"To Jets supporters, our recent history has left us truly humbled and extremely appreciative of the support you continue to show the club. We realise now we acted like giddy school girls chasing after that other team. What can we say? We thought they were what we always wanted. We didn't realise that we had everything we desired right here, and we chased after them, only be used and abused. They took our love, took our money and then deserted us.
We thought we had nowhere to turn and then we realised that what we desired most of all had been there all along. It was you, the kid with three Jets painted on your cheek. It was You, the humble old man with a thoughtful gaze that reveals an intelligent football brain. It was you, the happy and sometimes a bit rebellious teen who likes to stand on chairs a bit too much. It was you, the wife who organises her husband and four kids so that you can all get to the game before kick-off. It was you, the man who liked to yell abuse at Gary van Egmond.
It is not you who needs to change; You've been there for us, solid and unwavering through the last 3 seasons of HSG ownership. It's us. We got too big for our boots and forgot what community was about. We thought it was about us, not about you. This season is not about us asking you to do anything other than enjoy being yourselves. We aren't calling you to Believe, Unite and Join the Fight, because that would just be a cheesy slogan. It is about us standing up and showing that we represent you when we play. We can represent you because we now know deep inside who you are. The players we have in the squad this year are men who really want to be here, playing for our city and representing you.
We will make you proud again."
