Mariners hold supporter forum at Ettalong

The Central Coast Mariners will hold a fan forum in Ettalong on Monday, July 22, at the Ettalong Beach Memorial Club from 7pm.

The forum is one of three being held across the Central Coast to provide supporters with the opportunity to engage with the Club.

The community forums will enable fans to air their ideas with the Club and hear from and quiz senior Mariners and A-League management about plans to ensure soccer on the Central Coast continues to grow.

Central Coast Mariners majority shareholder Mr Michael Charlesworth, group general manager Mr Peter Turnbull and A-League head Mr Damien de Bohun will be present at each of the forums.

Mr Turnbull said the club was eager to strengthen its bond with local supporters and connect with new fans.

"These fan forums will provide us with the opportunity to interact with our supporters on a more personal level and provide them with briefings on club initiatives from areas such as youth development and community engagement," Turnbull said.

"More importantly they are about us opening a two-way conversation with supporters, allowing them to provide input to our ideas and plans as we aim to build upon the foundations in place.

"Each forum will have a particular theme," Turnbull explained.

"We'll be concentrating purely on club matters in the second forum at Ettalong."

Central Coast Mariners staff will be present at all three forums to provide additional information to fans as necessary.
