Nothing to do with Adelaide being a better team then Poppa? Hope he doesn't expect sympathy...

Poppa salty
More importantly how about the news that Luca$h is now bankrupt??
Can see now why he never went gracefully from the Soccerroos and had to be dragged kicking and screaming into NT retirement
Glory have now signed Chris Herd... they are surely going to close to favourites next year!
This the same bloke who signed the Hoff to a 2 year deal last week??
This the same bloke who signed FingermyClit to a 2 year deal last week??
I sensing his statement you bring up judging by this is nothing but PR bullshit he feeding the masses.
Either that or he is full of shit

What everyone make about this idea to have a Jets hone game in Coffs Harbour next season??
Me personally I think it is a ****ing disgrace and a slap in the face of the 10k of Members who have put up with years of shit to lose a HOME game on Newy to do something like this.
We ain't the Northern NSW Jets
We are the Newcastle Jets.
Play games in Newcastle FFS
We are no better than Gypos moving games to Canberra FFS
All a-league clubs have a responsibility to grow the game across the grassroots.
We've been crying out for better links with nnsw for years.
Big picture, it's good for the game in regional nsw which is where football still has a stretch to get traction for sponsors and media coverage against RL and Union.
At least it's not in Bathurst.
You'll get 6k max at a shit ground in Coffs... And except for the odd exception no one will drive to newy from Coffs to watch Jerks home games at newy stadium on a regular basis...
what's the obsession with trying to get new fans in these places? i for one would be offended if the jerks roadshow came to my town and stunk up the joint
Forgot about the Bathurst debacle.
I take it the HAlL going gang busters there now after that farce??
What happens is the locals come out for the one off event and then **** off back to whatever else they are doing
Play preseason games there play FFA Cup game there
You don't see any half respecting football club on the planet move serious games to minor towns to try and attract new fans.
As for regional NNSW one of the drawbacks it isn't the Newcastle Jets responsibility to promote the game in the area.
It is Northerns
None of these towns are gonna get an NRL AFL or HAL side ever.
So why piss into the wind fighting for hearts and minds when it doesn't matter anyway???
My point ain't about getting an Hal team in coffs. It's was about giving the local football community something to use to cut through into more column inches in local papers, more time on local TV, all stuff that will help grassroots clubs get sponsors and attract players.
But hey while ever we have millions playing the game and not many of those millions turning up to the elite matches lets just keep ignoring the grassroots.
Hearts and minds don't matter? Bullshit. Get major regional centres like coffs or tamworth or port Macquarie focussed on the jets, increase TV ratings for jets games due to nnsw towns all tuning in to watch and we might start to be able to argue with broadcasters that we do warrant a Saturday night timeslot and we get less stinking hot Sunday arvo games.
Their whistle stop tour last year got a whole heap of people in the manning area watching and traveling, and buying merch.
A better relationship with nnsw might see better links being built with Newcastle/hunter based clubs and benefits flow both ways.
Everyone in football has a responsibility to promote the game.
