  1. Newcastle United was born into the banging, clanking, smoky world of industrial Tyneside. Queen Victoria was on the throne in 1892, Gladstone would become Prime Minister for the fourth time, and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was published. The roots of Newcastle United stretched back to 1881 and the formation of Stanley FC who played in South Byker. A year later Stanley became Newcastle East End. Meanwhile, on the other side of the city were rivals Newcastle West End who were based at St James’ Park on Barrack Road. In May 1892, West End succumbed to ongoing financial troubles and folded. Eyeing an unmissable opportunity, East End moved across the city, taking over the lease at St James’ Park. In a football world very different world to today’s, this was a time when East End played in red shirts and plied their trade in the Northern League. September, 1892, marked East End’s first home game at St James’ - a friendly against Celtic. And it was in December 1892 that the club’s name was changed to Newcastle United in a bid to attract a wider fanbase from across the city. A friendly against Middlesbrough on Christmas Eve at St James’ was the new United’s first fixture. And the attendance? Just 1,500 - although crowds would swell once they were admitted to the football league. This came to pass at the end of the 1892-93 season when they were elected to the new Division Two. Now the Newcastle United years could begin. Newcastle East End red shirts and white shorts Newcastle West End 1888 An early Newcastle United, pre black and white strips. Newcastle United 1893/4 1894

  4. As the 125th anniversary celebrations are in full swing new owners are announced a few hours before kick off. Best atmosphere for yonks inspires us to a 1-0 win and after the match Rafa says he'll sign a new five year deal. Positive threads are great.

Craig Hope who covers Newcastle United for The Mail says via his Twitter account: ‘If Amanda Staveley returns with offer of £300m for NUFC then Mike Ashley will listen & it is likely that deal can be done’. https://www.themag.co.uk/2017/12/newcastle-takeover-likely-deal-can-done-ashley-waits-amanda-staveley-improved-offer-newcastle-united/
