Thread: Newcastle Football Museum

  1. #1

    Newcastle Football Museum

    Work is progressing on the website and there is some planning going on for the museum too.

    To help get a head start on the museum i'm trying to find out what kind of displays people would actually like to see in a Newcastle Football Museum?

    Thoughts so far.

    - A section for each of KB, Rosebuds, Breakers, United, Jets

    - a section on the Socceroos that have come from the region

    - 100 club - a section dedicated to those who have played 100+ game at national league level for newcastle

    - a section/room for each of the member zones Newcastle, macquarie, hunter valley etc to display various teams incl. Oldest, most succesfull etc

    - womens football

    - timeline for clubs

    What else would you like to see?

    Massive statue of Con (like, at least 20ft high) at the front gates to serve as a reminder to all you ****s that drove him out of town.

    Shame.

    It'd also be cool to have the 07/08 Grand Final, Bristanbul Grand Final (Roar v CCM), and maybe some Season Highlights DVDs of the Jerks playing on a TV screen (much like the HSG megastore next to the stadium does) if you get it up and running.

    It'd be nice to see a (small?) section devoted to the Jetstream fanzines that have been released. It'd be relatively cheap to print a bunch, so people could take them to read or something if they had enough interest?
    OK

    26 issues and counting. Was just thinking people need to start writing again.

    How many do do you have Todd? I can probably get you all except an elusive issue or two

    I think all the files of the zine are on the Facebook page now.

    Easy enough to print, if any are missing I'll see what I can dig up.


    I also got given a 2009/10 members calendar and some temporary tattoos today, I'll get em to you Todd, if you want them

    I do own a complete set of Jetstreams too. I am not entirely keen to part with them though.

    hopefully i'll be having a meeting on monday and i'll have some more information after that as to the location of the museum, it won't be at the Newcastle museum, it will be a museum just for football.

    Nah haven't gone down that path yet, will have a better idea of a way forward after the meeting with Men Of Football and a company who specialises in sports museums on Monday night.

    the trophy is actually a new trophy, the original is with Con probably next to his scotch cabinet. the club has no memorabilia and only has a small number of gold jerseys, any history is with Todd or Con at the sports club

    Should also ask the bloke running the Sports Club if there is anything else floating around in the club not on display as well. There is a lot of wasted space in that joint

    Bloke is a big Jets fan and drinks at the Tenzo on game days and would be able to let you know if there is anything else Jets related not on show in the Sports Club worth asking Con for

    I have spoken with Con a couple of times in the past 18months. Last time was while he was working in the information booth at Parklea Markets.

    I had to check with him to make sure there wouldnt be any issues with using the Breakers / United logos. He gave me the name of someone at the Sports club, i think his name is Chris? Who gave me about 15 Newcastle United players shirts which was great. I will have to get you to introduce me next time at the tenzo member.
