Jets Rivalry

[gafferpom]

Hi Administrator

I am a student sports journalist at Monash University and will be writing an article on your rivalry with the Jets prior to next months game.

I am looking for some quotes - that are obviously not explicit! - for the article, preferably from someone high up in your organisation.

Can you let me know who to contact please. It would be a 10 minute chat down the phone in the next few weeks.

I am Pommie Hammers fan so would be happy to swap stories about The Millwall!

Cheers

Welcome to ccmfans! There's not really any organisation/hierarchy so will leave this open for volunteers. I'm sure there are a few others on here that may be interested in helping out.

Adz is very modest. As our top boy, he led the charge at the battle of Broadmeadow back in 07 and personally dropped six scummers.

I got maced outside bluetongue a few years back helping out our mariners fans against the scummers!!! Look forward to this fixture every damn day haha Can't even imagine how good it would be to be hammers fan against millwall

 

[Wombat]

Saw a Scum fan get his nose put across his face after one game in Gosford but apparently he was jumping on cars so deserved it.
Apart from that its mainly just been verbals.
Only been to that rat hole Newcastle twice but love how the bogan scum come out of thier shacks to abuse you as you walk past after the game...great fun.

Can someone answer this question from the 442 forum? I thought if anyone would know the answer it would be some of the old heads floating around here.

Why do Jets fans call the Mariners gypsies? I must have missed something or it just hasn't been explained ever. And none of this 'because they live in gypsy homes' or 'because they're dirty stinking hippies' nonsense. What's the actual story?

 

[dibo]

The 'joke' on their forums was that we all live in caravans. Caravans = gypsies.

 

[adz]

I guess there are a lot of caravan parks on the coast? Who knows. They also used to joke about the youth suicide rate on the coast, so that should give you an idea of what type of people came up with that shit.

 

[dibo]

Oh. Hilarious.

 

[MrCelery]

I'd much rather be a gypsy than a bogan.

Gypsies are also notorious for thieving. So I assume our name also came about because the bogans are a bit pissed at us always pinching the points!

 

[Rowdy]

The 'Myth' of us being Gypsies was born from some 'scummer' trolling the net & coming across a news article which told the story of some 'Gypsies' being either arrested or investigated on the Central Coast for some crimes of, what was it now??? ???
You guessed it.........thieving. Its one of many things that Gypsies are renowned for.

One of the other most notable things they are known for is....NEVER LIVING IN THE ONE FCUKING SPOT!

Gypsy steals.....Gypsy moves on. pretty logical you'd thunk, but not for scummmers?

That was fun! And the look on their faces when we all marched into the stadium singing In Your Newcastle Slums... priceless!

You give up easily, don't you.. lol.

 

[neverwozza]

Thanks for the replies. I thought it was just a caravan thingy but wasn't sure.
