Newcastle Blue Star F.C.
Newcastle Blue Star F.C. is a football club based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It was established in 1930 and joined the Wearside League in 1973. In 1978, the club won the FA Vase. They won promotion to the Northern Premier League Premier Division at the end of the 2008–09 season via the play-offs, however off field troubles led to the club having to wind up, having never taken its place in the league. In 2018 the club was reborn from renaming club Hazlerigg Victory and bringing with it their players and management staff, playing matches at Scotswood in the West End of the city. The club currently play in the Northern League Division One, the ninth tier of the English football league system.
Formed in 1930 as Newcastle Blue Star, the club was entered into the Newcastle Business Houses League two years later. The club would play in this league for six seasons before moving onto the North East Amateur League. Spells in the Tyneside Amateur League and Northern Combination would follow.
In 1973, under the name Blue Star Welfare, the club had advanced to the Wearside League. It was crowned champions during its first season in the league. It repeated the success in the 1975–76 season adding the championship to its name again. In 1978 the club marked its most notable achievement to date, winning the FA Vase, beating Barton Rovers 2-1 in the final at Wembley Stadium.
By the 1979 season, the club had re-named as simply Blue Star. The early 1980s was a successful time for the club. It won the Wearside League in three consecutive seasons. Around this time it also reached the First Round proper of the FA Cup, knocked out by York City, losing 2–0 at Bootham Crescent.
In 1992, a consortium placed a pre-emptive bid to buy cash-strapped Fourth Division side Maidstone United with the intention of moving the club to the north-east and merging it with Blue Star, thus giving Blue Star League football. The bid was rejected by Maidstone chairman Jim Thompson.
The club entered into the Northern League Division Two for the 1985–86 season, emphatically winning it. It won 36 out of 38 games, only dropping points in two games (one a draw, the other a loss). Also in that season, the club scored a very high 133 goals. In 1986, the name was reverted to its original title of Newcastle Blue Star.
Newcastle Blue Star had moved up to the Northern League Division One and came very close to winning it in 1987–88. By the early 1990s, the club had a slump in the league, finishing generally in the lower half of the table. From 1994 until 1998, the club was known as RTM Newcastle, soon changing it back to Newcastle Blue Star.
The club was relegated to Division Two for the 1999–00 season, but bounced straight back up with a runners-up spot. Unable to regain the form of previous years, Newcastle spent three seasons in the lower regions of the table, the last of which was a bottom place finish and subsequent relegation.
