Mudgee's maddest Mariners fan

Published on 09 March 2022

Ashley Webber is claiming the title of Mudgee’s maddest Mariners fan, having supported the club since its formation in 2004.

The local father is elated the club will make their way to Glen Willow in less than two weeks to take on Macarthur FC in round 19 of the Isuzu UTE Men’s A-League.

“I am the biggest Mariners fan in Mudgee by far, I have no doubt,” Ashley said.

“This jersey has made the rounds at Woolies and Coles plenty of times and around the town. I am very keen for this game, ready for game day already, can’t wait, only two weeks. I’ll be at the game among the yellow army.”

Council has partnered with the Mariners to deliver this event with funding through the NSW Government’s Regional Events Acceleration Fund.

“As my colleagues and friends will know, I have been in a few people’s ears about this over the years, I think it’s great,” Ashley said.

“It’s difficult for me to get back up to the coast to make the games so having them in our own backyard and being a mad fan it’s just a really exciting experience and I think it’s great for the club, the town and the game.

“Game day is a great experience for a neutral and a Mariners mad fan like myself. The atmosphere is great, you get to see top flight soccer in Australia. I would encourage everyone to get out there and see the players and experience a bit of soccer culture.”
