Season tickets
etc.
For those who haven't already done so as part of the long-term
deals, season ticket renewals can now be made online here
until 5pm on Monday May 20th.
Meanwhile, home cup ticket schemes for the FA Cup and Carabao
Cup are also open now, with a closing date of 5pm on Friday June
21st. Remember that separate sign-ups are required for both.
Depending on our finishing place in the PL, a further home cup
ticket scheme for European competition may become
available.
Cup ticket prices are unchanged from 2023/24:
Carabao Cup: £20 & £25 adults / £10 & £15 others
FA Cup: £30 & £35 adults / £15 & £20 others
This season's ticket price
increase was repeated for next season, raising adult prices by 5% and freezing junior
prices. Full announcement online
here
PS: The Magpie Mover matchday
public transport ticket will again be available to 2024/25 season
ticket holders at an unchanged price of £25. NB: sales of
this don't look to have commenced yet.
2023/24:
Crystal Palace (a)
Newcastle return to Premier League action on
Wednesday against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. It's a non-televised, 8pm start.
Team:
Joe Willock will
play no further part in the remaining games this season, as he recuperates
from
an achilles problem. A similar decision looks to have
been made with back injury victim Lewis Miley.
Callum Wilson has now returned to full training and is set for a place on the
bench. He's netted two of our last three goals away to Palace in the
PL.
Nick Pope, Miggy Almiron, Matt
Targett, Joelinton and Kieran
Trippier are still sidelined, Sandro Tonali remains unavailable due to
suspension and
Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles are both long-term absentees with
ACL injuries.
The immediate threat of suspension was
lifted from Bruno
Guimaraes after the 32 game mark. It's still theoretically
possible that he could earn a three match ban by reaching 15
bookings, but to do that he'd have to be yellow-carded in all six of
our remaining PL games.

CPFC:
Sam Johnstone, Cheick Doucoure, Marc Guehi, Rob Holding and
Jefferson Lerma are all sidelined.
Ahead of our visit, the Eagles registered a 5-2 home win over West Ham on
Sunday - their largest win of the season. That followed their 1-0
success at Liverpool last week and is the first time they've managed
back to back PL wins this season.
On home territory in 2023/24 so far, Oliver Glasner's side have won
five, drawn four and lost seven. As yet, they've failed to win
consecutive PL matches at Selhurst Park this season.

Stats:
With four away games still to play, Newcastle's tally of 26 PL

games)
2022/23 scored 32 (19 away games)
1993/94 scored 31 (21 away games)
1995/96 scored 28 (19 away games)

2023/24 scored 26 (15 away games)
Since Christian Benteke beat Karl
Darlow at Selhurst Park in October 2021, Palace have failed to score
a goal against United in all five league and cup meetings - a run of 484
minutes without conceding.

2024/25:
Europe: latest
Assuming that the Premier League misses out on an additional fifth
Champions League place available due to restructuring of the
competition next season, qualification for Europe in 2024/25 looks
like this, as much as we're able to discern:
There are seven guaranteed European spots; four in the Champions
League, two in the Europa League and one in the Conference League.
Those were originally allocated as follows:
PL 1st-4th in Champions League
PL 5th in Europa League
FA Cup winners in Europa League
Carabao Cup winners in Conference League
Liverpool currently have the Conference League place as Carabao Cup
winners, but will take a Champions League place if they finish in
the Premier League top four, which looks almost guaranteed.
That frees up the Conference League place to the team finishing
sixth in the Premier League.
The FA Cup winners take a Europa League place - unless they have
earned a Champions League place by virtue of a top four Premier
League finish.
If Manchester City win the FA Cup and finish in the top four of the
Premier League, they will enter the Champions League.
The sixth place finishers would go into the Europa League spot
reserved for Manchester City, with the Conference League spot
occupied by the team finishing seventh.
If Manchester United win the FA Cup, they'll take a Europa League
place unless they finish in the top four and collect a Champions
League slot.
Should they finish in the Conference League position, they would
take the Europa League spot resulting from a Wembley success
instead.
If Manchester United finished eighth and therefore only qualified for
Europe by winning the FA Cup, the team in seventh spot wouldn't gain
entry to any European competition.
Aston Villa have qualified for the semi-finals of the Europa
Conference League (known as the UEFA Conference League next season).
If they won that competition, they would occupy an additional spot
in the Europa League reserved for the Conference winners only -
regardless of nationality.
Should Villa snag a Champions League or Europa League spot via their
Premier League finishing spot though, the Europa League place
reserved for them as Conference League winners would not be
reallocated to another Premier League team.

Cards & a present
for Toon loan lad
Sunday saw Feyenoord defeat NEC
Nijmegen 1-0 to win the Dutch Cup Final, giving on-loan Magpie Yankuba
Minteh the first trophy of his senior career.
However, the Gambian-born 19 year-old wasn't on the field in De
Kuip at full time - following his 72nd minute dismissal after two
bookings inside three minutes.
Feyenoord were 1-0 up at the time and managed to hold on to
their advantage to lift the trophy - a rather happier Minteh
collecting his winner's medal.
Update:
Asian Cup
bid ends
With United's Garang Kuol in
the squad, Sunday saw Australia bow out of the U23 Asian Cup
in Qatar after failing to win any of their three group stage ties.
Following a 0-0 draw against Jordan and a 0-1 defeat by Indonesia,
the Olyroos needed victory over hosts Qatar in Doha on Sunday to
progress.
Following 21 minute and 15 minute substitute outings, Kuol was again
named on the bench. Introduced on 69 minutes with brother Alou, he
was unable to inspire Australia to a goal and the game finished 0-0.
The top three
finishers in the sixteen team competition earn a place in the
Olympic Football tournament in Paris this summer. The side that finishes fourth enters a qualification playoff.
U18s:
Nine man
Mags
in last-gasp loss
Wolves U18s 1 Newcastle U18s 0
Following their dramatic 4-3 home
win over Liverpool on Monday night, United's U18 side were defeated
in second half added time on Saturday.
After a delayed start at the Wolves training ground, neither side
could conjure up a first half goal - but both went in at the
interval a man down.
The hosts lost Josh Gidaree to a straight red card on 17 minutes for
illegally halting Newcastle's Matty Taylor as the last man back. Fouls by
visiting midfielder Mattheos Ferreira on 20 and 29 minutes were then
deemed as bookable offences by referee Brandon Scaife.
Still scoreless going into second half added time, United defender
Harry Powell blocked a goalbound shot with his hand and became the
second Magpie be dismissed.
That left Dani Angel with the task of taking the resultant penalty
and the Spanish youth international forward beat Adam Harrison to
secure all three points for Wolves.
Team: A.Harrison, Bloomer (Epia 69), Durrant, Johnson,
Palmer, Wooster (Mills 89), Ferreira, Donaldson, O'Donovan, Taylor (Alabi
75), H.Powell.
Subs n/u: Jones, Old.
Booked: Ferriera, Epia
Dismissed: Ferreira, H.Powell
Newcastle gave an U18 debut to Michael Mills at the age of 15 years
and three months. The winger was signed from Port Vale last summer.
Also appearing for the first time at this level was fellow
substitute Aaron Epia - a defender who was with
Everton.
Update:
Sports Direct fail again
A week after The Competition Appeal Tribunal ruled that a Sports
Direct claim against Newcastle United was insufficient to merit the
granting of an injunction, Friday saw an appeal of that decision
rejected by them:
"the Tribunal does not consider that the appeal has any
real prospect of success."
Earlier: The case will proceed to trial unless an alternative solution can be
reached, with no delay to the June home kit launch permissible,
regardless of whether said trial has taken place by then.
Sports Direct are challenging the club's plans to sell next
season's shirts themselves and via retailer JD Sports - the latter
gaining an exclusive licence.
Earlier: details of next season's Adidas kit
releases came out during the tribunal, including a home kit
launch on June 7th, the away kit in July and a third kit in August.
Figures disclosed during the tribunal also suggest that the
Adidas production run is around 375,000 shirts.
Latest:
Staveley statement
Update from Amanda Staveley via social media:
"Just arrived back from
Saudi and noticed a lot of messages from fans concerned that I had
stepped down from my role as a Director of Newcastle United.
"I have not - the changes made last week were purely
administrative, to non-trading subsidiaries. After the takeover,
Jamie and I stepped in as directors of all companies until we could
build an executive team.
"We remain on the ‘top-co’
and the Board. I’d like to thank everyone for their incredible
support over the last few years, and particularly for people taking
the time to share their thoughts.
"We have the best fans in
the world - and I am privileged and proud to be a part of your
community."
Earlier: Updates from Companies House involving subsidiary companies related
to Newcastle United caused a stir on Wednesday, specifically
the resignation of Staveley from a number of directorships.
These were explained as administrative rather than
strategic, with her position as a director of Newcastle United
Football Company Limited unchanged - that company established back
in 1890.
Club CEO Darren Eales is now also a director of that company, which
is in keeping with previous holders of that post including David
Stonehouse etc.
PS: Staveley is set to be back in the news this week, as the
deadline for repayment of a £3m debt fell on Monday. Should bankruptcy
proceedings then follow, that could affect her NUFC
future.

We understand Newcastle have abandoned attempts to arrange a
pre-season tour of the USA, after no suitable financial package
could be agreed upon.
Negotiations over alternative destinations are now in progress, with
claims of various long haul and European venues appearing in recent
days.
United played three matches in the USA in 2023 as part of the "Premier
League Summer Series", facing Aston Villa, Brighton &
Hove Albion and Chelsea.
There's no equivalent PL event this year, but Arsenal, Chelsea,
Liverpool and both Manchester clubs have all arranged their own
stateside kickabouts.
PS: The format of the 2023 SELA Cup event is expected to be repeated
this year, with the Magpies and three as-yet unidentified sides each
playing two games at Gallowgate over the weekend of August
10th/11th.

FAC update
Changes to the FA Cup competition from next season for a minimum of
six seasons were announced by the FA on Thursday as follows:
Scrapping of all replays from FAC1 onwards - for NUFC that puts an
end to FAC3R and FAC4R; FAC5R had previously been scrapped.
No midweek FAC round scheduling, ending the recent trend of playing
the Fifth Round in midweek.
FAC4 played over six days from Friday to Wednesday.
No PL games scheduled on FAC4, FAC5 and FAC QF weekends but FACF to
be played on the Saturday of the penultimate weekend of the PL
season*. No PL games to be played on that Saturday or the Friday
night.
* by our calculations that's May 17th 2025.
PS: The PL have also announced that the mid-season break that has
existed in different formats over recent seasons won't be continued.

On This Day in History |
23rd April |
Born Or Died:
1901 Albert
McInroy born, Walton-le-Dale,
Lancashire. (1929-34)
Goalkeeper who
celebrated his 31st birthday at Wembley
Stadium, as part of the Newcastle side that beat Arsenal
2-1 in the 1932 FA Cup Final.
Although appearing briefly for Preston North
End as an amateur outfield player, Albert
was on the books at Roker Park when he made
his professional debut early in the 1923/24
season, between the posts.
Winning one England cap (versus Northern
Ireland at Anfield in October 1926), a move
to Tyneside in October 1929 came at a cost
of £2,750 to the Magpies.
Following an absence through injury during
the 1933-34 season, Albert lost form when
recalled and following relegation,
quarrelled with the SJP board over monies
due and left the club in the summer of 1934.
Returning to the mackems - although he
didn't make a first team appearance in 11
months back on wearside - Albert then joined
Leeds
United in 1935
Returning to the North East two years later,
he played for Gateshead until 1940 and
turned out for Stockton during wartime.
Later working as a publican in Newcastle,
Gateshead and Houghton-le-Spring, Albert
passed away in 1985.
1924
Frank Brennan born, Annathill, Scotland.
(1946-56)
Signed from Airdrie for £7,000
in July 1946, centre half Frank opted to join Newcastle despite offers from
both Preston North End and the mackems.
Debuting in United's first post-war Football League game (a 4-1 victory at
Millwall in August 1946), Brennan went on to become a cornerstone of the Newcastle United side that returned to the
First Division in 1948 and won the FA Cup in
1951 and 1952.
A Colossus of a man (nicknamed "The
Rock of Tyneside"), this Scottish international stood at 6ft 3in in
his size 12 boots and had a fighting weight
of 13 and a half stone.
Omitted from the 1955 Cup Final side as an alleged punishment for opening a
sports shop in the city to rival Chairman Stan Seymour's, Frank was
transfer-listed over a wage dispute, which outraged fans.
Playing his final game in January 1956, Frank joined North Shields in a
player/coach role and remained there until 1962.
Coaching in Singapore and Trinidad for the British Council, Brennan returned to
Appleby Park in 1967 and managed Shields to FA Amateur Cup success two years
later.
Following an unsuccessful stint as Darlington Manager in 1971 and some time
coaching South Shields, he concentrated on his business and lived in Whitley
Bay.
Frank passed away in March 1997 and some nine years after his death was nominated by United for the FA Cup Team of
Heroes, to celebrate 125 years of the competition.
His name also lives on in a trophy award annually by Sport Newcastle to unsung heroes of sport in the region.
1976
Darren Huckerby born, Nottingham.
(1995-96)
Winger whose major
contribution to history was the friendly match arranged as
part of the £450K transfer that brought him from Lincoln City to SJP
back in November 1995.
Injury denied Huck the chance to play in that game, but new boy Alan
Shearer featured and scored his first goal for the club in July 1996 at
a packed Sincil Bank.
By then he had already made what proved to be his sole league appearance for
United, coming off the bench to replace Paul Kitson in a home win over Bolton
in January 1996.
That came three days after his senior debut - also as a substitute - in an FA
Cup replay defeat on penalties at SJP to Chelsea.
Returning to fitness in the early weeks of the 1996/97 season, Darren was unable
to get near the first team and was loaned to Millwall for two months, scoring
three times and posting a succession of good displays.
Newly-installed Coventry City boss Gordon Strachan bid £1m for him and Huck
headed for Highfield Road in November 1996.
His first City goal came on his fourth outing - inevitably at home to
Newcastle.
The 1999/00 season began with Huck joining Leeds in a £400K deal but by
the end of 2000, he'd moved on to Manchester City.
Promotion to the Premiership followed in 2001/02 and Darren
scored against us again in what was to be our final fixture at Maine Road - a 0-1
reverse.
By then he was being managed once again by Kevin Keegan, who loaned him out to
Nottingham Forest in February 2003.
The next season saw Huck borrowed by Norwich City and he found life at Carrow
Road to his liking, with a permanent £750K deal agreed in December 2003.
He helped the Canaries to promotion and managed another goal against us, albeit in a League Cup defeat by Newcastle
at SJP.
The man nicknamed Forrest Gump since his time at Coventry finally ended his
stint in Norfolk in 2008 and moved to the USA with San Jose Earthquakes.
However, a hip problem forced him to hang up his boots following surgery in
2009, after which he set up his own PR company and became involved in a
charitable foundation - also becoming a Norwich City Ambassador.
"Let's
be hucking you!"
1977
Death of Matthew McNeil, 49.
(1949-51)
1986
Steven Istead born, South Shields. (2002)
Winger who featured fleetingly at Academy level
for the Magpies before opting to join
Hartlepool United during 2002.
A first team debut for 'Pools came at the age of just
16, but
"Icy" failed to hold down a
regular starting place and mostly appeared
from the bench.
Leaving Victoria Park in 2006, Steven had
spells at Gateshead and Consett before
moving to Peterhead and a reunion with ex-'Pools manager
Neale
Cooper.
Returning to Ilkeston Town, Istead later represented
Mansfield Town, Alfreton Town, Eastwood Town
and Buxton. | |

The first of a number of charity matches United took part in

Newcastle began a three match tour of Scotland by facing
the Scottish Second Division side at the Easter Road home

United's fourth trip to The Crystal Palace and at last the
jinx was cracked, if not broken entirely.
Trailing at half time to Harry Tuffnell's shot, United's
Albert Shepherd saw his effort disallowed before Jackie
Rutherford's late header forced a replay at Goodison Park.

Ex-Magpie Jackie Rutherford netted for the Gunners at
Highbury, while current Newcastle forward John King
secured a point on what proved to be the final appearance
of his United career.
1924 A Magpies
reserve XI travelled to local amateur side Stargate Rovers
for a benefit match in aid of former referee John Mullen,
who had recently lost his eyesight.
Stargate's Best struck in the 50th and 75th minute as
the hosts ran out 2-0 winners.

This point pretty much confirmed that the league championship was
on its way to SJP for the fourth time, even though
two games still remained to be played.
Huddersfield had
only drawn at home to Manchester United meaning they
were four points behind the Magpies with a much worse
goal average.

Vandals broke into the ground before this bank holiday
game and sprayed slogans on the pitch related to an
ongoing criminal trial.
A claim of broken glass also having been scattered was found to be
false and after the offending slogans had been painted out, the match went ahead as
scheduled.
Kevin Carr saved Alan Shoulder's penalty and also a follow-up shot with Keegan heading United's
third seconds later as play
rapidly switched to the other end of the field.
Victory and favourable results in the games involving
rivals Manchester City and Grimsby Town meant that
promotion was in reach - United having a seven point
cushion with four games remaining.

After hitting the post through Kieron Dyer within

after two early setbacks.
Ian Harte cracked a second half penalty wide of Shay
Given's goal, but that would have been an undeserved winner for
a Leeds side including future Magpies Michael Bridges, Lee
Bowyer and birthday (old) boy Darren Huckerby.
Alan Smith meanwhile was the bench, James Milner in the juniors,
Jonathan Woodgate was injured and Mark Viduka months away from limping into Elland Road from

Reserves were taken to extra time and penalties by Blyth Spartans in the

Two second half goals made it a memorable return to Anfield for Rafa Benitez
and gave United another crucial point in the fight to avoid relegation.
But a draw seemed incredibly unlikely at half-time when United trailed to
goals from Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana and even getting a shot on goal
seemed doubtful.
A point separated United, the mackems and Norwich with
two of those three set to join already relegated Aston
Villa.
