The Religion of Hope

Growing up in Newcastle, there’s no decision to make about which football (soccer) team to support. You’re born into it. Newcastle United isn’t just a club — it’s a religion that binds the city together in a sacred covenant of hope, heartbreak, and unwavering loyalty.

For 70 years, generations of Geordies have shared collective pain, passing down stories of near misses and what-might-have-beens. Some fans have lived full lives without ever seeing their beloved team lift a trophy. The weight of this trophy drought has been a constant companion, a shared burden that has defined what it means to be a Newcastle supporter.
