Added Dave Sadler and Bobby Houghton to the list of former players. This seems a very well put together article. Well done.twitter 11:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I have expanded a little on the early professional era (1971 to 1979). twitter 10:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Somebody changed Dave Sadler's entry. He definitely went to Maidstone Tech - I was there! twitter 13:44, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relocation relocation

The article currently states "A consortium from the North East wanted to buy the club, move it to Tyneside and rename it 'Newcastle Blue Star'; that was about as good as the offers would get." While I do recall talk of moving the club to Newcastle, I don't remember any suggestion of changing the name to Newcastle Blue Star - apart from anything else, a club called Newcastle Blue Star already exists and has done for decades. I have a hazy recollection of mention of a potential name change to "Newcastle Browns", but I can't remember if that was a serious suggestion or a joke - can anyone recall..........?
