CANBERRA - LET’S PARTY

Okay steady on. It should read Newcastle. Apparently they are having a party, wasting some taxpayers money on a flyover, getting all the kids out of school for the Jets party and all because they won a football match.

Just thought one day we might like a party in Canberra....well wouldn't you?

Jets media release below.

MEDIA RELEASE
NEWCASTLE - LET’S PARTY
THE JETS HAVE WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

The Lord Mayor of Newcastle, Councillor John Tate and Newcastle City Council will join with the Jets to celebrate their inaugural Hyundai A-League Championship win on Thursday 28th February from 3.30pm in front of City Hall. And will it be a celebration!

The RAAF at Williamtown will do a fly over of the celebrations by three FA18’s, the victorious players and coaching staff will be introduced to the waiting crowd, the Hyundai A-League Trophy will be on display and commemorative merchandise will be available.

“This result is so fantastic for Newcastle and the Hunter, the Jets have certainly done us all proud. I encourage everyone to come to Civic Park and let the boys know how much this result means to the City,” said Lord Mayor, Councillor John Tate.

“We want to see as many school children and supporters there as possible to say thank you to the Jets for making us all so proud,” said Councillor Tate.

“It is also great to see the RAAF at Williamtown want to be involved with this celebration and we thank them for volunteering to do the flyover. The team are called the Newcastle Jets as a tribute to the RAAF base at Williamtown.”

A police directed road closure of King Street will be in effect between Darby and Auckland Streets, to ensure public safety.
