WHY YOU should join the Supporters Club BECAUSE the club which was formed last May now has estab lished members in Canada, Jersey, Sweden and hostsof "ExiledGeordies" in the British Isles, BECAUSE the policy of the " Supporters' Club " is to create and foster a spirit of good sportsmanship amongst those who attend the matches, BECAUSE members of the Supporters' Club (also their children of 12-14 years) are insured against accident (or death) whilst travelling by train to away matches and also whilst attending as SPECTATORS, on any ground in Great Britain or Northern Ireland, at which an officially re cognised match is played. BECAUSE the axiom " To HELP — NOT TO HINDER " has always been the watchword of Supporters' clubs. BECAUSE the club is affiliated to the NATIONAL FEDERA TION OF SUPPORTERS' CLUBS which is the voice of 500,000 Supporters and is the only organisa tion dealing exclusively with matters and business of football supporters that has re ceived official recognition from the Football Association.
