It all boils down to this, 35 league games played before Friday night, just one more of the regular season remaining. A win for Newcastle Blue Star would put them in the playoff positions for at least a few hours, then all eyes will be fixed on what happens a day later. The reason it all boils down to the last 90 minutes of the league season is due to the phenomenal run that Blue Star have generated over the past few weeks. Six league games played, a half dozen of successive

We asked the team behind the content about their favourite moments of the 25/26 campaign...... Favourite Game Ben: “Slightly obscure choice but Crook Town at home - had been rough few weeks after Nashy & several players left, so was buzzing for the lads to perform so well & get 3 points.” Dan: “Heaton Stan FA Cup win - a fantastic late strike from Leon Burke to claim a cup scalp and give us a home tie with Marine.” Barry: “Kendal Home 4-1 – Classic assist’s by Collins, great

After an extended run of home games, Newcastle Blue Star find themselves back on the road on Saturday. A final away fixture in the league to be contested at Crook Town’s Sir Tom Cowie Millfield Ground, whether it leads to further away days in the playoffs is still to be decided. If that is to be the case, Blue Star know that they have to do their bit and hope results go in their favour elsewhere. That being said, results have certainly gone in the favour of the KD Stadium out

Although Newcastle Blue Star still have two league games left remaining and hopefully some playoff activity to follow, their focus pivots to League Cup action tonight as a place in the last eight of this season’s competition is on offer. Blue Star welcome Marske to the KD Stadium this evening and they do so in red hot league form. Paul Brayson’s men making it five successive wins on Easter Sunday as his side continue their hunt for as many points as possible. Each of the last

On a day where the KD Stadium open its doors to hundreds of groundhoppers, Newcastle Blue Star will be hoping to hop further up the league table - a top five berth their hunt over Easter. Hopes that have increased after extending their winning run under manager Paul Brayson, a run that now stands at four after a comfortable 3-0 home win at the expense of Penrith just seven days previously. A fourth successive league win, the first clean sheet of this burgeoning run. Further s

NBSFC Kit Man and avid GroundHopper, Mal Stephenson Mal Stephenson, our kit man and dedicated groundhopper, gives his own story as we welcome GroundhopUK to the KD Stadium for our fixture vs Carlisle City.... So Mal, let’s begin right back at the start...what got you into groundhopping? I bumped into a Carlisle United fan who had been to see them at every football league ground in the 92 in the late 70s / early 80s and was inspired by that. So I started going to watch the loc

A third successive win for Newcastle Blue Star on Tuesday, three more points added to the board for Paul Brayson’s men but that win increasing in value less than 48 hours later – West Allotment’s exit from the league ratified, points deducted across the league table. Thankfully for Newcastle Blue Star, their loss to West Allotment earlier in the season has been wiped from the history books, a surge up the table ignited after the 4-1 victory over Kendal then turbocharged once

By Ciboni Vaz Newcastle Blue Star secured a massive 3 points at home with a dominant 4-1 win over Kendal Town FC, keeping their play-off hopes firmly alive.   The breakthrough arrived in the 15th min as captain Sean Reid rose superbly to meet a pin point cross from Collins, guiding his header across goal to make it 1-0.   The home side doubled their lead in the 30th min, with the same combination, as Collins, with a moment of quality found skipper Sean Reid again from his cro

Back-to-back wins are hard to secure in Division One of the Northern League – a testament to how competitive this competition is, any team in any position is more than capable of taking points off each other. With all that being said, Newcastle Blue Star have achieved that feat in the past week and after getting the better of Newcastle Benfield seven days ago, they subsequently got the better of Birtley on Friday night. Another three points in the bank for Paul Brayson’s men,

Newcastle Blue Star are back under the Friday night Scotswood lights and if it is anything like their last outing at the KD Stadium, those either involved or watching from the sidelines may want to strap themselves for something of a rollercoaster. A 5-4 loss to West Auckland a couple of weeks ago, thankfully things were slightly more sedate on Tuesday as Blue Star returned to winning ways in the Northern League.
