Wood
finish:
Chris miss time
Newcastle's decision to loan Chris Wood out to Nottingham Forest with the
proviso of signing him permanently looks an increasingly wise one, with news
that the striker will miss the rest of the season.
The 31 year-old New Zealand international forward has a thigh injury that will
sideline him for Forest's final 11 Premier League games - at which point he will
formally become their player on a 12 month contract.
It's disputed what the exact terms of the clause were, but his seven appearances
for Forest (five starts) and one goal have officially triggered the purchase
option and net the Magpies a fee in excess of £13m.
Academy:
U18/U21 update
Newcastle's U18s are back in home action this coming Saturday when
they play host to Nottingham Forest at Little Benton in the
U18 Premier League.
Originally advertised as a 1.30pm kick-off, the Premier League
website now indicates that this has been brought forward to 11am
(confirmation awaited).
Turning to the U21 side, Monday sees them playing a game at SJP when
Boro are the visitors in PL2.
It's a 7pm start with the East Stand open to the public. Admission
is free to season ticket holders and members or else £3 adults and
£1 concessions in cash at the turnstiles.
Premier
League:
Manchester
United (h)
Looking for their third successive victory, Eddie Howe's side return to Premier League action
at home to Manchester United on Sunday.
It's a 4.30pm kick-off live on Sky Sports and all tickets are
long since sold out.
Pre-match: Former Magpie Malcolm Macdonald is holding pre and
post-match talk-ins at The Dog and Parrot from 1.45pm,
returning at 7pm.
All welcome, no entry charge. Find it opposite Times Square on Clayton
Street West/Neville Street.
Since Matty Longstaff's match-winning strike at SJP in October 2019, the
Magpies have lost five times and drawn twice in seven league and cup
meetings with the Red Devils. The most recent of those came at Wembley
in the Carabao Cup Final.
Thanks to everyone who entered our
score prediction competition for this match, with a

(obviously).

NUFC: Joelinton
returns from
a two game suspension
as a consequence of amassing ten yellow cards in 22 Premier League
games this season. A further five cautions in the remaining 12 games
of the season would see the Brazilian banned for three games.
It was thought that Miguel Almiron would miss
out due to a thigh injury, although he has been seen cycling and running
at Darsley Park in recent days.
Nick Pope, Anthony Gordon and Allan Saint-Maximin have all been seen
training, along with Sven Botman. News on availability of Fabian Schar is awaited, after
he was excused a Swiss call-up to rest.
Speaking of Gordon,
it's almost exactly a year since he netted for Everton in a 1-0 PL
home victory over Manchester United.

MUFC: Casemiro is suspended, Donny van de Beek,
Christian Eriksen and Tom Heaton miss out through injury and there are doubts over
Alejandro Garnacho, Anthony Martial and Marcel Sabitzer. Raphael Varane
is expected to return.
Marcus Rashford withdrew from the England squad
after picking up a knock in the Fulham FA Cup game, but it's assumed
that he will miraculously recover and be at Gallowgate.
Away from Old Trafford this season, Manchester United have won six, drawn
two and lost five. However they have taken maximum points from just
one of their last four PL road trips - conceding seven goals without
reply at Anfield in the most recent of those.
Referee: Stuart Attwell. A fourth outing of the season involving
us for the Warwickshire whistler but a first away from the South
coast, following league and cup victories at Southampton and a draw
at Bournemouth.

2023/24:
Stand in the Corner
Monday saw NUFC announce
that 1,800 safe standing places in the South East Corner (Strawberry
Corner) of St. James' Park, will be installed for next season.
Five of the six sections in that area including all four of the
upper ones will be altered but there will
be no alteration to the overall capacity as a consequence.
Full press release:
Newcastle United can announce that licensed standing - commonly
known as 'safe standing' - will be introduced at St. James' Park as
part of an initial trial period at the start of the 2023/24 season.
A designated licensed standing section with space for approximately
1,800 home supporters will be installed in the South East Corner of
the stadium and will include the lower section of block B and the
upper sections of blocks C, D, E and F.
A similar provision will also be installed for visiting supporters
on Level 7 of the Leazes End.
The trial follows a supporter consultation process, during which
more than 4,000 fans responded to an online survey - with 70 fans
attending a subsequent working group session at St. James' Park to
provide more detailed feedback.
Of those surveyed online, 75 per cent were in favour of licensed
standing being introduced at St. James' Park - with the South East
Corner and Gallowgate End identified as the preferred location by
more than 70 per cent of respondents.
The club has also continued to monitor existing trials at other
stadiums in England, with licensed standing areas successfully
installed and safely managed at Wembley and a number of Premier
League grounds with the support of the Sports Ground Safety
Authority (SGSA).
For further information on licensed standing, please visit the
Football Supporters Association website.
What happens next:
The club has now contacted all affected supporters via email, giving
them the opportunity to remain as part of the trial or opt out.
Newcastle United is fully committed to equality, diversity and
inclusion and ensuring access for all. Season ticket holders who
have informed us they have a disability will receive a call directly
from the Supporter Services team over the coming days as we look to
ensure your matchday experience is as comfortable and enjoyable as
possible.
Fans wishing to move into the licensed standing area:
Should seats become available for other season ticket holders to
move into the licensed standing area, the club will communicate this
in due course.
In the meantime, we kindly ask supporters not to contact the Box
Office to register their interest in moving seats from other areas
of the stadium.
SJP:
The last stand...
The announcement of a partial return to standing at SJP prompted
various claims as to when terracing was last used by Newcastle
supporters at home games.
Following redevelopment of the Leazes and Gallowgate Ends, the final
part of the ground accommodating standing fans were the 6,400
capacity paddocks in front of the Milburn Stand.
These were scheduled for closure at the end of the 1993/94 season to
meet recommendations of the Taylor Report, which was commissioned
following the 1989 Hillsborough Stadium disaster.
However an appeal to the Department of Heritage by United saw them
gain a 12 month exemption; those areas remaining in use until a
season-closing 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace during May 1995.
Seats were immediately added to those areas along with other Milburn
Stand upgrades required to meet the criteria for hosting Euro '96
games the following year.
And with no home pre-season friendlies staged, the first all-seater
crowd at SJP then gathered for a 3-0 demolition of Coventry City in
August 1995.

fixtures confirmed
Newcastle's home game against

And confirmation of Newcastle's home meeting with Spurs has also now arrived,
with the Cockerels visiting SJP for a 2pm start on Sunday 23rd
April. That is also live on Sky Sports.
PS: A new date is still awaited for Newcastle's PL home
meeting with Brighton & Hove Albion, postponed due to
our Carabao Cup Final involvement in February.
Albion still also have a PL fixture against Manchester City to
schedule, but will play their outstanding game against Manchester
United on Thursday May 4th. That means the Newcastle game cannot be
that midweek.

On This Day in History |
30th March |
Born Or Died:
1941 John Mitten
born, Davyhulme, Manchester. (1958-61)
 Following
the appointment of Charlie Mitten as United boss, his son followed him from
Mansfield Town to SJP in September 1958.
An England
Youth international left winger, John made his first team debut against West Bromwich Albion in November of that year.
However, he missed
a penalty as Newcastle lost 2-1 in front of their own fans.
Retaining his place for a 3-2 defeat at Leeds the following Saturday, Mitten
junior wasn't sighted again in the first team until March 1960, when he enjoyed
a short run of games and scored his first senior goals, netting twice during a
4-1 victory at Bolton.
Following his father out of the club in 1961, John signed for Leicester City - also
playing county cricket for Leicestershire until 1963 as a right-handed
batsman/wicket keeper upon which he was granted a free transfer.
Pursued by Reading, Ipswich Town, QPR and Coventry City, Mitten instead agreed
a short-term move to his father's former club Manchester United.
However that came to nothing and he made a switch to Coventry in July 1963,
playing in the Sky Blue side along with future Magpie John Tudor that won promotion to the First Division in 1967.
Later appearing for Plymouth Argyle, Exeter City, Bath City, Trowbridge
Town, Sidmouth Town, his last club was Tiverton Town as player manager. He
remained in Devon following his retirement.

1949
John Hope born, Shildon.
(1969-71)

Goalkeeper who began his career as an apprentice with Darlington
in 1964 before turning professional three years later and making his bow for
the Quakers.
Moving to SJP in an £8,000 transfer in March 1969, John's only competitive
first team outing for Newcastle came in a 0-1 loss at Manchester City two
months later.
Also named as a substitute goalkeeper for Fairs Cup ties in the days before 'keepers made the
bench for domestic matches, Hope was never to be called upon.
Moving on to Sheffield United with David Ford in part exchange for John
Tudor in 1971, he helped the Blades gain promotion to Division One in his
first season - in part due to a record-setting run of seven clean sheets.
Called up by England at U23 level but never getting a game, Hope was loaned out
to Preston North End during the 1973/74 season and then left Bramall Lane on a
free transfer a year later.
With no takers for his services, John returned to the North East and to his
former trade as a welder, appearing briefly for non league Gateshead United.
Agreeing a two year deal with the Arcadia club in the South African city of
Pretoria, he lasted barely three months before packing his bags again and
joining Hartlepool United for the
1975/76 campaign.
Playing and coaching at non-league level for Stockton, Wingate, Whitby Town and
Willington, John subsequently spent time coaching both Darlington and
Hartlepool.
His death was reported in July 2016, following a diagnosis of Parkinson's
disease some years earlier.

1987 Death of Ron
Williams, 80.
(1933-35)

1994
Jetro Willems born, Rotterdam, Netherlands (2019-20)

The second arrival of the summer 2019 transfer window was a
Dutch international left back signed on a season-long loan from Bundesliga
side Eintracht Frankfurt.
The 25 year-old was first linked with a move to Tyneside in 2018 and was keen
to leave Germany after being used in a midfield role.
Rotterdam-born, Jetro's family came from the Dutch Caribbean island of Curacao
and he first played at hometown club Spartaan '20.
Joining Sparta Rotterdam in 2010, a move to PSV Eindhoven followed and he
played in the 2015 and 2016 title-winning sides alongside Luuk De Jong
and Gini Wijnaldum.
Moving on to Frankfurt in 2017, Willems won a German Cup winner's medal during
his first season at the club but proved unable to regain his place in the
Dutch squad.
First seen in the home friendly against St. Etienne, a competitive debut came
a week later from the bench at home to Arsenal.
Fielded in a left wing back role, Willems then marked his arrival in England
with a superb strike during our usual defeat at Anfield.
Jetro soon settled in and a goal in the 2-2 home draw with Manchester City
boosted his popularity further, claims that his loan was set to become
permanent looking to be welcomed by the player on social media.
His 20th game in our colours sadly proved to be his last: stretchered
off early on in a 1-0 home win over Chelsea during January 2020 and undergoing knee
surgery that ended his season and saw his loan terminated.
He recovered from his surgery enough to be on the bench for Eintracht but
failed to make a single appearance and left that Summer on a free transer.
Joining newly promoted Bundesliga side Greuther Furth in August 2021, Willems
played regularly but was unable to prevent them making an immediate return to the second
tier.
Exiting in September 2022, February 2023 saw him agree a deal at Eredivisie side Groningen
following a successful trial.
Jetro hit the headlines in only his fourth game for the club - quite literally
- punched by a Groningen follower while he was attempting to act as peacemaker
after trouble flared during the game against Heerenveen.

Newcastle's winless league run extended to five
games after this Good Friday defeat at Old
Trafford.
Conceding five at Blackpool in their last away game,
the Magpies held their own in the opening half and
could have gone in ahead if a marginal offside
hadn't denied Reg Davies a goal.
The biggest crowd at this venue since WW2 saw the
hosts take another stride to the title after the
break though, thanks in part to a salvo of three
goals in nine minutes.

Two mid-table sides met at Goodison, United
lengthening their winless run against the Toffees to
four games as their five match unbeaten run came to
an end.
Within seconds of falling two goals behind, the
Magpies reduced the arrears when defender Don
Donovan deflected the ball into his own goal under
pressure from Len White.

Just three days after winning 0-3 in East London,
the boot was on the other foot as the Magpies gained
revenge on Easter Monday night at SJP.
There was a first team debut for striker Jimmy
Gibson in a makeshift line-up, while Dick Keith
netted his first senior goal for the club.
Harry Obeney had been among the scorers at Upton
Park, but his late effort in the return fixture was no more
than a consolation.

A game remembered not only for Supermac's two goals but
also the most perfect first-time ball from Terry
Hibbitt that sent Mac away to score the second and
seal a place at Wembley.
The massed ranks of Newcastle fans on the Kop at
Hillsborough were "a sea of black and white
going up into the clouds" according to the
goalscorer - who had maintained his record of
finding the net in every round.
Burnley had actually been the better side in the
first half, with future Magpie Geoff Nulty hitting
McFaul's crossbar and United old boy Peter Noble
causing some problems.

The only game that caretaker manager Bobby
Saxton oversaw was an unlucky defeat, when United
appeared to be playing the home side and all three
officials.
Fraser Digby advanced off his line to block Mick
Quinn's 23rd minute penalty but wasn't penalised and
then Town were given a spot kick of their own, after
the ball was blasted at
John Anderson from point blank range.
Mackem Mick Hazard beat John Burridge from the spot
but Gavin Peacock's overhead kick sent the teams in
level at the interval.
Duncan Shearer then put the home side ahead, before
Burridge saved a second spot kick from Hazard and
Quinn levelled at 2-2.
Future Magpies Coach Colin Calderwood then netted
what turned out to be the winner for Ossie Ardiles
and Tony Galvin, who within hours had filled the
vacancies at SJP.

While Wembley Stadium was being rebuilt, SJP
hosted England's World Cup qualifier against Azerbaijan
- the third full international featuring the Three
Lions at the ground in just four years.
Scoreless at the interval, second half strikes at
the Leazes End from Steven Gerrard (51) and David Beckham (62) secured
victory in front of 49,046 fans.
For future Magpie Michael Owen though, the evening a
frustrating one, missing several chances to score the goal that would have seen him
match Alan Shearer's England goal tally.
Kieron Dyer earned his 28th England cap as a late
replacement for Wayne Rooney, while Newcastle's Jermaine Jenas was
on the bench.
2007 Media
reports in South Korea claimed that Newcastle
coaches were lining up a visit to assess local
youngsters as part of their bid to recruit new
talent for our Academy.
The

Our fourth

"expensive (£49), frustrating, dispiriting and
joyless, but entirely predictable and seemingly
unavoidable."
With Jonas Gutierrez filling in at left back, the
soon-to-be-deposed
Champions took their time going ahead but could have
ended up registering a landslide victory.
United dropped to 15th ahead of their Europa League Quarter Final
tie against Benfica - domestic survival now more of
a priority than romantic notions of
silverware.
