Mariners plan for Bolt bash

USAIN Bolt will headline a Big Bashstyle extravaganza in Gosford on Friday night but only on the proviso it doesn’t impact his push for a $3 million A-League contract.

The Central Coast Mariners are putting the final touches to a blockbuster event including fireworks, dancers and a game against a team of the area’s strongest park footballers.

If everything goes to plan, the world’s fastest man will play up to 15 minutes, likely at left wing, in the 20,000-seat Central Coast Stadium.
