Why this club
Newcastle United, founded in 1892, are less a club than a civic religion. St James' Park sits on a hill in the middle of the city; the shirt is black and white; the support is famously one-eyed. After years of underachievement they were bought by Saudi Arabia's public investment fund and started spending like a giant. The Geordie identity is still the draw. Come for the noise, stay for the sense that the whole city is in it.
