ergh.. school assignments.. dont get me started.. 'year 10 school certificate blah blah blah'
I dunno, I think the positive response from the community has a big effect on the boys, if they didnt have the suport they do they probably wouldnt play as well as they do becuase the suporters in the stadium encourage them and stuff. Especially the Marinators, im not sure where we'd be without them.
I reckon you should ask Dibo or MarinerMick and etcetera.

I guess the easy answer is tha the community now has something to rally behind. I'm sure the numbers involved in the sport has increased greatly but I couldn't give you numbers.

What Omni said......
And...
The Mariners have a chance of cementing football as the premier sporting code in this district if they can string together considerable success. If they win the HAL next year and then do well in the ACL, there's not another football code that can claim such success at club level, and we have that opportunity right on our door.
This isn't pie in the sky either, the team is very competitive, has done well over the whole of the last two seasons and should improve upon last year's results no end.
A home ACL match with a very competitive Asian team will really bring the whole world of football into the minds of the folks up here on the Central Coast and this possibility is a very real prospect.
In turn, it will help to identify the Central Coast from the metropolis of Sydney and the Newcastle/Hunter region. So often many services and ventures just use the Central Coast as a sub branch of either of these larger regions, but the Mariners are wholly and solely Central Coast based.

Try to work in the regional identity angle (or lack thereof).
Not officially recongnised as a region by various levels of Government, seen as a suburb of Sydney etc etc (You might need research to bak this up)
CCM are our only sporting side in a top tier comp
Focus for regional identity, TV exposure, potential for overseas..........tourism,business relocation,community identity blah blah blah
Front of Yellow Pages etc etc

CCMFC is the ONE sporting team that is ours, it puts us on the map nationally.
We are a viable, successful, LOCAL team, one that CLEARLY identifies with this region. In time, the Mariners' success will lead to other sports locating themselves here, like the NRL and the NBL (the NBL is a definite possibility given the demise of the Pirates; remember, there is currently no NBL team between the Razorbacks of Sydney Olympic Park and the Blaze of Carrara).
The Mariners bring people together from all over the place, some of us even F3 it up to Gosford every fortnight. We are a team of the people, by the people and of the people. Look at the VERY positive reaction from the thousands of locals out in Gosford for the pre-Christmas Parade.
In summary for your assignment, it would be a great way to end by saying how much you love your team and how wonderful they are for the community. We are DEFINITELY NOT a slum off the Freeway!!!
Regards,
AM

additionally,
the Central Coast community I believe had a feeling of being disenfranchised by the promise of NRL North Sydney Bears being relocated to the Coast and that they would be identified and re labelled the C.C. Bears, but this never eventuated.
Only to be followed by the 'forced' amalagmation of the Bears with Manly to become the Noothern Beagles which wasn't embraced by the community up here, thus subsequently and rightfully failed.
I feel this abandonment of peoples hopes and aspirations for a national team in any code, which would have lead to the "identity factor", was the primary catalyst for the growth and sucess that the mariners have achieved up till now.
Couple this with the large numbers already playing the code on the coast as well as the contribution of the previously mentioned factors.
Go to any sales seminar and you'll find that the 1st basic principle in sales is that people 'buy' from you as a 'salesperson, business or organization' is because they LIKE you.
2nd reason they 'buy' is because they IDENTIFY with the you and/or the product and/or the service. Be it a style of clothes, a car's colour/price & prestiege (what sort of people have they themselves seen wearing or driving the product, which in turn determines whether they identify or not.)
In the Mariners case "I'm sold!". I believe it's just not a product, that being an entertainment one, it goes deeper than that. The reasons for that could probably be attributed to our love, fascination or some call it an obsession with sport in general.
