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 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.

Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

Yesterday afternoon I was able to take dad to the Mariner`s training grounds as he personally wanted to thank the players,staff and management for the support they have given him.
When we arrived we were immediately greeted by Brian Kaltek who gave dad a huge hug.
Fairdinkum his arms went around dad 3 times he is so big.
Then Nectar Triantis came out with the same reaction, followed by Maxi. All called dad by name and by then the tears were flowing. Nectar went and got Monty who was quickly followed out of the change rooms by Matty and Shaun who also couldn`t resist giving dad a huge hug.
The next one out was the Cumdingo resplendent in only his jocks and Nizzy who just managed to grab a towel who also got in on the act.
Dad was overjoyed & I was a teared up mess. The outpouring of love for dad was incredible.

And then came another golden moment when dad asked the Cumdingo face to face if he was leaving?
The answer was "he hopes to be here but if he`s not he wants to make the club a few million dollars.
When dad pressed him further his answer was "My heart is here,I love this club and I hope i`m here next year".
As we were leaving Shaun rang Dan the Man who was up in the office and within minutes he was down hugging dad with tears streaming down his face. I sincerely hope that when the Mariner`s legend board goes up Dan the Man is close to the top.His support and genuine love of the Mariner`s fans is beyond belief.

This club is such an amazing organisation, with such incredible people I cannot put into words the feelings and love dad and myself have for them.
For both of us ,with hands on heart , it will always be MARINER`S `TIL I DIE

Thanks so much for sharing this interaction.

What a brilliant little football club we have and the current squad makes me the most proud I’ve ever been, this story proves it.

The worrying figure is our home ground average is only 6,600, a fair bit less than the KPI of 8,500 set by Richard before he will buy.

That figure is for 13 home games. i.e. includes 1408 at Mudgee. CCS average is 7082 - still well below the KPI.

Overall we have run as just over 76% of the League average total. This year we are running at nearly 88% of the League average and up around 35% on last year.

Plenty of work to do but also plenty of upside. With an ALW side there is the potential to attract new supporters (especially to double headers) and two new teams coming in for the 2024-25 season should give the whole league a bit of positive coverage. A few more good seasons wouldn't hurt either!!

That was a longer term goal though wasn't it - not an immediate goal for this season?

I also recall he said that there was going to be some significant effort put into making the game more of an event, as part of his strategy for lifting the crowd to his target figure. i don't recall anything material in that regard
