sales & lettings agents
Buying a new home, or selling an old one, is probably one
of the most important moves you will make. To make sure
it is equally one of the most exciting rather than complex
and stressful, it is important you have confidence in your
estate agent. And the one firm that aims to help you have
just that is David Robson & Associates in Newcastle.

helping hundreds of people from its premises in the east
end of the city. It has been up and running since 1998,

“I’ve sponsored the club for eight
years now and know their Chairman
Jimmy Rowe personally. I am now the
club’s vice-chairman and have been
involved for fourteen years having
first gotten involved after starting
watching when I stopped buying a
Newcastle season ticket.
The club Is doing well at them moment
with the players contributing both on
and off the pitch. The club is built
on solid foundations and we would
like to win the FA Vase one day and
also gain promotion to a higher level.
Lets all get behind the managers and
players and enjoy a strong finish to
the season.”

109 Scrogg Road, Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE6 4HA
is a simplistic definition as we are most
definitely the go to club for everyone
in the east end of Newcastle, drawing
support from Heaton, Byker, Walker,
Wallsend and even the Coast.
We’ve got volunteers from 18 to 80,
in the shape of our young kit man Bailey
O’Brien and our legendary trainer Derek
Gair, who has devoted more than sixty
years of his life to football in this area.
Recently, we’ve totally refurbished our
club house and revamped our catering
facilities. The bar is open most nights and
gets pleasantly full on a Friday night.
We offer superb Sunday lunches,
which we’ll even deliver if you so
ask. Indeed, we are delighted to be
able to host a free Christmas lunch for
the elderly, staffed entirely by club
volunteers, including delivery drivers
for those old folks who can’t easily get
about. Incidentally, if all this talk of food
and drink is making you feel a little
stuffed, there is our fantastically well-
appointed, competitively priced gym on
site; take it from me, they can sort out
even the most slothful of us.”
we have to take the endless search for
new supporters and generous sponsors
as a given task, not to mention the desire
to find the best players possible to wear
the blue and white of Benfield.
However, the real elephant in the
room is the FA enforced restructuring
of football at our level and the one
above, which will come into effect at the
end of the 2019/2020 season. Despite
the proximity of the date, details are
sketchy, but it seems up to a dozen
clubs from the Northern League may
well be forcibly promoted a level, into a
league that would stretch as far south as
Doncaster. If this involves Benfield, and
there is every indication it will, then the
whole ethos of the grassroots game in
this region will be affected, not just us.”
Ambitions
“Notwithstanding the intangible
elements bound up in my previous
answer, I think everyone at Benfield
would say our main ambition is the same;
to cement our place as the number one
non-league club in Newcastle, playing
the best kind of football at the highest
levels possible, for all ages. In short, we
want the whole community north of
the Tyne to be as proud of Benfield as
possible.”
Challenges
“Last season, our groundsman Stan
Thompson, who performs miracles
with our pitch, would have said Mother
Nature as the elements played havoc
with the pitch and fixture list. Obviously,
