* Excluding Tim Cahill




The woman who won the first Masterchef is now CCMs #1 ticketholder

Julie Goodwin, Born and raised at Niagara Park, 2 suburbs away from the CCM home ground and is a highly popular presenter on a Central Coast radio station. Is also still producing cookbooks (new one just out) and doing cooking appearances, so a nice link between our local media and our sponsors. Makes sense to me, what do you find awkward about it?

Think I will even quote your post again to once more get the picture up. ;)

I'm curious of this #1 ticket holder thing.  Is it an AFL knock-off ?

And who used to be #1 ? would love to know who she toppled.

Newcastle Jets - Mario Jardel

Adelaide Utd - Romario

Melbourne City - Tim Cahill

Something something plastic franchises.

Something something marketing, metrics etc.

Perth's signed a new marquee



Turned out to be Macron.

Yeah I'll state the obvious. Harry Kewell.

+1

Interestingly it is on Wikipedia as a mainly Australian thing. I actually thought it was a US thing so there you go.
The A-League has had another #1 ticket holder in the past: Melbourne Heart had Jon Bon Jovi in 2010.

Replace 'marketing' with 'player' in the subject title. Who cares what some ego driven PR staffer has to think? 

Definitely an AFL thing. Plenty of clubs around the world have famous fans but don't flog them with any sort of title. 

That attempt by Victory to get kid fans to choose a mascot. Fortunately Victory is a club that listens to good sense and the campaign lasted literally about half an hour before never being heard from again.

Then again, there are plenty that do.

Without being cynical I think it's great when someone with a public profile (even if not with much money) wants to publicly support their team.

Oh dear lol Shame it never happened :D

The second one I think would scare kids. 

I thought the Iron ore cup between Perth glory and Gold coast united was a nothing event.

Roar and their "Exciting times ahead" marketing release, a week later they announced home ACL games were transferred to the Gold Coast. That was as exciting as it got lol

You can just see some marketing guru pitching this to the MV Board.

................."of course its going to work, the kids are going to love it, its going to be edgy and cool"

Since the mascots were brought up, thought I would put all the ones in this post, enjoy.

Skye & Blue = Sydney Fc


Captain Yellowbeard & Admiral Frederick = Mariners


What could have been? Melbourne Victory 


Red the Kangaroo = Adelaide United


Roary the Lion = Brisbane Roar


The stuff of nightmares = Melbourne City

And their first mascot, Ticker

Nixie, after some pingas = Wellington Pheonix

Benny = Newcastle Jets

George the Gorilla, can't take this rascal anywhere. = Perth Glory

Bulut = WSW

Not just AFL. Cathy Freeman was the No.1 fan of the Cronulla Sharks for a number of years after the Sydney Olympics. Peter Costello was then named as the No.1 fan so they could milk government money out of him to upgrade the stadium. I don't think he attended a game.

I thought Ticker was Hayden Foxe

Sydney FCs seventh heaven memorabilia for finishing 7th..

George Calombaris has been the #1 ticket holder at the Victory for a few years now; fellow chef and TV presenter Miguel Maestre was #1 for Brisbane last season.

Pet Memberships.

That kangaroo has gotten into a few to many pingas.

Glory gorilla gets a pass for being an absolute shit and somehow never getting fired lol

Some of the shit that goes down at half time is pretty fucked. Back in the early days if Jihad we had something involving a monkey selling undies.
