NEWCASTLE United fans are supporting their team from as far as  Plymouth, as the city is the base of the South West Official of the Toon Army.  The supporters club, formed in 1999 by John Bartram, has 64 members from as far  away as Penzance, a monthly newsletter, and even its own website.

John, and the fellow exiled Magpies fans (above), made their long march up to  the north east for six matches last year -in their own minibus. They have  already visited St James' Park once this season, to see the 4-3 win over  Manchester United, and they are planning their next expedition for the match  against Blackburn on December 15. Plans are also afoot to include away games  this season. John, who used to work for City-bus, found his old job useful for meeting and  greeting members Toon Army. He said: "I've seen so many people going around with  stickers on their cars, and if I'm walking past I'll put a card in their  window. "I used to work on the buses after I retired from the Marines, and I used to stop the bus to give people my card.

"  He added: "There are quite a few people who come to the games but aren't  members." The club is sponsored by Devonport based Scorpio Computers, and meets  regularly at the Black Prince pub in Laira. Anyone interested should contact  John on 07801729749.
