an example of this happened quite recently
we had an argument with another group of supporters, which threatened to blow up in our faces, and the truth is we didnt exactly handle it very well either. It was only after speaking to them and ironing out the issues that we had, that we could move forward. They dont sit with us, which is fair enough, because everybody has their own space, their own piece of turf and thats fine. We get that. Not everybody wants to be a part of it, and we get it, we really do. I personally draw the line at people criticising us, when all we are trying to do is be another part of the reason why footy is fun.
Its no secret that the eastern grandstand lacks atmosphere, and all we are trying to do is add an element of fun and excitement to it. Theres nothing like being at EAS when 28,000 people are yelling "newcastle", and if we can bring that back then so be it.
Were all on the same team. So lets start acting like it
