Some angst in Bogantown regarding a possible change of
colours.
Many of you have overwhelmingly expressed disapproval of
recently-surfaced rumours of a possible change in club colours from gold +
red/navy to blue + red.
Whilst the Tinkler Group have implemented many promising initiatives such as
more affordable ticket prices, many here believe this decision (if true) could
be a potentially damaging mistake. Whilst many fans will also be Knights fans,
many of these will also recognise the requirement for separate identities of
the respective teams.
If you, like us, are proud of the history of the Newcastle United Jets, and the
colours this was achieved in is important to you, then please copy the below
email and forward to:
info@newcastlejets.com.au
and CC the message to:
reception@eclipsemediaevents.com.au;
lyall.gorman@footballaustralia.com.au
ben.buckley@footballaustralia.com.au
to express your dissatisfaction.
If you would like to express a different message than that contained below, of
course feel free to draft your own message. It is supplied in a general and
simple form only to aid the large-scale expressal of fan dissatisfaction.
Furthermore, please pass this on to interested people who may not come across
this message who may wish to lend support.
******************************************
To Mr Ken Edwards, Mrs Tracey Kearney, Mr Lyall Gorman and Mr Ben Buckley,
Recent rumours within the Northern NSW football fraternity of a potential major
change in the primary home kit colours of the Newcastle United Jets from gold +
red/blue to blue + red in order to align with the Newcastle Knights rugby
league club are concerning.
This club has forged a proud history in the six years of the Hyundai A-League
and Asian Champions League campaigns, and the club colours occupy a sizeable
part of these memories. Our gold strip is distinctive, it is easily
recognisible at the local and national football levels as the Newcastle United
Jets and has been associated with passion, pride and success over the 6 years
since the A-League commenced.
Embarking on a major change by removing the gold from the home strip without
any consultation whatsoever, I believe you risk unnecessary angst and potential
alienation of many loyal supporters, many of whom are also owners of official
gold Newcastle United Jets merchandise at great expense.
By forwarding this email to you, I express my disapproval of any possible
introduction of new club colours without first consultation of Newcastle United
Jets members, the same minimum rights that are being afforded to Newcastle
Knights members by the Tinkler Group in their recent takeover discussions.
Regards,
(insert your name here)
