David Villa]

Lightning played Parramatta PCYC Eagles at pluim park and results are: 13's lost 5-0, 14's lost 2-1, 15's lost 2-0, 16's lost 1-0, 18's drew 1-1.

The 18's goaly got sent off about 10 minutes to go and the score was 1-1 and then
Aaron Zavolokin come on and Parra missed the penalty.

 

[FFC Mariner]

This season, it doesnt look as if any CCM players or yoof are in the CCL squad and the results are not too flash are they? In past seasons we have seen Boogs, Porter, Matty play for them.

If the club has sent yoof players back to NSWPL and no seniors are "lent" to them, it probably indicates that being involved with CCL adds no value whatsoever to the Mariners.

(Agreed, that the ACL squad has probably taken a few fringe players out of CCL contention).

IMHO, it is critical that the club secure a relationship with a NSWPL club, build their own or invest in CCL so they can aspire to that level.

We still have a gap in player development between HAL seasons and a winter comp in NSW that we dont take advantage of to develop fringe/potential/junior players.

Thoughts?

 

[Wilson]

Preston out??

 

[FFC Mariner]

TBF to the bloke, given the constraints on him ($$, player quality), is there much he can do?

 

[Wilson]

They have a 3 year plan, to be back in PL.

They have a 3 year plan, to be back in PL.

Backed by what sustainable resources? They have some well resourced teams in front of them, and FNSW internal politics to battle.

Exactly, they are on a hiding to nothing. Just hope Shirl can get some wins on the board.
