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.

The queers they are reffered 2

Breeze mate perth glory is shit, bunch of chokers well see after this week when we play you if u deserve to be on top.

Evil_bastard, South Melbourne is the club with the history, the pride where every junior in australia wants to play for the blue and white. 4 time champions. Newcastle are bottom of the ladder dwellers most time, hence why they are nicknamed the queers.

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

Newcastle (England) also has a very industrial history.

We have a somewhat smaller population though, estimations I've found on the net vary from 200,000 to 300,000.

@OLi_A, I checked and their team has red and blue strips, ours are black and white stripes.

@Euphorica, I'm no glory-hunter I'm sticking with Newcastle because of the name. Do any of the Australian footie games get broadcasted on cable? Or maybe highlights?


So I take it are there no Newcastle AUTA's?

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
