Newcastle Jets v Nagoya

[fish eel]

Not much of a care factor for Jets fans?

Surprised there is no thread on it.

Jets off to a good start, early goal, up 1-0.

 

[fish eel]

1-1.

Good result for newcastle away in japan

Honestly, didn't know it was on until today. Then I didn't get around to putting the thread up. Thanks mate

On the game, we played quite well I thought. Defended stoutly, offered a little in attack and probably should have won the game. But if you were to give them a point prior to the game they would have taken it. Now for the return leg at EAS on the 22nd IIRC.

It was a good effort by the Jets.

But geeze, there really is a heap of interest in their ACL campaign lol

Plenty of discussion regarding it on more football oriented forums. That's where I do most of my talking. Didn't catch the game but very happy with that result. Hopefully we can jag a win at home to get ourselves into the top two.

On a small soccer section of a Rugby League forum? :lol:

That has been frequented reguarly by a few vocal Jets fans doofus. :roll:

Lh, and the crowd they got for the first match says there is little interest anyway

Yes, because Wednesday night football against a team from Korea not even Koreans have heard of is a real drawcard.

I thought the chance to watch your team play it's first match in thr Asian Champions League is worthy of atleast 10K......

Probably. But it's horribly scheduled. This isn't Europe where most teams are a hop, skip, and jump from where their fanbase lies. Getting to a game on a weekend is easy compared to getting there on a Wednesday night, especially when you're a fan living outside of Newcastle. I can't imagine Ulsan brought a whole bunch of traveling fans with them, either.

The Jets had a ratsh*t season with low crowds as a result. Hopefully the win at home and a good draw away will convince people their side stands a chance.

To their credit, Sydney and Melbourne drew good crowds when they participated. Adelaide did their second time around, but aren't managing it again this year.

I'm talking about the lack of interest/support for a newcastle jets home game. It was played in NEWCASTLE - and had a poor crowd.

Same with the Mariners first home game. Piss poor turnout. Shame we have two clubs with a soft fanbase competiting this year.

Yeah, I remember going on wet wednesday night to watch a team from Indonesia play Sydney at Parramatta Stadium and that drew over 10,000. Drew more than the Eels/Raiders game played the preceeding weekend.

Adelaide did their second time around, but aren't managing it again this year.

Probably because they are not playing.;-)

I know. I was saying that all of Newcastle's supporters don't necessarily live close to the stadium. It's one thing to trek across from Lake Macquarie - another thing entirely to come from even an hour's drive away after a day at work/school.

It's a poor job of supporting either way, I agree - but Wednesday night football in what is essentially a large country town isn't quite the same as Wednesday night football in a city like Melbourne or Sydney. Adelaide struggled to draw crowds. Central Coast and Newcastle are. \\

Probably because they are not playing.

Sorry, meant to say in their first year.

I don't know how tonight is going to go for CCM, but I can tell you it was absolutely PISSING down before the Pohang match in March, that would've kept a few thousand away.

:lol: Mariners

3-0 down and it's not even half-time yet.

 

[Timmah]

9,419 was the crowd at Bluetongue, 3k more than last game. Still terrible though :?

 

[Misanthrope]

I do get that there is club football scheduled for weekends, but wouldn't it make more sense to have the prestigious continental cup take place on a weekend where it can get maximum crowds? Surely they can postpone or reschedule club matches?

 

[griffo346]

1-0 defeat for the jets in the 2nd leg

 

[Apey]

CBF starting a new thread, but did anyone see the game against Beijing tonight?

Goals in 87th and 93rd minute to win it, the second one was amazing. (First was blatant offside :lol

 

[IanG]

Bugger!!!!!!

 

[Misanthrope]

This thread really should just be called Newcastle Jets Asian Nations Cup campaign or something.

Didn't see the game, despite Korea having broadcast rights
