Furns (@SquadronNewy) sits down for this weeks #JetstreamAMA chat with Newcastle Herald sports writer James Gardiner (@JamesGardiner42)
They talk over the current news around the game including the possible season kickoff and whether Fox Sports will still be involved, before chatting over growing up in Dubbo and getting his start in sports journalism at an early age in the local paper before moving to the Hunter.
James then delves into the various eras of the Jets – NSL, Con, Tinkler and Martin Lee talking over some interesting experiences, especially in the early years before answering a few supporter questions to finish.
Furns (@SquadronNewy) sits down for a #JetstreamAMA chat with Jets legend Matt Thompson.
We start off by chatting about the coronavirus and how its impacting his current work, before getting into topics including what he’s up to now, his early years, including his time at Parramatta Power, signing for the Jets (and where he could have ended up), the 2007/2008/2009 seasons, becoming captain before leaving the Jets (and where he could have ended up), playing in Thailand and trialling in China before we hit him with The Jetstream Ten Questions.
After we drew a prize for the Newcastle Jets Supporters Facebook Page, we got into supporters questions which also covered off his international career.
Furns (@SquadronNewy) from The Jetstream sat down for a wide-ranging chat with former championship winning @NewcastleJetsFC coach Gary Van Egmond (@gary_egmond)
We start off by chatting about the coronavirus and how its impacting his current work with the Young Socceroos, then talk over his early years in football as a player in the NSL and a brief period over in The Netherlands with Roda JC before delving into his two stints at the Jets. He talks about getting the head coach position in the 2006/07 season, recap some great stories from the lead up to the 2008 Grand Final, his views players and the differences in the club hierarchy at the time as well as his own development as a coach both at and outside the Jets.
We tried to cover as much as possible but there were a few topics we didnt touch on a great deal due to time (it was already a 2hr interview!!) so apologies if you were wanting to hear about the Asia Champions League campaign and more detail on his departure in 2014.
