Because they way that places like FFT have beeing going on that the NSL was so violent what you are saying that me and my family who attended NSL matches are all criminals and I find that very offensive, and inturn you are calling your family that to can you see that? May I ask, when did I say you were criminals? That has got to be one of the dumbest things I have ever read, PAOKTZI. When I, and I am sure most football fans, talk about violence in the old NSL, are referring to a minority and that minority really gave the NSL a bad name. Again, a very dumb post, PAOKTZI. Personally, my religious beliefs can never be compared to who I support in football. In the end it is just a game. Sydney Olympic are a NSWPL club and HAKOA are a top-tier football club. I doubt we will ever see the two clubs clash, in a competitive fixture. And if they somehow do, then it will come down to specific circumstances but I will always be Sydney Olympic in heart. You cannot debate that, PAOKTZI. It is my personal belief mate. |

You cannot debate that, PAOKTZI. It is my personal belief mate. By talking in a general way and saying the nsl was full of ethnic violence and posting dumb links to violence and blaming ethnicity for it is ridicilous, you are saying that we the supportters of NSL clubs re criminals who go to football to be invovled in violence. I would not think that you, your fatjher, and grandfather are criminals, I would say far from it but by linking us to this over exagerated bs you are saying that wheather you are smart enough to realise it or not is another question. When SOFC gets back into the top flight and if SCH (Sydney City Hakoa) are still in the top flgiht you will feel like a scum bag and I pitty you for that but stop now and you wont have these issues in the future. and look CCM mariners get 8,200 to their first home game, big fail for another club. This debate on the current Gay Leagueclubs will hot up and we will never support them until we are let into the comp on equal grounds like everyone else as SYDNEY OLYMPIC FC |

I have said that the MINORITY have given the NSL a bad name, and I never even linked ANY of the violence to Sydney Olympic. Please understand my post before you go off typing false information. |

Optimism as Mariners set course for bright future
Michael Cockerill
August 18, 2010
CENTRAL Coast Mariners are in the process of shaking their ''unfashionable'' tag and, when the dust settles, new chairman Peter Turnbull believes the club with a reputation for over-achieving will be one of the most successful and stable in the country.
It has been a frenetic six months for the Mariners following their worst season but, just two rounds into the new term, pessimism has been replaced by optimism as enormous progress is made on and off the park.
A revamped Central Coast side has an early share of the competition lead, there are signs the crowds are on the way back, and Turnbull is hailing new boss Graham Arnold as ''the best coach in the country'' and remains confident the club's $40 million Centre of Excellence at Tuggerah will eventuate regardless of the outcome of this weekend's federal election.
''These are exciting times for the club, no doubt about it,'' said Turnbull, a property developer who has been major stakeholder for the past four years. ''The first five years of the Gay Leaguehave been a roller-coaster for the everyone, not just the Mariners, but we're confident that the programs we're now putting in place are here to stay. The foundations were started by Lyall Gorman [former Mariners shareholder and now the boss of the A-League], and we've built on them. We intend to be a strong club, a successful club, for the next 50 years. That's what it's all about.''
Arnold has rebuilt the side, which slumped to eighth last season, bringing in nine new players and focusing on an evolution of style. The early signs are encouraging - a win and a draw in the opening two rounds - and while the attacking side remains a work in progress, the impending inclusion of Argentine playmaker Patricio Perez after his fitness problems should be a catalyst. It's also likely the Mariners will sign an attacking guest player before Christmas.
Locally, the word is out that the Mariners are working to become more entertaining, and last weekend's crowd of more than 8000 for the visit of Adelaide United was a significant show of faith.
''We thought it was a good crowd for a Sunday afternoon, when a lot of local catch-up games were being played,'' Turnbull said. ''We've handed out 4000 junior memberships, and it showed us that our community initiatives are working.''
Turnbull has been impressed by Arnold's enthusiasm for his new job after a decade working with the national teams. ''We know we've got the best coach in the country - he's the perfect fit at the perfect time,'' Turnbull said. Arnie is going to prove how good he is this season.''
But perhaps the most crucial factor in securing the club's future is the Centre of Excellence. The Labor Party has pledged $10m towards the project, while the Liberal Party last weekend dipped its toes into local football by pledging $3m towards an upgrade of nearby Pluim Park.
HAHAHAHA, they gave out 4000 free memberships and only got 8,000 people to the game, how mnay fans do these people really have? THIS IS A JOKE

Sounds like the FFA really did their homework when considering a second QLD bid for the A-League. For an Gay Leagueside to only allow 5000 people into the stadium is a joke. Long live the FFA.
