Hope all the bay knows all the anti coast songs & not just the easy "we hate coast scum" chant.
the younger ones probably wont SD
Nice. Any thoughts on spreading more of the regular guys across the front of 2 sections of the bay? I wonder if you get a decent spread of people leading the front of two sections whether more would stand behind them.....I reckon at the moment we've got quite a few that are sitting in the seats between the "active group" and the hill that just don't quite get into it because they're out on the own/not in the middle with the group. Maybe it's been tried before my time....just a thought.
Not really mate, I think we have mainly concentrated on getting that middle block full and co-ordinated before we moved to expanding beyond that. It has been good that the sides have been joining in the active support though
Just an idea, maybe when Body is on the Mega have Toby on the front edge of bay 60 to try to entice the other bay to join in and vice versa when Toby is on the Mega.Quote:

Definately great effort by those two especiallyQuote:

Also screw the hate you've been getting about the kiddies, haters gunna hate and Newy is full of Tall poppies.
However another idea and I'm not sure if it's happened already, but try to observe who of the "Kiddies" is influencing the other's and get them on the Mega for a chant here and there just to make them feel more welcome and involved.
Agreed, it definitely makes it easierQuote:

Remember the brother and sister team, primary school aged and giving it the big ones last season. Great stuffQuote:

was @mongs taken?
saw quite a few people turned away by the security guards. so either the message about getting the special tickets isn't getting through to some of the fans, or the message about the tickets isn't getting through to the security guards.
good noise though in the second half. call and response seemed to work reasonably well.
whats stopping the GA folk sitting on the seats next to the fence and joining in?
Not too sure on this but I've got my season pass now & fine. Might ask a few squadron guys I know if they are still having ticketing issues.Quote:

Get a result on sunday night and then we should see a decent turnout in bay 42 for sydney fc at home. Finally a saturday game too :)
A saddening statement from the Squadron this morning. Thank you to all those involved in bringing us some iconic image not just for Newcastle football, but for Australian Football and Australian Sport.
But most of all - thanks for fighting for as long as you have. Without the few behind the scenes who originally established the Squadron or continued to undertake organisation of the group, active support would have perished years ago.
Football games won't be the same without the noise you generate.
While not lost to the club or the region, I wish you all every success in the new ventures of the supporters club - because let's be honest (and for those that don't know), this forum wouldn't be here without the Squadron funding it.
The full statement for those wondering

And thanks Dave for the kind words. Been coming for a while, but still sad day.
Who is Dave?Quote:
