I was on this team for 3 years and I can honestly say my university experience was shaped by it. I saw a lot of things from other societies that completely went against the code of conduct but they were not punished or at least not in this way. The cheerleaders have never committed an offense so this seems like an unjust punishment! Not only do the team members provide a good representation for the university but the committee comprises a set of really lovely people who I have been lucky to call my friends. All you have to do is look at their fundraising efforts and the support they give to other teams to know how positively their presence affects the activities aspect of the SU. If things start falling apart for the Jets now, I dread to think what the future may hold and a great team like this should continue to thrive and bring home the trophies for Lincoln.

Being part of the Lincoln Jets from 2009-2012 was the best thing I ever took part in. Such a friendly, family society who always behave professionally an represent their university, sport and team mates with respect. I fully support the efforts to bring back this committee.

I know how hard cheerleaders work especially in university squads so they don't deserve this at all! Good luck at getting it sorted Jets!

I was a Lincoln jets cheerleader for 2 years, and until you've been part of a society like this you can never understand or appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into making it what it is. This society made my university life so much better and I have made friends for life. The jets really do rock!

We know some of the members of the squad and during the breaks they come and help us with our training! Now we hope to be doing more than just fates and carnivals and enter our first competition this year! Thank you Jets!!

They are fantastic girls, who do so much for everyone. I am a good friend of some of the squad members and know how much time and effort they have put into the squad, they have fundraised so much so they can compete. It's unfair for the punishment to be so harsh.

I am part of the lincoln jets and i agree that we should have our full squad back so we can go to competition as a team. We are responsible and professional on all nights out and have a zero tolence to bullying.

As an alumini committee member for the Lincoln Jets I think this punishment is beyond unreasonable and completely unnecessary. It is clearly one persons warped opinion of what is clearly seen of a friendly spirited sports team. Not once would a jet put a foot out of line and this committee has to be reinstated!

I am a member of this squad and have been for 3 years now and I honestly could not imagine my university experience being anywhere near as amazing as it has been without this squad. The committee members are not only my committee members they are some of my best friends in this entire university and I will continue to be best friends with them after the completion of my degree and after leaving the university. The way they are being treated is completely unfair and unjust, and I have never met a group of individuals who work harder, dedicate so much time and are so utterly passionate about making our squad into the best team we can be. They are some of the nicest people I have ever had the honour of meeting and the Lincoln Jets family cannot be without them, for competition and for our family to be complete.

I met the Jets while I was looking round on a open day. they seemed really friendly and as a competitive cheerleader I had put Lincoln down as my first choice. I have definitely had a change of plan about my university choices after seeing how unfairly the union has treated the team. I will probably go for my second choice offer in Leeds where the union actually seem to care. I don't want my university experiences ruined like these girls have.

I'm Jets Alumni - In my experience, a Jet is always taught the Jet culture of being respectful in the way in which they treat others and conduct themselves, not only on campus but on the competition floor. Cheerleaders generally get a bad name as it is and it has always been a strong message passed down through the generations of the society to be all inclusive, friendly, humble and to conduct ourselves in a respectable manner. These deep routed morals would go directly against whatever activity or behaviour the Jets are being rumoured to have participated in.
