The Round 16 A-League clash will now be played at Gosford’s Central Coast Stadium.
The 7 February game was scheduled to be played at Brookvale Oval but the game will now revert back to Gosford "after Football Federation Australia (FFA) management and the Club agreed that the Brookvale Oval surface would not be in an adequate condition for play by early February", a media release from the club revealed.
“Warringah Council has taken all possible steps to ensure that the game would proceed as planned, however the current timelines to ready the field of play to strict Hyundai A-League standards following the recent partial laying of a fresh Brookvale Oval surface are now too tight.”
The Mariners currently sit in eighth place on the A-League ladder, level on 12 points with seventh-placed Brisbane Roar but having played a game more.
