TALKING POINTS:

Memorable Match – 17th November 2013

  • The first match where the Jets came from behind at half time to win. Brisbane took the lead through a Luke Bratten goal on a soggy afternoon in Newcastle. The second half saw the Jets score two goals through Adam Taggart, with a little help from a large puddle of water, to run out 2-1 winners.

General

  • There has only been one scoreless match between these two teams in the history of the A-League.
  • The Jets last beat Brisbane in February 2014.
  • The Jets are 7383 attendees from having 1.5 million people attend an A-League game at the stadium.
  • Mark Jones and Nick Nick Theodorakopoulos are the only managers in Jets history to draw their opening match.
  • Gary Van Egmond is the only manager to have won his first match against the Roar.

Players

  • Wayne Brown is the 7th Jets player to score on his A-League debut.
  • The last substitute to score for the Jets, Radavan Pavicevic, scored his goal against the Roar.
  • 5 players made their debut for the club last week, the same number as Round 1 in the previous two seasons.
  • Wayne Brown is the 66th player to score for the Jets.

Newcastle Jets

  • The Jets have scored the first goal in their last 3 fixtures.
  • The Jets have won 5 of the 10 fixtures held on a Sunday between these 2 clubs, while 2 of the 3 wins in Newcastle have come on a Sunday.
  • Newcastle have scored a goal in their last 5 games – the longest streak in 2.5 years.

Brisbane Roar

  • Brisbane have scored the first goal in this fixture on 5 of the last 6 occasions.
  • Brisbane have managed to claim 20 points from a losing position against the Jets over the course of the A-League’s history – the most of any team against Newcastle.

Injuries

  • Newcastle Jets Daniel Alessi – Knee (Season), Mateo Poljak – Calf (possible), Morten Nordstrand – Knee (possible), Daniel Mullen – Knee (12 weeks), Ben Kennedy – Achilles (Season), Jason Hoffman – Calf (Unknown)
  • Brisbane Roar

PREDICTION:
After one round, the Jets are already facing a test of their squad depth with Mullen sustaining a serious knee injury while Hoffman and Kokko are also in doubt. The return of Poljak and Nordstrand should help to aleviate the loss.
Jacob Pepper will likely deputise for the suspended Matt McKay in midfield. The socceroos midfielder’s presence will be missed but Pepper will bring energy for the Roar in the middle of the park.
The Jets will look to build upon a solid first performance against Adelaide, but to do so they will need to defy a trend of poor restuls againts the Roar in Newcastle.
With the 1.5 millionth fan at the stadium likely to be in attendance on Sunday, I think the Jets will have enough to get over the line.
Jets 2-1

SQUADRON: Active Support Ticketing Update

The Squadron FSC has been liaising with the club after some issues were experienced with regards to ticketing for the new active area on the Southern Hill in Round 1.

There was some confusion about ticketing requirements to be able to access the active support area, unfortunately it wasn’t properly communicated that an unreserved General Admission ticket or membership wasn’t suitable (unlike the trial at the end of last season).

As the new Squadron bay now has a specific capacity, only a Squadron ticket or membership (which is a reserved GA ticket) will gain access to the active support area.
There are a number of ways to participate in active support for the 2016/17 season.

Membership

You can purchase a full season or 3 game Squadron membership. A membership represents a significant cost saving to purchasing tickets game to game. You can purchase your membership via this link https://membership.newcastlejets.com.au/
If you currently hold a Jets membership NOT in the Squadron bay, you can swap your membership for a gameday Squadron ticket. Simply visit the Members Services window on the left side of  the Western Stand Entrance.

Online

You can pre-purchase an adult Squadron ticket by visiting this link http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/Newcastle-Jets-FC-tickets/artist/1055546?tm_link=tm_homeA_b_10004_4 and select the fixture you wish to purchase tickets for. Click “South General Admission” to bring up Southern Hill categories. Select “Home Active Support Area” to purchase a Squadron ticket.
If purchasing via the Ticketmaster mobile app select “Newcastle Jets Supporter Area”
Unfortunately Junior and Concession Squadron tickets can only be purchased at the stadium.

Stadium

Squadron tickets can also be purchased at the dedicated ticket window at the Southern Entry gates. If you purchase a non Squadron ticket and wish to swap it, you can swap it for a Squadron ticket at this window also.

If you experience any issues with regards to ticketing or entry into the Squadron bay, please let us know either during the game or send us an email squadronfsc@gmail.com so we can raise it with the Jets.

Stay tuned after the outro music as we have bonus content!!! Dr Emma (@Synapse101) interviews Jets supporter Anthony after the match at MJ STadium to get some immediate postmatch thoughts on the performance and players.
