An end of season talk in, together with pie and pea supper, has been arranged with the Evening Chronicle's John Gibson at Dudley Social Club, Western Terrace, Dudley, Cramlington NE23 7JF at 7.45pm on Thursday 5th May 2011, in support of Newcastle British Telecom over 40’s football team. .A quiz is being provided by NUST who have been asked to return following a successful talk in at the venue last year. Entry is £6.00. If you’ve not heard John Gibson talk about all things Newcastle United before then you’re guaranteed a good night.

The recent NUST survey into what Newcastle United fans think of their football club shows that a staggering 96% of supporters feel the current owners do not listen to their concerns and 78% believe they should be allowed to take a stake in the football club. Many thanks if you took part - over 4700 fans responded to the survey and we would like to present the full results.

Join us for a detailed presentation and discussion of the survey results by industry professional Michael Thewlis, who is also an NUST board member.

Also attending the meeting will be James Mathie from the Trust umbrella organisation, 'Supporters Direct', who will give a valuable insight into how NUST fits in with the Supporters Trust movement nationally, plus update everybody on such matters as the parliamentary enquiry into football governance and FIFA's planned financial fair play agenda.

The meeting takes place from 7.30-9.30pm on Thursday 3rd March at The Corry Room, Sport Central, Northumberland Road, Newcastle NE1 8ST.

The first ever NUST Fundraising Sporting Dinner at the Assembly Rooms, Newcastle, has sold out and we’d like to thank everyone who has made this possible.

Firstly, all the supporters who have bought tickets and who can look forward to a great night’s entertainment.

Secondly, we have been overwhelmed by the generosity and support shown by the companies and individuals listed below.

As Newcastle United fans we are all used to the ups and many downs of following our great club. By working and joining together we can do great things as supporters. Nobody can predict the future of NUFC but we believe that whatever direction the club moves in it would benefit from the supporters being at the heart of decisions to help Newcastle United be the successful football club we all know is potentially possible.

That potential must one day be turned into reality and we can all help make that happen if we come together and work towards the fans having a collective strength. Join here

The first NUST roadshow since the Yes We Can campaign kicked off arrived in the Blacksmiths Arms on Gosforth High Street. The pub, affectionately called ‘the blackies’ holds many memories for me personally, I began my drinking life in that bar at the tender age of 16 (sorry I mean 18 of course, 16 would be illegal!!). At the time of my first ever visit the landlady ‘Betty’ ran the pub in that good old fashioned way. Tonight on the occasion of the NUST roadshow there is of course a different landlord, and its incredibly ironic that he is called Mike Ashley!! Yes I said Mike Ashley!! Must say at this stage that this Mike Ashley was more than accommodating and he runs a very good and welcoming pub
