Members survey

Towards the end you can put in feedback about the game - I used to to give feedback about the coach and how my family membership wont be renewed next year if he is still here.
My feedback;
Quote:
The atmosphere at the moment in the ground is non existent. I don't believe this is due to results alone as the club has been in a similar position for the last 4-5 years.
Whether the club likes it or not, there is large resentment towards the club (especially the coach) over the way the removal of senior players was handled and his puzzling tactical choices during games. People are sick of excuses like;
- The squad is small and fatigued (the coach made the decision to remove 5 senior players and Flores)
- The squad isn't good enough (see above, they were experienced players)
- I didn't pick the squad (this is a cop out)
At the end of the day there is 10,000+ current members and close to 50% are no turning up to sit in seats they have already paid for. The club needs to look within and ask why. Do you expect these people will suddenly turn around and buy another membership next year?
My family will be back next year, we love football and we love the Jets, but if you get out and talk to the membership base, the current results are only a minor contributor to the crowd/atmosphere drop. There is a massive disconnect between the current coach and fans and it is driving people away. There is a large apathy towards the club that began with the "clean out". This widening chasm between the club and fans needs to be repaired if the club wants to come even close to breaking 10,000 members next season.
First and foremost the club needs to look at how to retain these existing members. Free tickets and the like are not the solution. Results may help, but when the coach said the club needed a culture change, he wasn't wrong, but he is very much a part of the culture that is driving people in droves from the games.
I'm not sure how long the club can stick its head in the sand, but there longer it goes on the worse the community connection will become.
Similar to mine.
I included in my feedback about the highlight of the match: The Squadrons stubbins out banners.
Thanks for the support.Quote:

Would be great to see a pile of other people get into the equation and fill the stadium with banners in the next 2 games stating their disgust at the way the club has been run.
You need to start enlisting your Justice League Super Best Friends Super Fans to mobilise.Quote:

Plastic the lot of ya :rof:
i hate to say it, but we have definitely improved in recent weeks
still he's done nowhere near enough to warrant remaining in charge
^ recent weeks being the last two?
We were woeful against City, maybe even worse than the 7-0 loss.
If Western Sydney played their first team they would have creamed us
Yep...Quote:

Call me when the team deserve me back.
(Probs go on Monday tho).
This is exactly what I hammered home in the Jerkstream podcast. We beat what was pretty much a youth side - and their youth side came second last in the NYL season!Quote:

Just went on All Sport Show Podcast to talk about jets. Discussion around Perth game and how Perth might get wooden spoon. I managed to slip in its just another thing Stubbins can't win. Thought it was missed but no they picked up on it!
Serious question. When did you lose faith in stubbins? Was it a particular match? Event? Do you still have faith in him?
For me I thought we started the season ok. We were unlucky round 1 v Mariners and played some ok football early on. For me it was the capitulation against Wellington when we conceded 3 in 7 minutes that did me.
The problems started when the Johnny Steele Affair came to light - something seemed wrong in the background.
IIRC my thoughts on Stubbins went like this:Quote:

- didn't take a heap of notice of him in Thailand, but was happy enough with his appointment and chose to be content, but fence-sit, on how I judged him at the Jerks.
- quite liked the squad list that was put together at the start of the season, even had optimism on Montano and particularly Steele.
- didn't mind we lost the FFA Cup game. Thought it'd take time for his team to gel, I think from memory Montano wasn't there yet, Flores was still injured and I think he was playing Jeronimo out wide too. Figured things would sort out over time.
- talked to Craig Goodwin's uncle (or maybe it was second cousin, can't remember) about Craig leaving, and I started to have doubts over Stubbins and his methods.
- was bored to death in the Coast away game. Had no faith whatsoever in Stubbins that he'd start Taylor Regan in centre mid.
- typical Jerks for the Wellington and Perth away games, I refuse to even get slightly optimistic about those games in any context.
- the game that I completely, without doubt, lost faith in Stubbins was the Brisbane 4-0 loss at home. That was (at the time) the most boring, deflating home game I've witnessed from the club.
- it's all been downhill for Stubbins since then.
- the player sackings only furthered my discontent (and hatred) for him.
- Every game hurt to watch, the one that hurt the most was the home game v City when Koren ran riot. That game was to me as bad as the Roar game.
- I still to this day haven't watched the 7-0 loss, I can't bring myself to.
Love Newy, Hate Stubbins.
the day flores tweeted that he wasn't injured and the coach wasn't selecting him.
most technically gifted player in the squad not getting a run is ****ing ridiculous
