That Indian league must be paying broadcasters to take it. Unless there really are that many Indians in Aus that are interested in it?

 

i seriously doubt there is, in general indians dont give a **** about football

Yes they do, they are made for the 'EPL'...you can't walk down a street in a major Indian city without seeing a Premier League shirt.

 

They just don't play it very well.

 

There are some areas like Bengal and Goa where you could argue that football is at least as popular as cricket if not more.

I'm guessing it is the heat :lol:

 

It's a man's game..they should be able to take the heat !!

 

 

If AFL were a curry it would be a bland boring butter chicken. Which is quite apt considering that  is a bastardised dish just like AFL is a bastardised game from different sources combined.

At least as a club and sport we get an opportunity to take our club and our game to people around the world via the AFC and WCC,while the AFL clubs get the chance to take theirs to Bendigo China.

 

True,but they play another AUSTRALIAN club,not a Chinese club. :xnod:

The Central Coast Mariners have today unveiled their bold vision for Central Coast Stadium that has been formally presented to the Stadium’s current owners and operators, Central Coast Council in a bid to transform the venue into a world class entertainment hub.

Mariners’ owner Mike Charlesworth has instructed the club to formally present a management rights proposal to council, citing concerns that the current business model does not facilitate best practice which contributes to the lack of growth and improvement of Central Coast Stadium.

 

Central Coast Stadium was officially opened in February 2000 and has remained relatively untouched during its 17-years-of-existence which has resulted in the venue become dated and in need of immediate attention.

 

The Mariners’ five stage concept has been devised to ensure Central Coast Stadium meets stadium best practice and becomes a weather friendly, football friendly and digitally connected stadium that can facilitate Westfield W-League double headers and more. Following the upgrades, Central Coast Stadium would be in contention to host concerts, bigger events and trade seven days a week through café and retail precinct.

 

The main components of a stage one upgrade to Central Coast Stadium include:

 

Dual big screens in the south east and north west corners of the venue

Weather/sun protection over the northern grandstand

Yellow seats

Additional change rooms

Wi-Fi compatibility

State of the art sound system

Upgrade of the corporate facilities (including a 100-seat function room)

Retail and café precinct

The Central Coast Mariners five stage concept also includes a hotel with unmatched views of Brisbane Water.

To encourage investment into the Central Coast Region, the club’s concepts for Central Coast Stadium fall within a broader campaign that promotes #GrowthForGosford encouraging all community leaders, politicians, developers and anyone that has a vested interest in the growth of Gosford to stand up and present their vision for a better Gosford.

The Central Coast Mariners next home game against Perth Glory on January 28 will be dedicated to the vision to grow Gosford and the club is formally inviting anyone who has a view for Gosford to present at Central Coast Stadium on game day. The aim is to not only present the Central Coast Mariners’ vision for Central Coast Stadium but unite all stakeholders who believe in #GrowthForGosford.

 

Central Coast Mariners Chief Executive Officer, Shaun Mielekamp is inviting all community leaders to attend our match on January 28 to present their ideas for Gosford. He said as the club continues to grow the Stadium must improve.

 

“As the Central Coast Mariners continue to grow, Central Coast Stadium must grow with us,†Mielekamp said. A necessity for our region is the improvement of Central Coast Stadium that is the only flag bearer for major infrastructure development in Gosford’s CBD over the past 17 years.

 

“Whilst there are certainly some hurdles ahead, we are confident there are also solutions. We cannot do this alone and need the stadium and infrastructure to grow if we have any chance of fulfilling our potential.

 

“New revenue opportunities presented by the stadium will empower us to invest long term towards our football resources. Our football will reap the rewards of the club’s growth and it is important to understand that this is a long term play for us to compete with the big four clubs who are growing bigger and faster every day.

 

“Unfortunately, in the last 17 years the only thing that has changed at the stadium is the height of the palm trees. Whilst it is the small day-to-day things that hinder events at the stadium such as a poor sound system, long bar and canteen lines, accessibility and weather protection – these frustrations, if unaddressed, are merely the tip of the ice-burg.

 

“The worst thing that can happen is nothing. Our main priority is to drive change and growth. If the Mariners aren’t going to do it, then who is?

 

“The stadium is now and will always be our home. Like any home, the stadium can get tired and need some love and energy injected to keep it thriving,†Mielekamp said.

Mate of mine said Wanderers v Perth was on live in the UK. Around 9am Sunday morning their time.

That would be because UK is 11 hours behind Sydney time.

 

Or around 40 years if you go north of the border. :P

It would indeed. I didn't know that they show HAL games live

BT Sport show them all live. You can watch them live streaming here via BT on the alternative viewing channels.

Yes BT show the games I get messages from family and friends who have gone back to the UK but still follow a league, during the games

Also, how the **** does a stadium achieve "Wi-Fi compatibility"?

just heard on the news about how the wanderers are involved with a road safety campaign i mean we have all seen it at the stadium but something about a new video or something, good to see the club trying to help with a problem

It's that 'Who do you slow down for?' campaign.

 

The team chose to slow down in attack for Perth on New Year's Day

Actually some boys from Goa sat near us at Pirtek last year and told us that Goa is Portuguese and they rate football above everything, including cricket.  It is different from other part of India because of their different heritage.

Dengate didn't envisage any major problems from the family-friendly Big Bash crowd, but had a stern warning for any soccer supporters who planned to let off any flares.

 

 

typical...sokkah hooligans ruining it for the drunk bogans next door

It's okay, they will all be reported to "Soccer Australia." Perhaps they will be banned from the 98 WC qualifiers.

Yeah Goa has a massive Portuguese influence, for example they have a club called Vasco de Gama.

 

That Cockerill article is easily the worst sports article I've ever read. Absolute nonsense.

TBH I don't think the big bash will have many evictions. For a start it's mainly kids who go and it's all over after 3 hours. The cricket has a problem when it's an all day event like a test or a one-dayer and blokes are on the juice for the whole day.  The Big Flash is just an over-hyped, sanitised circus. No-one gets thrown out of a big top do they!

Have you tried to get sloshed on mid-strength beer at the cricket? 3 hours is just not enough
