is it about being hated though? or is it about being a shadow of its former self? i know i no longer contribute, but the regression has been remarkable
I think this has been mostly due to the gulf left when the larger number of your "generation" left. We are regaining this and closing the gap. But it takes time.Quote:

Thoughts?

hey guys,
new to the forum and the whole active support/squadron following the jets. I'd just like to voice my opinions about the club and support.
First, I feel the club reeeaaalllyyy lacks identity. This starts with the colours.. The new 15/16 kits have been revealed for example, and on this forum I see ideas for a supporters scarf with the emerald/cinnamon. I just dont see the point of having a scarf that isnt remotely like the clubs colours (i get the whole history argument but c'mon..) I constantly see lots of jets fans wishing for GOLD to make a comeback but I cannot stand gold. I honestly think it is the worst colour in the whole spectrum to have. It looks absolutely horrible and i do not see how anyone could want that.. I've always been a fan of the black and white away kits previously worn by the jets and even the emerald/cinnamon has been quite nice. BUT.. I think the jets should stay with the red and blue. primarily because of the bloody colours of the stadium. For people that say they want to be distinguished from the Knights, I can sort of understand that but Newcastle should be ONE proud city, no matter the code. take for example the city of Pittsburgh in the US. Their football team (NFL), baseball team and hockey team are all almost the exact same colours (Black/yellow.. or black with a paler shade of yellow) and this WORKS!
To put it simply, if the jets went back to wearing gold.. I would not support them! thats how bad i find gold to be. and i know plenty of people that think the same..
Last point, I want to join the squadron but I dont want to be watching football with about 200 12 year old's around me.. Its just so lame.. and I think the squadron should be based on one of the hills. If you want numbers to grow, the active support should be at least visible from the TV camera view. The club should promote one hill to be a 'family hill' and the other for "active" support..
Let me know your opinions..
Welcome to the foz..

Oh and welcome to the mad house.
When you say "FFA won't allow Active Support on the Southern Hill" ...
how does that work.. your not allowed flags/banners and noise? Surely it's just a means of people gathering on the hill rather than a certain bay? how do they police no active support on the hill?
a packed out stand/hill behind the goals is glorious. I would love to see that
Plastic fan or piss poor trollQuote:

WRT Pittsburgh colours, where do you think they got them from? Their city flag/emblem.
Where do you think the emerald and Cinnamon come from? I'll let you figure that out on your own....
Hang in there Sam
Good news on one your points hopefully coming soon.
If our colours change to gold and you stop supporting them as you claim you would then you are a quintessential plastic fan.Quote:

Don't mind the Member - he's vehement in his views
On your squadron point, the ideas listed for scarves were months ago. We are in the process of getting scarves redesigned to launch this season, and if anyone had any design ideas pressed feel free to post them in the appropriate thread.
E&C are our traditional colours, however there was also an anti red & blue sentiment last season due to a hangover from Tinkler.
Also, the 200 12 yr olds standing in the squadron were the only ones showing up. So if you want to raise the average age - join us. All are welcome.
