I think the Jets should move to Tamworth, Coffs Harbour, or Port Macquarie on a permanent basis. I wouldn't shed a tear if they left Newcastle that's for sure. Let someone else deal with the clubs empty promises and false hope.

On a side note: Has the club offered the Keeper that let in the 16 goals a five year contract yet ? He certainly ticks all the boxes.

I will just leave this here for you - wouldn't want facts to get in the way of your arguments.

About Us
Brief History
On November 1 2004, Football Federation Australia (FFA) – the governing body for football in Australia – announced that the Newcastle United Jets (Newcastle Jets) was one of eight franchises to have successfully bid for a place in the freshly founded Hyundai A-League – the new top, fully professional division of football in Australia. Alongside foundation clubs from Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Gosford, Brisbane, and Auckland (New Zealand), Newcastle’s bid had been given the privileged opportunity to represent the Northern New South Wales region – an area steeped in football history and tradition – in what would ultimately become one of the most exciting, engaging and rapidly growing sporting competitions in Asia.

So propoganda is now a fact ??

That just some self promotion dribble on the club's website

FFS Northern don't even represent NNSW properly yet they do a much better job of it than the Jets do

Anything the Jets have done fir NNSW has been tokenistic and self serving rather than a dedicated commitment to the community

[MFKS]

hahahaha blokes on here would rather the Jets stay home and train running around some witches hats in front of some broke uni students instead of running around some living breathing humans in front of living breathing humans with wallets.

No I would rather we actually put decent pre season preparation together for a change

Not play a pile of NNSW NPL team taking it with no intensity a couple of combined hogge podge squads and a shirts and skins game v the Gypos at Tuggerah isn't adequate to me


Our preparation is not good enough period

So... They haven't had a go in the past at properly doing anything for the NNSW community.

They go and play some games in front of regional communities involving the community and some local footballers who get a chance to play against some national league players.

But you are against it? Which one do you want, make up your mind.

We have the Club our fans deserve.

100% agree with this.
Some of you seriously need to think about how lucky you are that you get to go to a game roughly every 2nd weekend - even when we are winning spoons. It may be tough supporting the jets at times, but I would give anything to be able to get to games but cant because of travel distance and other commitments.

The jets are meant to represent Northern NSW not just Newcastle so while the scoreline isnt great (but MFKS has been hammering them for not thrashing NPL teams, so they have done exactly what people wanted them to do) the 4100 fans that turned up in port and whatever the number that turned up in Tamworth may have gone to the only game they will get a chance to see all year because they dont have the opportunity to get to Newcastle to see a regular season game. Not to mention that a whole heap of kids are now going to mum and dad can we go watch the jets again this year?
Lets not forget the season doesn't start till October, does it really matter that we are doing these types of camps now? If we were doing it the week before the season I might worry, but we now have 3 confirmed and 1 possible game against a-league opponents in the next month (not sure how accurate the reports I read about these were so could be wrong) so it seems as though they are doing the right thing by the football community and club and by all reports posted have done a great job of it. So well done to the jets management and players.

Fixed.

Seriously, you lot need to stop saying "blokes" and "jets fans" when really it's the same whinging **** all the time. Stop replying to him and the discussion will improve ten-fold.

[Jeterpool]

I found it interesting Vujica has been deployed further forward in the two games. Not only that, he's found the back of the net.

I wonder whether this is Merrick trying a different move with him - almost trying a Gareth Bale?

From what I could find online, M City's pre-season has consisted of 2 games against NPL opposition, an FFA Cup match against more NPL opposition, and a closed door match against the Mariners. Wish the $#%@ Jets could organise a pre-season to rival such a professional club!

[The Dunster]

The PR trip for the Jets is little more than a smokescreen to hide the fact they are struggling to sign quality players, and that they are destined to come last again in the 2017/18 A-league season.

If they can sign some quality soon I'll retract my statement - but until that happens the club is taking the piss once again from anyone crazy enough to buy tickets.

Why are you attacking MFKS ? He's not responsible for failing to sign a high quality foreign player. He's not the one that has failed to make the finals and finished in last place.

We should all be critical of the club because nothing seems to be changing and once again the result will be the same unacceptable shit.

Melbourne City have a great team and finished in the Top 4 - they can afford to have a less intensive pre season because they are still involved in the FFA Cup. - unlike the Jets.

The Jets are not up to standard and if they keep playing weak opposition they will not improve.

Melbourne City are a professional Club. The Jets are a joke.
