    As always, questions will be moderated by us for language and clear trolling so be respectful in what you ask.
    Don't know why Jeterpool bothered putting that in....some haven't read it or have totally ignored it.

    Two days before we chat with Lawrie, everyone. PLease send your questions in.

    We have questions running on a few social pipes, but we have questions covering the following additional topics:

    * Kit manufacturers - who will be the new kit supplier
    * Communicty engagemetn
    * Recruitment of players
    * Goals for the next season

    When will we see a return to emerald & cinnamon for our playing strips? Remind him that 76% of the members base voted for e&c when asked for input.

    Is there plans to seek input from fans, whether it be design a jersey competition, or voting for jersey choice? Or will kit designs continue to be left solely to the club, and fans have no input whatsoever?

    Whom will be our kit supplier next season?

    To add to up the top about scouting.. what is our current scouting networks we utilise in the club? Is the days of agents dropping DVDs on the desk gone, or do we still use that? Do the club pay people to scout players around the globe, and if so do said scouts do it from Australia, watching on TV, or do they go to games abroad and watch players first-hand at games and trainings?
    OK

    Have you got specific details on this poll so we can take it along as evidence? Was this the vote for the away jersey design one season - a decision between Black & White, Emerald & Cinnamon and plain White?

    with an overwhelming majority of 76 percent picking the City of Newcastle’s official colours
    I can't work out any decent reason why the club wouldn't want to keep more than 3/4 of its fans happy tbh.
    OK

    I was there and the FFA media manager said we would get a vote.

    Unfortunatly the current administration are dealing with the promises of the previous. We will ask it to try and clarify the situation. I think the best outcome would be the club do another poll for members and fans to establish if there is an overall push from the public.

    Now is the time to strike because as it stands, no new supplier has been announced so it is reasonable to assume a contract hasn't been agreed, let alone designs.

    after a conversation I had a while back I think we may need to push for the Emerald/Cinnamon a bit harder with Lawrie & co - was suggested to me by a third party involved with the club that Jets were keeping Red/Blue theme with Gold as the away preference, no mention at all of E/C, not on their radar it would seem, also they were looking for a strip provider that allows input into design (so Puma apparently not a candidate, thankfully... BLK also apparently off the table due to limitations of what they would offer re merchandise, 'beyond limits known' debunked it would appear...)
    Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...

    Puma do great kits, but template kits. If the club want something with their own input, they'll have no luck with Puma. Cue old m8 whom is agent to every man and his dog in Newy and makes a big point of being mentioned a lot in The Herald:



    Personally would love to see Umbro, have always been a huge fan of Umbro kits globally. Has any AL team done Umbro yet? Can't even think atm..

    BLK went bankrupt, yeah? (http://www.couriermail.com.au/busine...f57659d20fd096)
    OK

    pretty sure BLK still exist post-bankruptcy as they were specifically mentioned as an option, but reasons not to go with them appears to have ruled them out, thought the scum used Umbro?

    I would genuinely like Lawrie to answer what he sees were his biggest achievements since taking on the role.

    Because I sure as shit can't come up with any so would like to here some himself what he thinks has been achieved

    One of the major achievements I have assumed was Lawries doing was the jerks members tickets working at coast away.

    Can we ask lawrie - whom put in the hard yards to make that happen?
    OK
