when was newcastle united formed?

Answer 1

Newcastle United Football Club are an English professional football team based in Newcastle upon Tyne, nicknamed the "Magpies", who currently play in the FA Premier League. The club's traditional local rivals are Sunderland. Newcastle United supporters are known as the "Toon Army" or the "Geordies" due to the area the team is based in which holds the majority of the clubs' supporters. The team was formed in 1892

Answer 2

Newcastle United was formed in 1892 after the merger of two local clubs, Newcastle East and Newcastle West and currently plays at St James' Park, the old Newcastle West ground in the city.

Answer 3

The team was formed in 1892 after the merger of two local clubs,
Newcastle West End and Newcastle East End. West End ran into financial difficulties and East End moved to their ground, St. James's Park. They changed their name to Newcatle United and their strip from red and white to the familiar black and white stripes. Newcastle United were elected to the Football League in 1893.

Answer 4

They started out as Stanley F.C., playing on a pitch near Stanley Street, in Byker, Newcastle, but changed their name when the then Northumberland and Durham F.A. asked them to, to avoid confusion with Stanley United F.C., from somewhere near Consett, Co. Durham.

They amalgamated with Red Rose F.C. at some point, and became known as Newcastle East End F.C. and moved to a ground which they named the Chillingham Road Ground, gradually becoming a big club.

The other big club in the city was - appropiately enough - Newcastle WEST End F.C.; who played at St. James' Park, formerly the home of another early association football club. And with two big clubs in the city, they became rivals.

At the end of the 1891-1892 season, West End went bankrupt; a result of paying their players big win bonuses.

With St James' Park now empty and in central Newcastle, East End took over the lease and moved in; abandoning their ground in the Heaton district, which was far from central.

Newcastle East End kicked off the 1892-93 season still known by that name, and about a third of the way through the season, a new company was formed from the evolving East End club: Newcastle United F.C., incorporating board members from the now defunct West End F.C. The club was made stronger on the pitch too, with former West End players signing up with the new club.

I can't remember when Stanley F.C. was formed, but it is too simplistic to say that Newcastle United was formed in 1892.

Also, it is untrue to state that the club was an amalgamation of East End and West End, as many scorces will tell you. Like I mentioned above, West End went bust, and NUFC is a continuation of Newcastle East End F.C.

Answer 5

This season is a wash, hate to say. What we need are our key players back, we've been plagued with big injuries from the start. Also need at least 1 CB and a striker this January as we have little depth behind our normal starting XI. After that, I'd like to see another solid midfielder like Sissoko from Toulouse. Newcastle are playing much better than the first few months of the season and I was proud of the fight they took to Man Utd, but our defense is a catastrophe, and will be worse if Colocinni leaves.
