Not sure were to post this so mods move if you want to what you consider a better thread ... nor could I find it posted anywhere so sorry if already posted...
In an interview on Fox yesterday by Gallop on the expansion... has in many ways us Mariners fans cheering him on... but his one line comment on the Nix I have no idea what it means do you guys... Gallop is certainly sending a strong message to Charlesworth wonders is he also sending a message to the Nix owners...
Gallop on the Nix ... BTW the start of the Mariner quote is in the same sentence as the Nix quote...
Gallop with Mariner fans cheering same article... kept putting both quotes in the same quote so the next bit is a quote from the article...
""""but he did have some words for the Central Coast Mariners.
Mike Charlesworth, owner of the Central Coast club, is adamant the Mariners need to branch out into northern Sydney for financial reasons, which is why they have played a couple of their home games at North Sydney Oval.
While Gallop is happy for Charlesworth to experiment with the idea, he is interested to hear how it will affect fans in their “heartland”.
“We’ve been happy for them to run that as a trial and an experiment, but on any view they’ve had mixed results,” he said.
“Ensuring that their core fan base, the community of the Central Coast, is at the heart of all their decision making is very important in our view.
“So when we sit down with the Mariners over the next few months to understand their strategy going forward, we’ll certainly be keen to understand how they intend to maintain their heartland, which is on the Central Coast.""""
