Central Coast Mariners are looking to move a number of home games to North Sydney Oval next season in a bid to curb financial losses, although sources close to the club fear it could lead to an eventual relocation.

The Mariners have already agreed to play one game at North Sydney Oval this season - against the Wellington Phoenix on December 19 - and it is understood that a strong attendance could convince the club to move more home games away from Bluetongue Stadium in a bid to attract fans from south of the Central Coast.

''I think what's more important is that there's a market in North Sydney that I believe is hungry for a professional sporting identity,'' Mariners owner Mike Charlesworth said. ''It's just difficult, as we all know, building a sustainable model with your club based in a relatively small community like Gosford.''

The club's shareholders are losing patience with the rising losses at the club and Charlesworth confirmed that a strategic push into Sydney's northern suburbs was seen as a possible solution to the financial woes. He denied the club would be rebranded or completely up-rooted from the Central Coast
