Newcastle welcome the Clarets to St. James' Park for a non-televised 3pm Premier League kick-off this afternoon.

FAO anyone using the Metro, there's no service in either direction all day Saturday (and Sunday) between Benton and Wallsend. Replacement bus service 900 will operate between Four Lane Ends and Wallsend via all stations.

Football Bobbles will have a
stall outside the Trent House from Noon, with new stocks of several hats including the brand-new Woltemade bobble. Card payments accepted.

Team: Nick Pope, Sven Botman, Kieran Trippier, Emil Krafth and William Osula remain out while Sandro Tonali is doubtful after his withdrawal during the Spurs game.

Yoane Wissa could be included in a matchday squad for the first time since signing from Brentford in September. The striker has featured twice in behind closed doors games during the last week.

Coral rate this game as follows:

NUFC win 2/7
The draw 19/4
BFC win 17/2

New customers receive a £20 bet when staking £5 on sports (T's & C's apply). Find those markets online here 


BFC: Zeki Amdouni, Jordan Beyer and Connor Roberts are unavailable while Hannibal Mejbri is suspended. Axel Tuanzebe could return.

The Clarets suffered their fifth straight PL loss of the season on Wednesday, beaten 0-1 at home by Crystal Palace.

Away from Turf Moor, Scott Parker's side have lost six of their seven PL games - their only points on the road to date coming from a 3-2 victory at Wolves.

Burnley have scored at least once in six of those seven PL away games, managing 10 goals in the process, although conceding 21. That compares to Newcastle scoring seven and conceding nine in the same amount of away games.

There's a first return to Gallowgate for Martin Dubravka, who is an ever-present in the PL so far this season.

Referee:
Stuart Attwell - quick return to NUFC action for the Warwickshire whistler, after taking charge of the 1-3 defeat at Brentford last month and dismissing Dan Burn.

Update:
We will rebuild....

Following a fan event where club figures including David Hopkinson spoke, the CEO briefed journalists to confirm that a new stadium quite literally isn't on the horizon and that improvements to St. James' Park are now proposed:

"One of the things we are reviewing right now is that we’re going to be here, in something like the current format, for years.

"I think that there are some things we’ve maybe not done because we’ve been waiting for the bigger decision. I think we’re going to think about the next phase of our lives, and recognise that there are things we need to do now with regard to the stadium issue.

"Recognising that we are going to be at St. James’ Park in pretty much its current format for years to come is important: we’re thinking through what improvements should we make in that intervening period.

"I want to be really clear on this. We have not taken a decision on what we're going to do.

We're modelling a multitude of different scenarios, but even if we were to make a decision tomorrow, which we're not going to do, it still takes years of permits, planning, finance, construction etc.

"That's the case whatever we choose - re-imagining St. James' Park or building a new stadium. Either takes years and years.

"I lived through the total transformation of the Bernabeu. I was around through years of work. I love what they've built - I think we've learned a lot from studying what they've built - but these projects are years long.

"Even if we could wave a wand right now, and wake up tomorrow morning with a decision over a brand new stadium, those revenues would still not show up for five years.

"But if you look at something like global partnerships and global sponsorships, which I've talked about a lot, then we can do that today. We can literally wake up tomorrow morning and get cracking on closing some of those obvious and less obvious opportunities.

"So much of this is self-help, and so much of our ability to increase our revenues, and therefore our competitiveness, is within our purview right now. They're right in front of us, right now.

"I don't know to what extent that that will sustain us beyond 2030, without a major inflection - stadium renovation or rebuild, other major changes. But what I'm focusing on is what we do need to change between now and 2030? Our plan is to set us up to succeed in these next four or five years, and then it's also about what steps are we taking to make sure we succeed beyond 2030?

"But recognising that we are going to be at St. James' Park in pretty much its current format for years to come is important. We're thinking through what improvements should we make in that intervening period? We could make tweaks and changes to improve the here and now."

Turning to the Darsley Park training ground:

"When you look at the facility you have today, it's probably a seven out of 10. It gets the job done. I don't think we have a lot of world-class talent that say: 'I want to stay here because of the training ground' or 'I want to go to Newcastle because of the training ground'.

"Even with the renovation we're doing, which will make it better, we probably only get to an eight. We don't get to a 10. We can't get to a 10 on the current footprint, which is the reason why we're considering - not considering, planning - a very big investment to go and build a 10.

"If you look at the arms race that training grounds have become - in the Premier League, in football, in North American sports - the players are spending an inordinate amount of time there and the expectations have changed and evolved from simply where we train to: 'Yeah, that's where I drop the kids off because they're being babysat while I'm training' or 'This is where the car is being looked after' and 'This is where I get my haircut'.

"This is what's happened in North American sports, and now there are changing expectations here too of what players are going to want in order to choose to come here or stay. Those are the investments we're going to have to make to get to a world-class level."

Speaking about his ambition for the club:

"By 2030, I see this club being in the debate about being the top club in the world. That’s where I see us by 2030 — and that kind of progress doesn’t take as long as you might think.

"What it takes is clarity of conviction. First off, we need to be totally aligned about the fact that that’s what we want to do. We have to have the courage to ignore those that doubt us, and even those that laugh at us, because there will be some.

"I've done it with a total underperformer, and that's definitely not what Newcastle is. Newcastle is already good. I've worked at a club that was really bad, lost all the time.

"In 2014, we lost just about as bad as you can. In 2019, we were having a parade. So, it's eminently doable, but it takes that clarity, conviction and commitment.

"We want more cups. That is how you define success. Eddie
(Howe) is special. My job is to help Eddie succeed in his job.

"Can Newcastle win the Premier League? Yeah, of course. Why not? Our job is to set ourselves up to be perennial contenders.

"This is a tough league, and the correlation between points earned and revenue is undeniable, so, again, so much of this is self-help and doing everything we can to try to increase our ability to compete by driving revenues.

"I love the reference to 2030 because if it's not time-bound, then it's fantasy. It's where do we need to get to by the end of 2025? Where by 2026? 2027? Where are we ahead, where are we behind? What's our mitigation plan? How are we adjusting things?

"What I will not tell you is that we have written the plan for every granular element that's going to happen between now and 2030. But what we have got is a highly specific direction of travel and key milestones that need to be hit.

"We're not going to win by accident. We're going to win because we've been thoughtful and strategic about the organisation we've constructed, whose sole purpose is to win.

"We have some gaps. Very shortly, we'll be in the marketplace looking for a chief strategy officer. We'll be looking for a chief marketing officer. With Pete's (Silverstone, ex CCO) departure, we're going to take the opportunity to think about whether we should have someone focusing exclusively on revenue. I want to make sure that we're recruiting world-class talent.

"I had two conversations yesterday with folks that are saying, 'Look, I see where this is going, I want to be part of it, it's a rocket ship, I see that, and I want to get on that rocket ship'.

"We're going to be very thoughtful and disciplined about some areas where we're not world-class today. I'll just use one example. Our digital ecosystem today is not world-class. We're not going to achieve our ultimate ambition without world-class digital and data capabilities.

"We are not well structured today to be in the same conversation as some of these top clubs, Madrid, Barça, We have to close that gap. Madrid have the number one revenue and a lot of that is digital. It drives revenue. When I was there, they offered eight different languages. Regional content is very important to them. We have to look at our global following growth.

“We have to grow our revenues, If we get this right, most of our fans will never come to St. James’ Park
(because it's a global brand*)."

* the context of that comment is a reference to the Real Madrid model, where vast numbers of people claim an allegiance to the Spanish club, despite having no means of travelling there - or a valid passport to do so....

2025/26:

ST holders have 24 hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to buy.


Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.

The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above that point division get a couple of hours head start.

Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log on and complete your purchase regardless. 

Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

On This Day in History
6th December


Born Or Died:

1915 Benny Craig born, Leadgate, Durham. (1938-50)

As a player and coach, Benny served United for over 40 years after arriving in a £4,000 move from Huddersfield Town.

Finding employment as a brickworker, he'd moved to the Terriers on amateur forms in 1934 - also having trials at both Arsenal and the mackems.

Debuting in a 0-3 loss at Blackburn Rovers in November 1938, the full back played in the abortive 1939/40 season before league football was suspended and then joined the Royal Artillery - seeing service in Europe and winning the Military Medal for his part in the Anzio landings.

Returning to the club after WW2, Craig was part of the side who clinched promotion to Division One in 1948 and played on in the top flight until the 1949/50 season.

Benny then became assistant trainer and also worked with the club's younger players - coaching the side who captured the FA Youth Cup in 1962 and helping to develop players such as Bob Moncur and David Craig.

His death was recorded in January 1982.

1951 David Mills born, Whitby. 
(1982 & 1983-84)

Another player who served the Magpies in both onfield and off-field roles, Mills hit the headlines in 1979 when he became the first £500K footballer - the record transfer fee seeing him leave Boro for West Brom.

His career stalled at the Hawthorns however and a loan move brought him to SJP for the second half of the 1980/81 season.

Despite impressing, no transfer deal was concluded and Mills ended up swapping the Baggies for Sheffield Wednesday. 

He was to get his transfer to Tyneside though in 1983, when a part-exchange deal with Imre Varadi was concluded.

And his contribution to our promotion campaign is often overlooked, with vital strikes against Fulham and Swansea, plus a goal on the day that a top-flight return was confirmed, with a 2-2 draw at Huddersfield.

Departing from Newcastle, Mills returned to Middlesbrough and also appeared for both Darlington and Whitby Town.

However, the events of January 1988 proved to be life-changing for him, as he survived a fatal car crash in the Tyne Tunnel but had to undergo extensive facial surgery.  

After working in the local sports media, Mills returned to SJP as a scout in 1995 and served seven managers in over a decade.

He was then recruited by Boro in a similar role in 2008, before joining Hull City.

1956 Peter Kelly born, East Kilbride, Scotland. (1973-81)

Right back who came through the junior ranks at SJP and seemed destined for great things, debuting against Chester City in a home League Cup tie in December 1974.

However, Kelly's time on Tyneside was blighted by a cruciate injury sustained in a game at Luton Town in December 1978. 

That injury ultimately forced him out of professional football, although he did continue to play for Gateshead.

Peter also ran a newsagents in West Denton for a time, along with fellow former Magpie and Tynesiders team mate, Terry Hibbitt.

1967 Ian Bogie born, Walker. (1986-89)

Initially billed as the next 'Gazza', midfielder Bogie came to United's attention playing for Wallsend Boys Club and showed promise in our 1985 FA Youth Cup winning side.

However, his career at United was curtailed by manager Jim Smith in the 1988/89 season, Bogie joining Preston North End in order to secure regular first team football - United taking Gary Brazil in exchange. 

Later moves took him to Millwall, Leyton Orient, Port Vale and Kidderminster Harriers, before a back injury forced him to quit.

Bogie then finished his playing career at Bedlington Terriers before managing Walker Central and coaching at Tyne Met College.

Moving on to become assistant boss at Gateshead in 2006, he took charge of the Tynesiders a year later.

Under Ian's guidance, the Tynesiders gained successive promotions from the Northern Premier League and Conference North to the National Conference.

After three and a half seasons at the International Stadium, poor results led to Bogie's dismissal in December 2012 - returning to manage Conference rivals Stockport County three months later.

Failing to avoid relegation, he resigned in August 2013 after a poor start to the following season.

Ian later coached at Newcastle United's Academy before exiting in 2024.

1970 Death of Ted Robledo, 52, in mysterious circumstances while serving on an oil tanker in the Persian Gulf. (1949-53)

1998 Cedwyn Scott born, Hexham. (2020)

November 2020 saw Newcastle grant a trial to Hebburn Town's prolific striker after he'd found the net 21 times in just 14 games for the Northern League side.

Scott was with Huddersfield Town’s academy before playing senior football in Scotland with Dundee, Berwick Rangers and Forfar Athletic.

Darlington offered Cedwyn a trial  in the summer 2019, after which he moved to Dunston UTS before joining Hebburn in 2020.

Spending four weeks training with United's U23 squad, he made two appearances in Premier League 2 and also appeared against former club Huddersfield but didn't get on the scoresheet in any of them.

Newcastle declined to offer him a contract and Scott went back to Hebburn before agreeing a short-term deal at Carlisle United.

Failing to find the net in seven League Two outings (all from the bench), Cedwyn left Brunton Park in May 2021 and signed for Gateshead.

After scoring 22 times for the Tynesiders, Cedwyn joined Notts County in June 2022, helping them to promotion to League Two with 15 goals.

Sidelined with a knee injury for part of the 2023/24 season, Scott was granted time off by the Magpies in October 2024 after going public to disclose his ongoing mental health issues and treatment.

Resigning for Carlisle United in January 2025, he joined National League North side South Shields that August.

Newcastle extended their winless run to four games on a Bramall Lane pitch that was described by the "Star Green 'Un" scribe as "very treacherous, with "pools of water dotted all over."

Forward Andy Smailes made his debut for the Magpies and had a great chance to mark the game with a goal, only to miss his kick entirely. Tom Hall followed in though and hit his first club goal since 1915.

The Pirates marked the end of their centenary year with a kickabout at Eastville - Newcastle participating as part of the deal for goalkeeper Martin Thomas the previous summer.

Their generosity came at some cost however, losing full back John Ryan to injury after barely two minutes.

Paul Goddard netted the first goal of his spell at United with a fine strike in front of a large travelling support gathered on the Holmesdale Terrace at Selhurst Park. 

Midfielder Tony Nesbit came off the bench for a first team debut, one of only three senior appearances he made for United.

Wright(36)

Newcastle started well but couldn't force the ball past the imposing figure of David Seaman in the Gunners goal.

However, after Ian Wright ended his long goal famine (revealing a T-shirt with the words "At Last" on it), United became disheartened.

With Alan Shearer still missing and Tino Asprilla barely contributing, the striking burden fell on veteran John Barnes and youngster Jon Dahl Tomasson -  neither impressing home fans.

An entertaining afternoon at the Riverside saw Newcastle deservedly preserve their unbeaten record against the smoggies in the Premiership.

Paul Gascoigne set up Boro's opener (before being pursued across the pitch by a pair of scantily-clad lassies dressed as Santa) before Laurent Charvet's powerfully-struck volley.
NUFC.com match report

Gazza always had his 
knockers at the Riverside...

With Shay Given injured, Steve Harper made the most of his start with a fine display, unluckily conceding the second goal when Colin Cooper's effort deflected off Aaron Hughes.

Nicos Dabizas levelled within two minutes of arriving from the subs bench, heading in a cross from Charvet.

For the fourth season in a row, Michael Owen was missing from the Liverpool side - an attendance record he'd maintain in later years, when on our payroll.... 

The atmosphere wasn't helped by a Saturday lunchtime kick-off for TV , and when Jonathan Woodgate and Titus Bramble emulated Laurel and Hardy to give Danny Murphy a free shot at Shay Given, things looked bleak.

However, a second revival gained some reward when Chris Kirkland made contact with Laurent Robert in the area; Alan Shearer slamming home the resultant penalty.

Seemingly set for a second victory in as many seasons over the Reds, United couldn't press home their advantage: Liverpool twice clearing off their goal line form and Shola Ameobi guilty of two late misses.

Christmas came early for Glenn Roeder when midfielder Emre hit a stunning late winner to grab three priceless points in a topsy-turvy encounter.

Antoine Sibierski had headed United in front, but a brace from James Harper gave The Royals an interval advantage.

Obafemi Martins then went down in the area under challenge from Ibrahima Sonko and Rob Styles awarded a slightly soft spot kick.

After prolonged negotiations with the allotted penalty taker Nobby Solano, Martins stepped up to beat Marcus Hahnemann for his first league goal on home soil.

Reading's Harper then lost possession on the halfway line to Emre, who advanced on goal and with defenders back-pedalling, drove home a fine swerving effort
to win it.

Owen(8,24)

In a season of self-inflected wounds and misadventures, this game saw United at their profligate worst. 

Future Potter Michael Owen netted twice as Joe Kinnear's side tied the visitors in knots with fluent attacking moves and the three points seemed to be in the bag by half time.

Danny Guthrie remained in the dressing room with a hip problem however and with no midfielders on the bench, United altered their formation and sat on their lead.

City eventually accepted the invitation to have a go at us and after a route one goal, went in search of an equaliser.

Their chance appeared to have gone when former Magpie defender Abdoulaye Faye missed a good chance in the last minute.

However, he made no mistake from close range when another chance presented itself, with JFK sent to the stands for protesting about the free-kick which led to Faye's goal.

2010 Chris Hughton followed Sam Allardyce, Kevin Keegan and Alan Shearer out of the door as another manager departed from the Mike Ashley-led Magpies.

Despite gaining promotion and some notable victories following our return, two points from five games persuaded Ashley and Del Boy to hit the eject button.

Meanwhile, in Holland, Ajax had parted company with Martin Jol and people were already putting 2+2 together....

Already through to the knockout stages, United's final Europa League group game ended in a deserved defeat, as the hosts topped Group D.

A measure of Alan Pardew's disinterest in the tie was his decision to recall Nile Ranger, while both Mehdi Abeid and James Tavernier also started.

And had it not been for some outstanding saves from Rob Elliot, the punishment could have been more severe. Future Magpie Henri Saivet featured for Bordeaux.

Substitute Papiss Cisse claimed another memorable brace against the Blues; Jose Mourinho's men losing their seasonak unbeaten record and leaving SJP empty-handed for the third time in a row.

But there were 15 minutes of absolute torture for United to endure as Steven Taylor was sent off, Didier Drogba scored and a ludicrous six and a half minutes of added time was eventually seen out before Alan Pardew marked his fourth anniversary as Newcastle manager in style. 

And the incredible result was achieved with third choice goalkeeper, Jak Alnwick, replacing the injured Rob Elliot at the break and the young stopper played his part in a magnificent second half display on his senior debut.

Gini Wijnaldum inspired an unlikely but welcome win to relieve the pressure on boss Steve McClaren before the Sky cameras.

Like the previous two, our third league win of the season was on live TV and this was the least expected following our 1-5 loss at Crystal Palace and Liverpool's 6-1 midweek win.

A much-improved display saw United out-fight and out-play the Reds, who returned to SJP the following summer to sign our second scorer - as predicted in our match report!
