TOPICS: It's still the F3 Derby 

Promotional material ahead of tonight’s clash has depicted an M1 roadsign graffitied to read ‘‘F3’’, and Mariners coach Phil Moss has weighed in.

‘‘I know our staff met with the Jets and Football Federation Australia last year and everyone agreed that the F3 Derby name should stay,’’ said Moss.

‘‘As far as I am concerned it will always be the F3 Derby – that’s what it started as nine years ago and that’s what I still look at it as. I know the supporters feel the same and certainly the players do.’’

It brings to mind the ‘‘Joel’’ Griffiths Road graffiti (pictured) of a few years back. With the F3 question settled, though, what are we now meant to call the Mariners’ home ground, Bluetongue Stadium?

Mariner fan warns

MEANWHILE, a Central Coast supporter warns travelling Jets fans not to expect the red carpet, or any of the canapes with Richard Wilkins that go with it.

The bad blood is because a group of Coasties at the last derby at Hunter Stadium copped a blast from a pop-up sprinkler.

‘‘Look how those ungracious Jets treat us Mariners boys,’’ said our Mariners correspondent.

‘‘Fans were singing the ‘bogan’ song, but that’s no reason to pull out the water cannons.’’

He dubbed it the ‘‘Tinkler Sprinkler’’. Will the Mariners seek revenge with a Singleton Spray? A Coastie Cannon? A Jet Stream? Then again, it might just rain.
