Ante Čović in front of The Squadron, Round 2 of the 2007-08 season

Newcastle United Jets FC biggest supporters group is known as The Squadron which was formed in anticipation of the first ever A-League game between Newcastle Jets and Adelaide United. The Squadron begun standing behind the goals on the Southern Hill however because of the layout of the stadium moved to Bay 2 of the Eastern Grandstand at EnergyAustralia Stadium, in a successful attempt to increase group coordination and noise level. As the club's performances improved throughout the 2006-07 season the Squadron's numbers grew rapidly and have continued to grow throughout the 2007-08 season. Plans are now being made to expand the group further left into bay 1 to decrease the severe overcrowding with the goal of ultimately returning to the Southern Hill.

Recent plans to expand EnergyAustralia Stadium will be an invitation to more fans to fill the stadium and will also allow the Newcastle Jets to hold a Grand Final in the future.
