Roses are Red, Stars are Blue Hall of Fame (Left Blank intentionally)

Roses are Red, Stars are Blue A Bit about Newcastle Blue Star Formed in 1930 as Newcastle Blue Star, the club joined the Newcastle Business Houses League two years later, where it competed for six seasons before moving to the North East Amateur League. This was followed by spells in the Tyneside Amateur League and the Northern Combination. In 1973, under the name Blue Star Welfare, the club advanced to the Wearside League, winning the championship in its first season and again in the 1975-76 season. The club also achieved victory in the FA Vase, defeating Barton Rovers 2-1 at Wembley. By 1979, the club had simplified its name to Blue Star. The early 1980s were a successful period, with the club winning the Wearside League for three consecutive seasons. During this time, they also reached the First Round proper of the FA Cup but were eliminated by York City, losing 2-0 at Bootham Crescent. In 1992, a consortium made a bid to buy the cash-strapped Fourth Division side Maidstone United, intending to move it to the northeast and merge it with Blue Star, which would have provided Blue Star with league football. However, the bid was rejected by Maidstone chairman Jim Thompson. In 2009, the club folded amidst heavy debts despite sitting in the Northern Premier League Premier Division - one tier away from the National League North... The Return In 2018, a local businessman took the initiative to reform the club, establishing teams from U8's through to seniors. Currently, Newcastle Blue Star is based in Scotswood, in the West End of the city, and competes in the Northern Football Alliance, the seventh tier of non-league football in England (overall eleventh tier). The club is adjacent to the sports centre and boxing club known as Grainger Park. In October 2018, Lady Elsie Robson officially opened the clubhouse, naming it the Sir Bobby Robson Lounge. In May 2023, after winning the Northern Football Alliance, Blue Star earned promotion back to the Northern League Division Two - The tenth tier.... The Home Turf.. The Blue Star play at Scotswood, in the west of the City, with a capacity of 250.

Hi guys, I think it would be a great idea if you could - say after a few years with a club - that when you resign or go to another club, that you could recommend your "successor", not unlike SAF did with David Moyes. It would be great from an immersive perspective - and the club doesn't have to agree but there should be some look at the tenure when the decision is being made. Imagine you're in a 10 year game, you're about to leave the club, but one of your champion players has been your understudy for the last few years, and you recommend they take over?

August 2022 Bit of a hit and miss month here. I've brought in Chris Herd, yet another Australian to slot into the DM role. I've also brought in Lewis Budinauckus from Rangers as a backup keeper option as none of our keepers are that great. I tried to get Ben Garratt across the line at the end but no dice. Still, a solid start to the season and we're second, facing first place Dundee at the beginning of September.

July 2022 Well, it's been an interesting month. I've managed to get Malachi Boateng off the books, which has allowed me to increase my scouting range, but also, bring in Jordon Hall from Melbourne City, and Mitch Austin on a free, although I am on the look out for a new DM and GK. Some big wins but we were humbled by Kilmarnock in a result that didnt really reflect how we played. That said, we have finished top of the table in the Premier Sports Cup, and now face Motherwell. Can't complain about that.

Breaking the duopoly For years, the Glaswegian duopoly has ruled - it's been 67 years since four different teams have won the SPL in four years - with Celtic or Rangers being the side of choice in recent history. So I've decided I'm going to start this as a fun save, starting with Queens Park, seeing if I can't turn a duopoly into a three-way Glaswegian epic for the title each year. More Glasgow derbies each year when we make the Scottish prem has gotta be a good thing right? Hampden Park in its glory days...

Youth Intake I spy at least two possible converts!

May 2023 Well that was an interesting finals series. We leave it late against Western United but capitulated against Melbourne Victory. All in all though, a solid season - something we can build on and hopefully have Veneracion leading from the front.

April 2023 Well, that's a way to end the season! We finish just one goal away from a home final with Manolo Veneracion's 14th and 15th goal coming in the final match in a 2-1 victory. A fifth placed finish now sees us face up against Western United away from home instead of a home final.

March 2023 March is for Manolo! Veneracion, no sooner had he fully converted to a striking role, finally found his shooting boots, and even scored his debut hat-trick against Macarthur in front of his home fans! Unbelievable stuff! With just four games to go, we look likely to snare a home final at the very least, but if we can cheekily finish in the top two, we get a bye through to the semi-finals of the final series. Crazy!

Our first convert! It's official, he's actually a striker out right based on this training. Aidan Coyne is still only a DC though.

February 2023 Three wins on the trot including a huge win against Melbourne City. Veneracion scored the decisive goal in the win against the Jets which delighted the home fans and we're now firmly entrenched in the top six. With just eight games to go, we could possibly make the finals at the first attempt - knocking off one of my first challenges! Veneracion also has five goals to his name so far this season.

January 2023 Another close month, and we're still in a healthy 8th spot. Veneracion got another goal - which brings his tally to four for the season however he is taking his time adjusting to the new position.

December 2022 An injury against Western United saw Veneracion sidelined for a couple of weeks, with Aidan Coyne coming in and scoring against Macarthur FC. A big home win just before Xmas against the Phoenix sees us sitting in a solid eighth position, meaning a top six position is not out of reach.
