Talk:Newtown Jets

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The only verifiable date for the foundation of the club is 14 January, 1908. I think Wikipedia should stick to this date and mention the controversy (as I have done). The club is still the oldest club in existence (Glebe having disappeared after being ejected from the Premiership), though Glebe was clearly the first to be formed. -- User: CumberlandsAshes81 22 August 2006.

Fair use rationale for Image:Newtown Jets Logo.jpg[edit]

Image:Newtown Jets Logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

First or second oldest club?[edit]

The article states

This made Newtown the second rugby league football club in Australia and the oldest now in existence. The first club, Glebe, was formed on 9 January 1908. When the 'Dirty Reds' (Glebe) were controversially excluded from the NSWRL Premiership in 1929, Newtown became the oldest Australian club.

If Newtown was form on the 8th, and Glebe on the 9th, how is Glebe older?
