Matt Hall Racing and Newcastle Jets partner up

Newcastle Jets Members planning to attend Friday’s blockbuster Hyundai A-League clash against Adelaide United at McDonald Jones Stadium are being given the chance to win an exclusive prize thanks to a fresh Club collaboration.

The Club has teamed up with Australia’s only Red Bull Air Racer, Matt Hall, to offer one lucky Jets Member the chance to win a joy flight with the former RAAF Fighter Pilot.

Better still, on the day that our winning Member goes up in the air with Hall, he or she will be joined by Jets attacker Morten Nordstrand and have their full experience documented via a Club video feature for www.newcastlejets.com.au and social media.

Earlier this year Hall – who in 2009 became the first Australian to ever compete in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship – presented a motivational talk to the Newcastle Jets squad.

The Scone-born pilot who finished the 2016 Red Bull Air Race Series in second place behind Germany’s Matthias Dolderer discussed “realising your dreams”, and Jets defender Daniel Mullen said Hall’s presentation resonated with the group.

“He (Hall) spoke about his time in the Air Force in which he had to display team work,” Mullen said. “Then he went on to talk about goal-setting and always striving for the highest.”

Hall will be a guest of the Club at this Friday’s home match against the Reds, addressing the Jets’ corporate function pre-game and being recognised on pitch at half time as a Club Ambassador. Also at half time the winning Newcastle Jets Member for the Matt Hall joy flight will be announced.

To enter, simply e-mail membership@newcastlejets.com.au and tell us in 25 words or less why you would like to go flying with Red Bull Air Racer Matt Hall and Newcastle Jets’ Danish dynamo Morten Nordstrand. And don’t forget to tell us your name and Member number!
