the owner of the Johnston Hotel (established 1887, and now the Museum Hotel) which is adjacent to the ground. During the 1920s, the ground picked up the nickname 'Wembley' as the side contained eight internationals. Rivals The Bluebells' biggest rival is the Wallsend Football Club. Both clubs have enjoyed success at the state level. However, both have encountered lean times in more recent years. Edgeworth Eagles are their nearest rivals, however since the Bluebells were relegated back to the First Division at the end of 2012, encounters between the side have been restricted to the Heritage Cup and FFA Cup competitions. Adamstown Rosebud FC and Weston Workers Bears are two other clubs who have built up a rivalry with West Wallsend in over 100 years of encounters.
