Central Coast Mariners v Sydney FC

A lot has been written about this fantastic nine goal game of football, but with the passage of time I'm thinking....

17,500 in Gosford on the Saturday before Christmas, the so-called busiest day of the year must have given Ben Buckley and Co a few early christmas presents.

Perhaps Boxing Day football should be launched. A re-vamp of the Xmas "week-off" and the planning of extra games over the Christmas/New Year period should be considered.

Football is on the rise.
