Surely Canberra can beat this?

More than 3,000 riding the wave in season three for the Matiners. Great news and big increase, but surely Canberra with it's football fans and numbers can beat this figure when the A-League teams gets started.

For more on the Mariners wave....


The Central Coast Mariners’ early season success on the field has been duplicated off it, with Mariners Membership numbers surpassing 3,000 in recent days ahead of the Mariners’ Hyundai A-League match up against the Perth Glory at Bluetongue Stadium this Sunday.



Having registered 600 Members in season one and 1,800 in season two, the Mariners’ landmark achievement in 2007/08 illustrates the staggering growth the club has enjoyed since their inaugural fixture in May 2005.



The rapid escalation in Membership numbers experienced by the Mariners is comparable, at least in terms of ratio to most mainstream sporting clubs in Australia, including those in the AFL and NRL.


The Mariners Membership base has been expanded by 60% in season three, following on from a 300% increase from season one to season two.
