    can't be bothered reading? i'll summarise:

    poppa: "waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaa
    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaa
    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaa
    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaa
    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaah"
    Nothing to do with Adelaide being a better team then Poppa? Hope he doesn't expect sympathy...

    More importantly how about the news that Luca$h is now bankrupt??

    Can see now why he never went gracefully from the Soccerroos and had to be dragged kicking and screaming into NT retirement

    That he's signed Hoffman for two but Kantarovski for one sways me more toward the 'you've got twelve months' theory

    Hope it was whilst living the Georgie Best lifestyle, be most disappointing if he wasted it all on business dealings...

    What everyone make about this idea to have a Jets hone game in Coffs Harbour next season??

    Me personally I think it is a ****ing disgrace and a slap in the face of the 10k of Members who have put up with years of shit to lose a HOME game on Newy to do something like this.

    We ain't the Northern NSW Jets

    We are the Newcastle Jets.

    Play games in Newcastle FFS

    We are no better than Gypos moving games to Canberra FFS

    All a-league clubs have a responsibility to grow the game across the grassroots.

    We've been crying out for better links with nnsw for years.

    Big picture, it's good for the game in regional nsw which is where football still has a stretch to get traction for sponsors and media coverage against RL and Union.


    At least it's not in Bathurst.

    I'm hoping you're talking about the facilities. You obviously haven't seen the pitch in Coffs. Shits all over hunter stadium surface.

    Forgot about the Bathurst debacle.

    I take it the HAlL going gang busters there now after that farce??

    What happens is the locals come out for the one off event and then **** off back to whatever else they are doing

    Play preseason games there play FFA Cup game there

    You don't see any half respecting football club on the planet move serious games to minor towns to try and attract new fans.

    As for regional NNSW one of the drawbacks it isn't the Newcastle Jets responsibility to promote the game in the area.

    It is Northerns


    None of these towns are gonna get an NRL AFL or HAL side ever.
    So why piss into the wind fighting for hearts and minds when it doesn't matter anyway???

    My point ain't about getting an Hal team in coffs. It's was about giving the local football community something to use to cut through into more column inches in local papers, more time on local TV, all stuff that will help grassroots clubs get sponsors and attract players.

    But hey while ever we have millions playing the game and not many of those millions turning up to the elite matches lets just keep ignoring the grassroots.

    Hearts and minds don't matter? Bullshit. Get major regional centres like coffs or tamworth or port Macquarie focussed on the jets, increase TV ratings for jets games due to nnsw towns all tuning in to watch and we might start to be able to argue with broadcasters that we do warrant a Saturday night timeslot and we get less stinking hot Sunday arvo games.

    Their whistle stop tour last year got a whole heap of people in the manning area watching and traveling, and buying merch.

    A better relationship with nnsw might see better links being built with Newcastle/hunter based clubs and benefits flow both ways.
