Some may ask the question where are these people every other week at Stade de Newy and why ain't they Active.
Question I ask is why have Bay 2 alienated so many people that they won't go stand with the Squadron week in week out and only turn up at F3 Derby days in Shitford??? Is it people/ideals What is it that keeps our potential active support stuck at 100-300
agreed here.Quote:

they also have no idea about the time effort that everyone puts into tifo and the like.
It doesn't help in a country where a majority of fans have been brought up in the sit down, shut up mentality, eat ya sausage rolls and drink your coke.Quote:

The reason is simple. Away support at Bluetongue is designated as two bays. Home support at Hunter Stadium is the whole stadium minus one bay. At away games people can buy seats elsewhere, but for the most part the majority get seats in or around the away bays.Quote:

I don't sit with the squadron, but I have always wondered why it doesn't grow, but when you have a 30,000 seat stadium and 12,000 crowd, people can stay away from it. Go to an away game and people are forced together.Quote:

Is there any communication between different supporter groups. No harm in seeing how other groups like the RBB have managed to grow so quickly. Do they communicate better outside of games or is there some other reason it works so well for them.
Some fair points Militiamon but for some reason people come out of the woodwork and find voices they don't normally have on home outings.Quote:

MFKS, were you the one who did the tactical fall when the secco came barging through?
Me agree. Far better looking down the field as an active supporter then craning your neck whilst singing etc.Quote:

South Terrace FTW
It was once explained to me that It was felt that the noise made by the squadron would be lost in an open air environment (I.e the southern hill).
I don't know how correct that would be, given the openness of the stands, so pose the question, why not trial the southern hill for a game? Your more hardcore types would gravitate towards the seats at the front, while your teenager/look at me types would be more likely to hang off the periphery, and join in as they feel inclined.
Given the hill appears to be one of the more densely occupied areas of the ground, you may get more joining in chants, hence creating more atmosphere.
At worst, it will be a total flop and the group can head back to bay 2.
I'm not advocating a change as such, but it can't hurt to discuss it.
I like the idea if it's one game however possible problems with over crowding may occur.
Open air environment is not an issue for RBB... They sure make plenty of noise... Real issue moving to south hill would be related to the seats directly behind the goal posts if they are reserved season holder members??.., but cohabitation with Zads Lads would be greatQuote:

Trust me this has been discussed numerous times, but until they see fit to upgrade the Southern Hill, we are stuck with bay 2.
BYO Chair?Quote:

Agree something needs to be done re positioning of away bay and our active support
the new corner terraces would be the business, i.e. bay 60, leads down to a focal point
ain't nothing gonna change though, get used to it
We have already established you are stalking me:whistling::rof:Quote:

We have had numerous conversations with the Jets each preseason to try to get the away support moved to the western stand across from us, but have been told its not going to happen due to logistics of moving season ticketholders from that area, as well as the location of regional members seats nearby.
hell even the curved bay in the north east of the stadium would be better, nobody sits there generally...
you mean between the away bay and the dry hill?Quote:

opps meant north west lolQuote:

" M8 i don't get it. what the hell made this dickhead to call call us jets supporters especially the member of the squadren "Bogans" As a passionate jets supporter i feel completly insulted because bogans are the type of people who as a ruteral only whatch AFL or Rugby (both codes) in the winter and only watch all types of cricket in the summer and when attending games they aways sit in there seats stairing at the game like that he or she is a zombie. we are known to very voicetruss supporters as we are very passionate on the game and Newcastle Jets."
:rof:
r u voicetruss m8?
voicetruss may become the new squillions
voicetruss ffs
it could become a new ruteral
Voicetruss :roflz: loving it
Voicetruss 2013.
Should rename the thread "Voicetruss Support Feedback Thread" in honour of this ingenuity.
who is this voicetruss supporter?
also, was looking up the Portland Timbers wiki page this morning and found this gem
clearly, this is what our active support bays need, more European-style rootingQuote:
The group began congregating in section 107 to create a European-style rooting section for the club, complete with drumming, flags, scarves, smoke bombs and constant chanting and cheering.
