If you couldn’t secure stadium tickets for the A-League grand final on Saturday, May 25, don’t despair.
Central Coast Council, with support from the NSW Government, will host a free family-friendly live site viewing of the match at Leagues Club Park, just across the road from Industree Group stadium in Gosford.
The Mariners have brought the Isuzu UTE A-League grand final to Gosford for the first time.
As reigning premiers, their journey to the top has ignited a wave of excitement across the community.
Council CEO David Farmer said a home grand final has the entire community buzzing with anticipation, and ready to rally behind their beloved team.
“We couldn’t be prouder to stand in support of the Mariners, whose relentless determination and passion for the game continue to inspire us all,” he said.
“This is more than just a football match – it’s a chance to be part of something special, a moment where unity and pride converge on the field.”
The free live site event, complete with a giant screen streaming the match live, will commence at 4pm with food, entertainment, live music and activities for all ages prior to the game at 7.45pm.
“Let’s come together to show our unwavering support for the Mariners, united in our passion and enthusiasm,” Farmer said.
Council Administrator Rik Hart said whether you’re attending the game or just wanting to join in the celebrations, the live site offers an unforgettable experience.
Mariners Interim CEO Adam Thomson said the club was thrilled to see the overwhelming support from the Central Coast community heading into the grand final.
“The energy and enthusiasm of our fans are what drive us, and having a live site in Gosford means everyone can be part of this special occasion,” he said.
“We are grateful for the support of the Central Coast Council and the NSW Government for the opportunity to elevate the atmosphere around the stadium precinct.
“The live site event is a fantastic opportunity for our community to come together and celebrate the occasion as one.
“Let’s turn Gosford into a sea of yellow and navy to show the rest of the country what the Central Coast spirit is all about.”
Minister for the Central Coast David Harris said thousands of fans were expected to converge on the live site on Saturday to cheer the team to victory.
