Has any specific reason been given why they don't play at druid Park? Other than the fact their central location allows them to rake in lots of fans?

Druids Park the pitch is dated. Let's get the facts straight if we are now talking the old Newcastle Blue Star which has nothing to do with the New Newcastle Blue Star The original ground was called the wheatchief back in the day when I played there in 1991. The new Newcastle Blue Star is the first northern league side that's been in the west end of Newcastle this is why they get crowds of 200 plus for games. It gives the local public a team to support and kids somewhere to play football.

Blue Star just signed Regan Paterson from North Shields, their top scorer so far this season, also a midfielder from Crook who I know nothing about

The ones that have been criticising the club since the management & players decided to leave the club. Some of the comments that I've read are ridiculous on social media. Players that left the club should be ashamed of themselves refusing to play for the club in big game against Yarm. The club have looked after them since they walked in the club and decided not to play coz the manager and his staff walked away. Most people were hoping the club will slip down the table. The club & new management are ambitious and will not let this happen. You just have to look at the new signings. The future is bright for Newcastle Blue Star. "Most people were hoping the club will slip down the table".....?? Where did you hear that?

Was really surprised to see the attendance against Washington last sat was just over 100. I thought they were much better supported than that

Don't forget fixture clashes with NUFC, SAFC, etc too which is often why games are rearranged to a Friday night.

I also think it highlights the point that the North East is not the hot bed of football that was claimed many years ago. The demise of clubs, low attendances, the lack of money coming down from the senior levels of the game. It epitomises the society in which we live, some will flourish and prosper, some will struggle on or fall by the wayside

The best club are finding their level and that’s probably going to be step 3.

The 'hot bed' of football as a generalization is probably the North West. Never has been the North East, not sure where that myth came from.

The 'hot bed' of football as a generalization is probably the North West. Never has been the North East, not sure where that myth came from. We are a hotbed of football because our teams have amazing support and supporters and arguably the best English managers and footballers ever were born in the region. Charlton, Robson, Shearer, Gascoigne, Beardsley are just a few who would get in any England team of any time. Who would manage them? Revie? Robson? Paisley? Perhaps Clough? Little known fact…north east born managers lifted the first division championship trophy 15 times between 1960 and 1987. That’s over half of the titles over almost three decades. Anyway, at least you know why it’s not a myth, it’s the truth.
