Q-man is the first against the wall.
I want the Dineaway chicks to pull the trigger.
LONG LIVE KING HARRY!!!!!!!
dineaway is the sole reason this club is in the mess it is in now mate
I guess I was merely speculating.
Didn't Melbourne Heart's "active support" change their name when they became City. It was that type of thing. But seeing as we know now the name of the club is not changing it makes that point partially irrelevant.
The other side to it was that I know that unfortunately there is a stigma from many Newcastle Jets members towards the Squadron. I was thinking that as the club was having a fresh start, the active support can also. This could allow those others who unfortunately hate the squadron but want to support the Jets to be more likely to want to get involved. But I guess what we would probably see that unless results drastically improve and the bandwagon effect comes into play it would turn out as the same group in active support
No worries, I have thought myself what would we do if the club was renamed. Pretty sure it will remain jets though.
I still don't understand where the anti-squadron comes from. That thought is surely part of a bygone era when things were different in the way the squadron was operated and interacts with the wider fan base. I also think this view point isn't as wide spread as you think. I spent a heap of time this season trying to get to games at gates open to talk to people, introduce myself, encourage participation and build relationships. On the whole this was positive. Even got at least one hater to turn.
Times are a changing. I don't think there is another group out there willing to put the hours into a new group, or a) they would be doing it already, or b) they would be assisting the squadron. (If there are those out their with the drive that want to be involved, contact me, I have upcoming projects that need man hours, would love some help)
On a side note it would be good if the terrace and squadron took off this season. Both I think are beneficial.
Go jetties
we need to organise hats the shape of crocodiles
These are all good points, a meeting is going to be organised in a few weeks after everything has calmed down.

Attn: Q-man.
I had a Dineaway today.
Place was packed. Business looked like it was booming.
How is your Squadron looking?

This thread now seems more pertinent with the growing popularity of the NCL...
