Looks exactly like the ones Todd has been supplying the good people of Newy in recent times. Think he charged me $50 for the exact same thing and someone wants $120 on EBay for it.Quote:

Newcastle Jets had their first A-League victory on this day 10 years ago.
2-1 victory over Sydney FC. Milicic and Johnson score early and Yorke comes off the bench to get one back late. Corbo and Corica (I think - not got my info in front of me) sent off. Corica (straight) for bad challenge on Bridge and Corbo for the ensuing melee (2nd bookable)
Hello!
I can not find anywhere the exact date of foundation of the club (day, month, year). Everywhere specified date - 2000.
If anyone knows, please write
I will be very grateful! Thank you so much!

Ben Kennedy
Adam D'Apuzzo

ON THIS DAY:
The Jets entered the Asian Champions League for the first time. They lost 2-0 to Beijing Guoan with one of the goal scorers being non other than Ryan Griffiths.

All 3 Griffiths brothers appeared in this match.
Also, had an interesting conversation with a guy last night whose father was part of the original 3 people to form the Breakers back in the day and build the stadium at Birmingham Gardens. This was intially back in the day when the Breakers were part of the local league - not representing the town in the national competition.

Taggart wasn't allowed to due to his image rights tied in with his sponsors and the WC squad.Quote:

Compared to what we have now.
OTD 2015: A hail storm prior to a match sees 4162 people attend a Hunter Stadium clash with Perth Glory.
Jets lose 2-0 but the biggest talking point is the unfurling of a banner saying "Enough Failure, Lies + Arrogance. 10000 Fans Demand The Muppet Gone"

As always, love your work mate.

Peter Willis as well as former directors of various club incarnations David Brown and Eddie Boards.
40 years ago today Newcastle KB United played Sydney City Hakoah and lost 1-4. The crowd according to OzFootball records
was 15,067. Kenny Boden scored the club's first goal - a pen.
It's taken 40 years but Saturday night felt like we were back to something of those halcyon days.
May they long continue - with full community support this time.
