Newcastle United Football Club nicknamed The Magpies, Toon Army, or Geordies - are an English professional football club based in Newcastle upon Tyne; and were formed by a merger between Newcastle East End and Newcastle West End in 1892 when West End's results were at an all-time low, and in which they had lost to their bitter rivals, East End, five times, West End found themselves in serious trouble. They approached East End with a view to a take over, the directors having decided that the club could no longer continue. The club was elected to the Football League, which they entered in 1893; and are England's equal-eighth most successful club of all time - having won a total of 4 League Championships and 6 FA Cup titles; along with 1 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and 1 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Newcastle United's most noteworthy rivalries include Sunderland (dubbed the Tyne-Wear Derby); and they play their home games at St. James' Park - the oldest and largest football stadium in North East England, as well as the sixth-largest football stadium in the United Kingdom.
