Tbh, I don't personally know. I'd say most, if not all of those who reside on the central coast though. I don't actually know the percentage of CC residents, as opposed from Sydney or elsewhere. Remember though, these are the people who are paying for NO RETURN, in the hope that they'll see their club again. If their team gets back in, I would hazard the guess that they'd want to actually go and see them play as well!! One would also expect that for ticketed memberships, there would be even more people interested (ie, when they receive a tangible benefit or return on their cash, they will be happier making the outlay).
I don't know of the current figures, but a few years ago there were some 7000-odd Mariners ticket holders. A lot of those only became supporters in the first place because it was the ONLY option to see professional live sport in the region (on a regular basis of course). I personally know dozens of residents who would take up membership of a bears team (some at the expense of their mariners season tickets, some in addition to). Not all of these people are currently members of the CC Bears.
