The FFA is on the front foot in its efforts to re-engage the Newcastle Jets with the wider community, announcing a series of community engagement forums for June.
A business leaders forum will be held on June 10, followed by a Jets members forum on June 18 and Northern New South Wales Football Community on June 24.
There’ll also be online forums and surveys.
A-league boss Damien De Bohun says it’s about putting the community at the heart of the club.
“Clubs exist for their members, fans and the wider community,” said de Bohun. “Listening to these people is more than consultation, it’s about putting the culture, values and aspirations of Newcastle and Northern NSW into the way the Jets act and think.”
“This level of engagement is unprecedented in the A-League era and I know the football people of the region will be enthusiastic participants,” said Northern NSW Football CEO David Eland.
“These three forums will provide the FFA and Newcastle Jets administration with a clear understanding of the Newcastle community’s expectations of the new club. It’s exciting times for the whole game in the region.”
The business leaders forum is by invitation only, while people can pre-register for the Jets members forum.
