Finish your flags first.
Not sure we are in a position to complain about what folk are wearing.

Capo isn't even Ina jersey
To be honest it is more embarrassing the number of people on phones in that picture.
Get active ****en
I agree. To many people on their phones in the squadron in games
Sooooo the squadron split last night. Why? And dont give me the Euro v English chant bs.
There should be no politics in squadron, its about supporting the players and creating an atmosphere. How can this be done when theres debates between what seems like Vandys squadron and Bodys squadron?
Im buying a bay 2 ticket next season, do I pick a side or what?
Sorry, it just frustrates me
It is as I honestly told you last night a difference in the way those who sat up the back choose to support. A word of advice though vandenberg is someone who is not worth listening too when it comes to anything squadron related. The guy has zero credibility, input, or has any idea what actually happens. The loud foots are the only blokes I would listen to regarding anything to do with the new NCL group, who for the most part want to work with the squadron to improve matchday atmosphere.
There are those, who used to fill the front couple of rows of bay 2, how prefer to engage in British style chants. More words, less allez. No capo, anyone can start chants.
Bay2 and the squadron have made the decision to develop and achieve is a continental European style of support, meaning capos and constant and consistent noise.
There is an element, who sat at the front of bay 1 last season and the beginning of this season that spent their time abusing and throwing things at the capo, and other squadron members who left with the NCL guys. These people have had consistent issues with the squadron. However won't be missed as singing about tickiling rectums with celery is not particularly witty or amusing.
What your concern is is that the split has damaged support irreversibly. On the contrary it has given us space and options within which to grow and cater for more individuals.
Look at the den and the RCC, the north and the south terrace, the red army and the south end, shed and gfu.
There are numerous examples of groups splitting due to the varied ways in which football is supported world wide.
I would like to finish by saying that taking the word of vandenberg above what I told you last night is well off the majr of the right thing to do.
Wasnt Vandenberg, I refrenced him as he seemed to be leading it. Thanks for explaining though. I've heard too many stories from too many people. I guess I keep compairing it to when the squadron was massive and always overflowing with people. Honestly I love what you guys do, and want to help out in anyway I can. I admire the passion and energy they give to other supporters. I just hope everything, whatever that is, can be resolved. Especially now, when the Jets need you.
Fwiw, I actually agree with you Sam, I think it would be better if everyone were together. The Squadron will always be the primary source of support for the players. At the end of the day though everyone is free to support the team in the way they want, and so there's no issue with these guys doing their own thing, just as there is no issue with Zads Lads doing theirs.
I had alot of fun last night though, thanks for being so welcoming to me and the boys! Whether or not security let us in :/
Thanks Sam. And I, as in militias case, also agree.
Hopefully as I stated, the bay 60 move will see us all together once again.
Also coast away will see us all together.
In other news, I actually thought Bay 2 was pumping for the first time in a while on Friday. Highlights:
- Mitchy's return
- Young'uns getting into it
- Clasping hamma's neck
- Drunk stretch
- Mitchy getting the numbers of 2 random chicks
- Griff (OK that was the next day)
Probably the best thing I saw though was a young mother with a couple of kids (< 10 years old) at the front of Bay 1. It looked like she'd brought them and stood with them next to us because they genuinely enjoyed being around The Squadron, and even though the result was disappointing they had smiles on their faces at the end of the game. Next time someone tries to say The Squadron isn't family friendly I will remember that and have a chuckle.
Just worked out who you are (y)
Will smuggle you in via one of the fence banners next time.
Why didn't security let u in?
Bahaha! Yeah I didnt put my full name up incase I upset someone, but I was told that it'd be nice to have a female rep on the forum, so I stuck my piccy up!
Just roll me up in a flag and carry me through!
Caaauuussee technically my ticket is for Bay 18...Im upgrading next game.
Alllso because secos were being strict on who was allowed into Bay 2 last night asnit was (apparently) a high risk game after what happened with the Wanderers v Victory.

So are secos policing tickets?Caaauuussee technically my ticket is for Bay 18...
I have a GA membership but am in the squadron 50% of the time (unfortunately not the last 2 games)
I edited my reply, last night was a high risk game after WSWvMV fight happened. Or theyre practicing for the next Wanderers game so they dont screw it up again! :P
Don't enter through the Bay 2 entrance. Slide down Bay 3 and walk across. Good to see the seccos trying to enforce the rules though
Enforcing tickets??
In the Western Stand don't think i have been asked once. Matter a fact it wouldn't surprise me if there were countless people on non gold tickets getting into the gold section. Every week there are different people around you??
3 times so far this season I have rocked up and someone was sitting in my seat. First time it was the puddle game so i could understand some looking for shelter. Last 2 times was the last 2 weeks
