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

Given Mike Ashley’s recent pronouncement that he was taking the club ‘’off the market’’ ,appointing Chris Hughton as manager, and selling off the ‘naming rights’ at St James’ Park it was no surprise to find an enthusiastic audience awaiting the NUST Roadshow at the Pioneer Club, Annitsford, on the evening of Thursday 28th October 2009.

The NUST Roadshow travelled north to the coastal town of Bamburgh on the evening of 10^th September and set up it’s stall at the Milburn Bar based in the Victoria Hotel, a drinking venue for JET’s son. What a venue! Adorned with framed Photographs of ‘Wor Jackie’ on the walls it was a fitting venue to hold a supporters roadshow. Well worth a visit.

The event was very well attended with two local football sides having abandoned training to attend together with others who had travelled down from Berwick and surrounding areas…..and even a smattering of visitors who were in the area on holiday and had spotted the posters.

Our latest Roadshow took place at the coast on the evening of Thursday 3rd September at the Cullercoats Crescent Club. A healthy contingent of Mags turned up to listen to latest developments at the Trust, to hear the tales of the Chronicles John Gibson and to generally discuss all things Newcastle United....and as always following the Mags always leaves plenty of room for discussion.

MC for the evening was NUSC Interim Chair Neil Mitchell who began by introducing committee member Steve Hastie who brought the audience up to date on the developments at the Supporters Club since it's formation almost a year ago.

The NUSC roadshow bandwagon arrives in the small compact colliery village of Dudley. Newcastle was recently voted in a national survey to be the friendliest place in the country, and you can see why by the welcome the NUSC received from the staff and regulars at Dudley Social Club. We set up in the bar area next to the cigarette machine and the dartboard!!

To begin with we must thank our hosts Dudley Social Club and in particular the staff and the steward and his wife. Les Mutrie a former player of no little skill and a goal scorer at all levels he played at, from non league to football league. The small bar area quickly filled up and there was a nice sense of anticipation in the air. At this point the quiz was taken round the room with the attendees readily participating. A big up to Tom Lynch who handles all our quizzes for us, although we have to watch him as sometimes the questions can get too hard!!!

The NUSC roadshow rolls into the city centre and lands smack bang in the shadow of our beloved St James Park. To be exact it rolls into the Strawberry pub, and what a pub it is (even if John Anderson joked about the price of Guinness!!). It’s what some would call “a proper pub”, no fancy lights, no dancing girls, no chrome finishes, and no bloody communal toilets!!  What it does have is history, real drink / beer, tradition, the taste and smell of NUFC, a half decent jukebox, it has the craic. Its where you meet before or after the match, its where when you come out of the match there always seems to be one nutter trying to manoeuvre their car through thousands of fans trying to get to the pub!!
