Midfielder from the Mariners here and wish to share with you a little radio promotion that has got a lot of people talking on the coast. Could maybe work for Nix next year

One of the guys trying to win has posted youtube below.
 
How its works one of the local radion stations got life size cut outs of all Mariners players & coaches. Ran a comp for tragic Mariner fans to carrry life size cut out everywhere for a month. The winner gets $ 5, 000.00 so its worth winning. It took a month to choose who would get a cut out, there was a comp just to get a cut out,  so its kinda almost a season of promotion in one game. Funny seeing people in trains walking around the street on bridges; people are very clever in getting their cut outs looked at.
 
To win you have to get the most number of people watching and photos etc. Every day the radio stations talks to cut out holders. Created a real good feel between the media and the Mariners, got lots of people talking on the coast. Radio station very happy with coverage and talk around town. lots of good feeling created on the coast by non football types, and Mariner brand out there each day.
 
A couple of people have got the cut outs on national TV, and even got some of the morning TV shows talking about it. What is also interesting is how other CC radio stations reacted, they (only another 2) they starting giving more time to the Mariners.
 
Hope you enjpoy this guys youtub.

That's quite neat.

Soccer AM do something similar.  You can print out life-sized copies of the show's cast and then take them places and have pics taken with them.  They get some hilarious ones.
 
 
Incidentally if you haven't checked out Soccer AM it is hilarious and well worth a look.  Download it illegally from somewhere today.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

That's pretty hilarious.  As long as it doesn't involve having to listen to a crap radio station, I'd be so keen!

Have you found the Kendal Bar yet.
 
If not it is a must see, its in the Central Coast LEAGUE club.
 
In the middle of a leagues club is this entire bar filled with Mariners stuff everywhere, many say its a leagues club in name only. On match day the staff all in Mariners T Shirts somtimes travelling supportors and Mariners have sing off in club, lift the roof off - but all in good fun , no volience.
 
On match days the place is so alive with people all over the place in club colours, flags, see if you can get to the club about two hours before Mariners V Flying Circus match, wear you NIX's gear,  have a feed and drink if I can find you I will bye you a beer or four or was that six
