Newcastle United

In the city of Newcastle, football is considered to be akin to a religion, so it’s somewhat suitable that St. James’s Park towers over the city like a cathedral, casting a shadow over all that sits below it. It has the largest capacity in the North-East and has been a location for football matches since 1880. Newcastle themselves have been in residence there since 1892 when the club was formed. Over the course of their history the club have won four league championships, six FA Cups, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969 and the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 2006. Unfortunately for the club and its supporters, the majority of their success came before the first world war, including one of their FA Cups and three of their top-flight titles. The last major domestic trophy they picked up was the FA Cup in 1955.
