Honorary President: Peter Beardsley
Newcastle United Supporters Club Yorkshire was formed in 1988. Most of us are exiled Geordies, and most of the rest have some connection with the Toon. And then there's Gordon! He supports
Newcastle because he was born on 4th May 1974, which just happens to be the day
we lost to Liverpool in the cup final. Well I suppose it's better than picking
the team that won to support.
We organise travel (or at least arrange to travel together) to all home games and most away games, some of us by train, others by car. However we get there, we normally meet up in the pub before the game. For home games this is currently in the
Mile Castle (Wetherspoons, near the station), for away games it'll be in one or other of the pubs recommended on the Travel page of this site.
We also raise money for charity. Over the years
it's probably been around 10 grand. The main beneficiaries have been the Burns Research Unit at Bradford University, Tiny Lives, the Special Care Baby Unit at the RVI, of which Peter Beardsley is a patron,
and more recently Martin House Hospice.
We used to have annual membership
fees, but we scrapped that many seasons back. Nowadays if you want to be a Yorkshire Mag..... then you are one!
