Newcastle in Australia?
Hi, I always knew there was a city called Newcastle in Australia, but I just ran a search on the internet and found they have a football (soccer) team called "Newcastle United" with the initials NUFC. This is odd, because I am from Newcastle in England and we worship our local football team, Newcastle United (NUFC).
Can anyone tell me anything about Newcastle in Australia? Is it a well known/obscure place, are there any stereotypes/interesting things about it? How are they doing in their football league etc? I want to make a few comparisons. The Newcastle in England has an exact same model of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, but we built ours first 
I'd like to go there someday and support their team
Cheers
I just checked their official website and this is weird.
Newcastle United (Australia) are 4th in their League.
Newcastle United (England) are 4th in our league.

back to ur questions .. Newcastle is a pretty well known city in Australia, second-largest city in New South Wales and the largest non-capital city in Australia. Basically an industrial town, has grown on the the coal mines nearby (BHP Steelworks are the other major industry). Roughly ~500,000 people live there, most of them are westies and sk8rs

I'm sticking with Newcastle because of the name. Do any of the Australian footie games get broadcasted on cable? Or maybe highlights?
Newcastle (England)
No Jobs, No money. People spend their Government Jobseekets Allowance on season tickets for Newcastle Fottball Club. The people are quality, geordies in general are really funny but thick. (in General that is)
Don't know if that's any comparison to Newcastle (Australia) but that's how it is here
Quite similar to Newcastle, Australia, but replace "season tickets for Newcastle Fottball Club" with "pot and longnecks of VB" and you've pretty much got the picture

One thing I really want to get my hands on is one of those giant inflatable Newcastle Brown Ale bottles - they rule!
The Aussie Newcastle does have scarves:
Hey I might get an Aussie Toon flag:
Nice! I've learnt a few Aussie Newcastle chants! Many are the same as ours with names changed etc.
We hate Adelaide City,
We hate Melbourne too,
We hate Perth Gory,
But Newcastle we love you!!

Woah, Woah, Woah
so its obvious to see that you like newcastle
but to extend your feelings to an australian team is just plain crazy
parramatta leauges is lookin to dis-associate themselves with the power in the near future cause football in australia sucks
turns out my rugby club (parra two blues) is going to fall under their wing which means more money and free health cover for me!!
i cant believe you never knew the were two newastle united's!
its regulaly in the match programme about toon fans visiting the stadium in australia, and they often come to see our games!
they were talking of doing sum sort of merger a few years back.
and it aint crazy to support newcastle au aswell as the toon, ive been a fan of newcastle au for a while now and i like to see how they do, and they are regualy in the same pos as the toon are in the premier league!
TOON, TOON, Black and White army!
dreamer
COme down to Bob Jane Stadium evil basard in ure newcastle strip and us South Melbourne supporters will show u hooliganism, and soccer at its best
No stewards, no segregation of fans at NSL matches, haha bring it on you GEORDIES!!!
IF ya ever in Syd head down to Cheers Sports Bar, great atmosphere to watch premier League matches,
scum fans singing gary neville is a red he hates scousers
while any non-scum fan replies with gary neville shags his brother, mother, father, they're all inbreds, pretty fun.
@dreamdecks I haven't got a season ticket, I can rarely afford to get to the games 
but it doesn't mention the Aussie Newcastle in any of my match programmes. The most recent I've got it the Spurs game one and I don't recall any mention of it 
@Xavier, it is surprising to see you have no segregation of fans and no stewards. Sadly things in Europe have gotten to a stage where they're using every security initiative in the book to prevent deaths. It can be a real pain in the arse too - I recently went to Barcelona for the game and the Newcastle fans had to arrive 3 hours before kick off, even though there were only a few thousand of us (they restricted the tickets, even though thousands of seats were free, bastards) and there were 50,000 of their fans. We also had to wait in the ground an hour after kick off while their fans got away.
Seriously though if I were you I would not taunt the travelling English football fans. It's not about being macho or whatever, if you look at England's track record for hooliganism it would be wise to keep your distance from some fans.

Hooliganism as a culture began in England, and some people are actually flattered that the Russian hooligans who started the Moscow riots during the 2002 World Cup modelled themselves on their British counterparts!
There are well-known terms in Britain such as the Glasgow Kiss (a headbutt), but the Chelsea supporters are pretty notorious, espescially the "Chelsea Headhunters". Have you ever heard of a "Chelsea smile"? If you have a weak stomach I'll spare you the details.
The Milwall fans are generally regarded to be the worst in Britain though, but recently Stoke City have gained increasing notoriety as police have had unprecedented operations to keep their fans from clashing with rivals. The police take every one of their games very seriously, and often hold up trains if they fear Milwall supporters are on them. Trains and train stations are common for football fans in general, and with hundreds of different sets of supporters making their way to the game every week there are often clashes. Yorkshire unfortunately has a lot of small clubs and also has a lot of trains passing through. It is also home to the Leeds supporters who have had their fair share of trouble in the past (two were stabbed to death a couple of years back during a day of riotting as the Leeds' "Service Crew" hooligans walked the streets of downtown Istanbul chanting "I'd rather be a Paki than a Turk"). Subsequent English fans travelling to Istanbul were met at the airport with signs saying 'welcome to hell'. This is the mentality of a lot of it.
Riots are frequently an organised thing. Hooligans often ring each other up and arrange a time and place! Things aren't as bad as they were in the 70s or 80s, there was a bit of a dip apparently in the 90s but it is estimated trouble is escalating again.
The BBC also did a series on hooliganism last year with undercover cameramen. A lot of their info is on here:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/st...2002/hooligans/
stupid ******s .. passion for the game is one thing, irrelevant violence is another....
I agree. Hooliganism ruined England's chances of hosting the 2006 World Cup and has caused trouble for innocent English football fans going abroad. In Brussels in the 2000 European Championships the Belgian police tear-gassed pubs full of English football fans in an attempt to root out the hooligans. The worst thing is that this reputation will plague our fans wherever they go, putting them at more risk of attack from foreign hooligans.
It's one thing to go to other people's cities, cause noise, chant, get drunk and goad their fans, we all do that, but it is another thing entirely to intentionally cause riots that result in people getting killed.
To better understand the mentality of some of these people you might want to have a look at this site: http://www.ultrasoccer.org/ It reports about hooliganism in football around the world with up to date pictures and news (even downloadable videos of European riots), but the people writing it are hooligans too. If this site doesn't glorify hooliganism I don't know what does, I'm surprised it's still up on the net. Would you believe there is actually a code of ethics for hooliganism throughout Europe! A lot of people called the Turks cowards for "using weapons" after the Leeds fans were stabbed to death. It seems it's "OK" to use bottles, stones, fists etc but blades are out of the question. Bizarre! The Slovaks have also been seen as "cowards" recently when two English fans were shot in Bratislava a couple of months ago.
