    Good News Bluebags.

    I had not heard this. first thing that comes to mind is ...Why? 20 grand to fix the dunnys - OK Splash of paint here or there - OK but the dressing sheds weren't done long ago so what is the money to be spent on, and again why? its pretty much OK for the Jets - good enough for the game at...

    God Bless the Bluebags.

    I used to think it was a shame the Jets were no longer in the big league, but I think I've changed my mind over the years. If they were... you would not be able to go and see what it used to be like in real footy (except maybe at NSO and Leichhardt...kind of). Henson is unique and it would be...

    Norths vs Newtown

    2000 is a good Henson crowd. I remember a game against Balmain some years ago we had 3000 and it was brilliant. Some Henson Pk crowd stats from the latter 'big league' days of 1970-83: Highest crowd: 10087 v St George 1970 Lowest crowd: 1860 v Penrith 1976 Avegerage crowd: 4802 ...and ...

    Norths vs Newtown

    Shame it's not match of the day on Fox or I'd head to a pub tomorrow to watch. Saw the game against Canterbury last week on TV - Jets are playing well!

    Nice effort! Great to see a former Jets favourite go well on the big stage.

    Fierce Rivals - Good Neighbours.

    Nice one! I remember well catching both those bands live back in the day. Wouldn't want to take on the mosh pit at the lime spiders nowadays but! ... gonna dig round in the tape collection under the house now and have a listen - thanks for planting the idea BB.

    Henson Park Hotel.

    that'd be a new experience for them I guess... I hope the locals are happy with the new Redfern oval. Personally I don't get it cos I really enjoyed going to the old oval in the same way I like going to Henson, Leichhardt and NSO. seemed to me a splash of paint, upgrade of plumbing and bit of...

    Henson Park Hotel.

    I'd hate to see the HPH no longer operate as a pub. A beer there after the game is a true part of the Netwown Jets / Henson Park day out. The current licencee may not be supporting the Jets, but the HPH have supported them in the past and licencees change over time so who's to say they wouldn't...

    Rtr2011.

    Great stuff - woukld enjoy seeing it. I was in Sydney recently and went past Redfern oval in a cab - different world! SF - JJ's probably not had sign/rego on completed by then and a bit bloody hot during the day in Feb. Hope the main game is twighlight as I didnt reaall seeing a lot of shade...

    One step closer

    Fixing up Henson Park is the greatest moral challenge of our time.

    Henson Park upgrade.

    ... well, Its all just opinions really - so whether you consider someone a intelligent sage or just a sad pathetic twit wasting their limited time alive bitching....or anywhere in between,...their just expressing a view from THEIR OWN perspective, no-one elses, so if you dont agree just smile...

    Newtown Jets on top of the Comp

    ... and I enjoy seeing them on TV once every 2 years!

    Henson Park upgrade.

    Fix up the Hill toilets, maybe a new scoreboard clock - and hey, it's just about perfect (except when it rains)

    This weekend

    I've lived in Auckland a couple of times over the past 10-15 years and I used to walk past Carlaw park - it was pretty derelict by then, just a wasteland really but the old wooden grandstand and the turnstiles and scoreboard were still standing - and man, that must have been a cauldron to play...

    This weekend

    Yeah, Henson is my favourite - NSO and Leichardt were always worth the trip for away games. Used to like the old Redfern Oval and Lang Park grounds when they were basic too - both were real gritty sort of places and something about walking down the old suburban streets to a game - Henson still...

    I find it strange......

    Not from my point of view - I think its excellent to help the Sharks if that helps the NSW cup to stay at 12 teams - in fact anything that keeps sides on the park is good in my opinion - at least till the Sharks sort out their affairs - after all it could have been the Sharks who got dropped in...

    Round 1

    Wishing all jets fans a great day out on Saturday and a big crowd at Henson to relive the traditions of real rugby league. I think that the NYC has decimated the NSW cup and it saddens me to look through the lineups of all NSW cups and see so few names I recognise compared to a few years ago -...

    Shame Shame Shame

    Might be an idea to put the fans first - a trade mark isn't going to be worth much if there's no one left who cares about it. Sad to see this particularly as there will be nasty things said about all parties depending on which side of an argument people take when I would think the realities...
