    If your raw base numbers are low even a marginal improvement can look glowing when you represent it in percentages.

    Expanded community, WTF ?. Please APL explain how this metric has any relevance and value add to the A League ???.

    Sitting in McDonald Jones stadium with a bunch of families hearing a pin drop for 90 mins isn't what football should be. 4000 people singing and screaming for 90 mins in some cramped, pain in the arse to get into and out of, stadium sounds like a lot more fun.


    Then, we can actually start to market ourselves as a real league to the rest of the world and make our money from football fans in general instead of trying to convert NRL families over like we do now.

    NRL wishes it was a Seppo sport, we need to try and become a Euro one instead. Seppo owners bribe city officials to build them a new stadium, Euro clubs get the president of the entire nation to beg their star player to stay, lol. Way cooler.
    Filling up stadiums is not rocket science.

    People want to be entertained. That's all. It doesn't even really matter if the team loses so long as they get some dopamine hits from their team scoring goals at the right time in the game ie. not in the last 10 minutes after the score is already 0-3. It doesn't matter that the players are 4 levels below the EPL.

    The problem is that iterations of the FFA/APL and the Jets have sterilized the game day atmosphere. There needs to be a return to game day rituals, superstitions, someone needs to pay a tribute in Styx creek, the "Squadron" or whatever it's called these days needs to just entertain itself and be there for the players, and not worry about trying to get the rest of the crowd into it.

    The Americans have a great tradition of tailgating at games, and just making a day of it and bringing their own enjoyment of the game with them. We just need to stop expecting the club do it for us.

    **** em.

    Fold the club, I'd rather play the bye anyway it's more financially stable than anything down there.

    Was going to suggest they melt down their trophies and sell em for scrap but not having ever won anything it makes it a tad difficult.

    Farewell another whingeing freeloader from our sport.

    May only the strongest survive.

    Another win for Griff.


    Hail Griff.

    Ray Gatt on Twitter also claiming Charlesworth is planning on handing back the license at the end of this season as well. Canberra/Gold Coast/Alice Springs Mariners is back on!

    Seriously though we really can?t go 5 minutes without either us or the Gypos being in some sort of crisis.

    Gatt has always been a mouthpiece for the gypos. This is just the new king gypo having a cry.

    If he thinks he's gonna get one over Conroy he's in for a shock.

    Hand it back, and **** off. No one cares pal.

    Gypo fans on Reddit losing their shit. "You can't not fund the Premiers", "Why did APL fund the Jets (sic)", "No Mariners, no A-League", "Mariners are the biggest regional sports club in the country", "Maybe we will have to have a merger after all".

    Funny coincided with Graham (give all Scum a cap) Arnold chucking it in.

    Not even close to being true either. Geelong has them covered by an absolute mile. And I would also argue NQ Cowboys have them covered too.

    Don?t even have to look that far. The Knights are 10 times bigger than they could ever dream of being.

    Small point but Newcastle ain't regional and hasn't been for a long time.

    Of course there's 374 different definitions as to what 'regional' is but I like the one that says we aint it.


    Gosford and surrounds are just a eyesore. Send their team to Port Moresby no one will know or care.

    **** em

    I agree but I?ll take any metric I can to lay the boot into the Gypos.

    Read the room Aurelio. We're the most patient of fans in the league. We've been patient enough.
