Furns (@SquadronNewy) DrEmma (@Synapse101) & Anthony (@_ascarcella) preview @Aleague Rd7 #F3Derby @NewcastleJetsFC vs @CCMariners at @MJStadium
After the opening question, the panel discuss the general impressions around the upcoming game on Sunday, before a detailed discussion on the squad and likely starting XI, and what tactics are required to win.
We then jump into an interview that Furns (@SquadronNewy) conducted with Brendan (@BrendanOz) to discuss the Mariners perspective for the upcoming match – going into their inconsistent start to the season, their squad and recruitment, thoughts on Paul Okon and his start at the Mariners, likely starting XI and how he sees the match unfolding.
The panel then return to discuss Central Coast’s start to the season, before giving the predictions for the game. The panel then predict the results for the rest of the A-League round and then finish out the podcast with the news of BLK Sport going into administration. Stay tuned after the outro music for the Recovery Lounge segment from the Fill The Hill podcast with Todd and Grant.

Active support is now located in the dedicated active support area in Bays 40 & 41 on the Southern Hill. If you have ever wanted to join active support and try it out, now is the time. We are looking for people to step up and be involved in active support so please come along and join in.
Make sure you purchase a full season or 3 game Squadron membership online or an individual Squadron ticket online (adult ticket only) or from the dedicated ticket window (all tickets) at the Southern Gates to gain entry to the active support area. Also any supporter holding a Jets membership can enter the active support bay by simply showing your card.
FIXTURE FACTS
Overall – 38 matches between the two teams.
Jets Wins – 11, Mariners Wins – 13, Drawn – 14
The Squadron FSC Committee representatives met with Newcastle Jets and MJ Stadium officials on Thursday 10th November.
We wish to thank all supporters who contacted us with feedback regarding active support issues. We have been able to negotiate the following items with respect to active support:
Anyone holding a Jets membership anywhere in the stadium can gain entry into the active support bay at any time without a specialised ticket by simply showing your members card. This negates the need to swap your membership outside the stadium for a specific squadron ticket prior to the match. This will also allow free movement into the bay during the match for those supporters who wish to join in during the game (subject to capacity)
The active support area will be monitored and access will closed off when capacity is reached. If you wish to join active support, you will need to enter the bay prior to it being closed to prevent overcrowding
A common sense approach to children purchasing squadron tickets from ticket windows who won’t be required to submit details if accompanied and purchasing with a parent/guardian
Unfortunately we were unable to get any amendments to purchasing tickets online, only single adult tickets will be available via Ticketmasters website. This is due to Ticketmaster’s system.
Squadron tickets are available for sale at any ticket window at the stadium on gameday, however there will continue to be a dedicated active support window at the Southern entry gates.
We hope that these measures remove some of the barriers supporters have previously experienced when trying to join active support, and that this will have a positive effect on numbers for future games. We must also sincerely thank both club and stadium officials for their willingness to work with us to improve the experience and attendances for active supporters.
