2026/27:
Murrayfield confirmed
As claimed last week, Newcastle
have now confirmed a pre-season kickabout against Everton on
Wednesday August 12th (5.15pm) at Edinburgh's Murrayfield
Stadium.
Prices are from
£35 adults/£17 U16s (plus booking fees), with sales periods
as follows - details of allocation tbc:
Thu 28.05.2026 @ 4pm ST holders & members
Mon 01.06.2026 @ 10am those registering
here
Tue 02.06.2026 @ 10am general sale
All ticket sales are via Ticketmaster - ST holders and members
should receive an email with a dedicated link to purchase. A
Ticketmaster account isn't required in order to complete any
purchase, as there is a guest checkout.
As NUFC aren't selling tickets direct, there's no loyalty point
requirement and no point will be issued to attendees.
The teatime kick-off does mean that it's possible to get back to
London Kings Cross via train post-match - which may be handy, given
the price of hotels in Edinburgh due to the annual Fringe Festival
taking place at the same time.
We remain uncertain whether this is a "dry run" to test the
viability of staging future NUFC games at Murrayfield, were SJP to
be unavailable due to reconstruction.
Regarding the rest of pre-season, the players will report back
around
July 13th and include a training camp in the Spanish resort of La Manga.
A pair of home friendlies over the weekend of August 15th/16th are
anticipated, with Serie A side AS Roma and French League Strasbourg
among rumoured opponents.
Update:
Catalans
win Gordon race
Update: Sky Sports relayed footage of Gordon leaving
Newcastle by private plane on Thursday morning, before Spanish media
recorded his arrival at El Prat airport.
Earlier: Anthony Gordon's declared desire to play at the top
level should be realised later today (Thursday) when he becomes a
Barcelona player for a £70m fee.
The 25 year-old will complete the formalities of his medical today
before joining the England squad on Monday. He'll complete a
pre-contract agreement before the deal is ratified when the transfer window opens on June 15th.
He'll reportedly sign a five year deal at the Nou Camp.
Barca Sporting Director Deco successfully concluded negotiations for the
player in London this week, amid abortive approaches from Bayern
Munich and Liverpool.
Gordon faced the Catalans three times in the season just
ended for Newcastle in the Champions League, netting once - in the
1-2 home loss last September.
Arriving from Everton in the January 2023 transfer window at a
claimed cost of £45m, the Toffees inserted a sell-on clause
giving them a percentage of any profit Newcastle make from a
future transfer.
Update:
Safe standing,
seat swaps etc.
NUFC confirm that the North West Corner of L7 is to be converted to
safe standing ahead of next season, with a capacity of 1,741 places
in sections L7C, L7D and L7E.
That follows consultations over improving the atmosphere and
recreates the singing section in that part of the ground, disbanded
in 2011 due to persistent standing (and their vocal output mocking
then-owner Mike Ashley).
The process of relocating existing season ticket holders to and
from that area takes place next week, with other ST holders also
able to move seats - details
here
* seat swaps can only be requested between Mon 01.06.2026 and Fri
05.06.2026.
Unlikely lads:
Rob heads off
Having completed a startling change of fortunes at Gateshead
following his return in January, Rob Elliot has departed from
the International Stadium once again.
Financial pressures at the Tynesiders left the 40 year-old former
Magpie goalkeeper facing budget cuts and the loss of players and
staff ahead of next season.
Unconfirmed reports claim that Elliot could fill the vacancy at
fellow National League side Southend United, who have parted company
with their manager despite a sixth place finish and FA Trophy
success at Wembley.
SJP old boys on the move recently include:
Dan Barlaser left Boro
Rafa Benitez left Panathinaikos (Manager)
Lee Clark left Rotherham United (Manager)
Lee Clark now Hartlepool United (Manager)
Rob Elliot left Gateshead (Manager)
Isaac Hayden left QPR
Chris Hogg now Northampton Town (Manager)
Steve McClaren now Rotherham United (Head of Football)
Michael O'Neill left Blackburn Rovers (Manager)
Scott Parker left Burnley (Manager)
Callum Roberts left Scunthorpe United
Dylan Stephenson left Dagenham & Redbridge
James Tavernier left Rangers
Dan Ward left South Shields
Contract:
Lewis commits
From NUFC,
Monday:
"Newcastle
United are delighted to announce that Academy graduate Lewis Miley
has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
"The 20-year-old has penned a six-year deal to keep him at
St. James' Park until 2032."
Lewis joined the club's Academy aged seven and debuted for
the U18s against Burnley in August 2021 - with elder brother Jamie
in the same line-up.
Winning his first England cap for the U17s in August 2022, within
days he'd been blooded at reserve level during an EFL Trophy tie
away to Doncaster Rovers.
A hectic few months followed during which Lewis scored his first
U21 goals, made two senior appearances in friendly matches and won
the Jack Hixon Sport Newcastle award for most promising local
youngster.
Introduced late on in United's 5-0 friendly win over Al-Hilal in
Riyadh, Miley then had another brief runout in the home victory over
Rayo Vallecano days later.
An unused substitute for United's Premier League trip to
Bournemouth in February, his 17th birthday in May 2023 brought
confirmation of a first professional deal.
His first competitive start came against Manchester City that
September and he became Newcastle's youngest ever European player
against Borussia Dortmund at 17 years and 191 days.
Lewis also holds the record for the club's youngest ever Premier
League scorer, after netting in the 3-0 home victory over Fulham
that December.
Having signed his first professional deal on his 17th birthday in
May 2023, he put pen to paper on a long-term contract contract the
following January.
The 2024/25 campaign included a maiden England U21 appearance
against Spain but he was an unused substitute as Newcastle were
victorious in the Carabao Cup Final.
Lewis started regularly in the 2025/26 season in both midfield
and at full back, scoring Premier League, Carabao Cup and Champions
League goals during a 19-day spell before Christmas.
However injury then saw him sidelined for 10 weeks, returning in
April 2026, only for a training ground injury to end his season
prematurely.

Championship:
What lies beneath
Hull City defeated
Middlesbrough 1-0 in the Championship playoff Final at Wembley on
Saturday, Ollie McBurnie's added-time effort meaning that the Tigers
join Coventry City and
Ipswich Town in the Premier League next season.
Here's a recent history of NUFC visits to the three sides:
Coventry City (last faced in the PL 2000/01)
The Sky Blues have moved from Highfield Road since our most recent
top-flight visit, a 2-0 win in September 2000 thanks to goals from
Alan Shearer and Kevin Gallacher.
The CBS Arena will become the 62nd different venue to host Newcastle
in the PL and they have a 100% record from their two previous visits
in other competitions: a 3-2 League Cup win in 2008 and a 4-1
Championship victory in 2009/10.
Ipswich Town (last faced in the PL 2024/25)
United return to Portman Road after a one season absence, having
scored four goals without reply there in late 2024 - Jacob Murphy
getting one and some Swede the rest.
Hull City (last faced in the PL 2014/15)
A 3-0 victory in January 2015 gave John Carver a first PL win as
interim boss, Remy Cabella, Sammy Ameobi and Yoan Gouffran all
finding the net against Steve Bruce's Tigers.
The Magpies returned under Rafa Benitez to draw 1-1 in the Carabao
Cup Quarter-final during November 2016 before exiting on penalties
in ham-fisted style - missing all but one of the four spot kicks
they took.
Newcastle's most recent game at the MKM Stadium was a friendly in
2024, winning 2-0. That was their fourth pre-season visit after
kickabouts in 2003, 2007 and 2018.
PS: The arrival of those three clubs at the expense of Burnley, West
Ham and Wolves means that Newcastle's annual mileage will increase
from 8,162 miles to 8,376.

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.
Regardless of the loyalty point level a game sells out at, to purchase a
ticket you must have applied in the initial 24 hour window.
The initial 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 usually get two hours head start.
NB: emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify due to your points total, log
on and complete your purchase.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants are then offered to unsuccessful applicants with a
reduced loyalty points total - new applications cannot be made at this time.
Only those within the new loyalty point total are
eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already
closed.
PL away ticket prices will remain unchanged at £30 for both 2026/27 and

On This Day in History |
|
28th May |
|
Born Or Died:
1908 Stan Barber born, Wallsend.
(1925-28)
Left half
whose sole senior appearance for came when promoted from
the reserves to replace Willie Gibson during March 1928.
Sadly the Magpies were beaten 1-5 away
at Burnley in that game and Barber was transferred
to Bristol City that summer.
Later playing for Exeter City, Stan was part of the Grecians side who reached
the Quarter Finals of the FA Cup in the 1930/31 season before losing to the
mackems.
Ending his professional career with Brighton & Hove Albion, Barber
returned to Tyneside and played on for Wallsend.
He passed away in April 1984.
1909
William Birkett Forster born, Walker. (1932-38)
Right back
acquired from Howdon British Legion for £25 during May 1932, initially on
amateur forms before signing professionally in November of that year.
Forster's senior debut came when deputising for Joe Richardson in a 1-1 home
draw with Burnley in March 1936, with two further outings during the following
season.
Joining Southend United in a £150 deal during August 1938, Billy made just
half a dozen appearances for the Shrimpers that season before moving again.
Signing for Bristol Rovers, the outbreak of WW2 quickly curtailed his career
however and by September 1942 he was back on his native Tyneside,
guesting for Gateshead.
Forster's death was recorded in Whitley Bay during February 1975.
1914 Henry
Clifton born, Newburn.
(1938-46)
Another player who lost his best years to World War II, inside
forward "Harry" made an £8,500 switch to Tyneside from Chesterfield
in June 1938, having previously been rejected by the Magpies.
Undergoing an unsuccessful trial at West Bromwich Albion early in his career,
The Spireites signed Harry from Scotswood in 1933 on the advice of their North
East scout Harry Dormand and he first featured at senior level on New Years
Day 1935.
and collected a record transfer fee for him five years later after netting 26
goals in the 1937/38 season. He'd ended that campaign with an England call-up
and infamously gave a Nazi salute in Berlin before a friendly international,
although he didn't play.
Making a scoring debut against Plymouth Argyle at SJP that August, Clifton
then added 16 more that season as United ended up with a mid-table spot in
Division Two.
The onset of World War II however saw his career curtailed and Harry saw
military service in the Middle East, guesting for Chelsea when back in Blighty.
A single England cap came in December 1939, scoring in a 2-1 win over Scotland
in front of 15,000 spectators at SJP.
Returned to SJP, Clifton played in United's two-legged FA Cup tie against
Barnsley in the 1945/46 season but by the time the Football League resumed
fully in 1946 though, he was a Grimsby Town player.
Later appearing for Goole Town and Sutton Town, Clifton then worked in the
steel industry at Sheepbridge near Chesterfield and also for a time at
Arkwright Colliery.
Harry's Spireite connections resurfaced in March 1968, when he was made
Steward of the newly-built Saltergate Club.
He died back on Tyneside in 1998.
1986 Charles N'Zogbia born, Harfleur, France. (2004-09)
Tipped off by a French-based contact, Magpies scout Charlie
Woods arranged a trial during July 2004 for left winger Charles on the
strength of video clips.
Instantly impressing in a training ground game, United signed the 18 year-old
but encountered resistance from N'Zogbia's former club Le Havre - who had
failed to reach agreement on a professional deal.
The dispute ultimately involved FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport,
the former deciding that Le Havre's claim on the player was against European
law and the latter setting an initial compensation amount of £250,000 -
although appeals continued until at least 2007.
Signing in August 2004 and becoming the last arrival of Sir Bobby Robson's
reign, Charles debuted for the reserves in a 1-2 loss to Wolves at Molineux
shortly after.
Amid "Zog on the Tyne" headlines, a senior bow came the following
weekend at home to Blackburn Rovers, handed the briefest of debuts by caretaker
boss John Carver, consisting of ten seconds and no touches.
Incoming manager Graeme Souness didn't turn to N'Zogbia for three months and
it took a year for his first Premier League goal, against Fulham at Gallowgate.
Scoring in the first two games after Glenn Roeder took over, the midfielder delighted and annoyed fans
and team mates equally with sublime dribbles and pinpoint crosses followed by
elementary errors.
Responding poorly when circumstances saw Sam Allardyce forced to play him at left
back in 2007 although having recently put pen to paper on a new five year
deal.
Earning praise from Kevin Keegan for his role in steering the Magpies to
safety, talk of joining Spurs or Arsenal to be nearer to his capital-based relatives
was followed by press claims of interest from the rather less obvious Wigan
Athletic.
Revealing his wish to leave United during late 2008 in the wake of Joe Kinnear
infamously mispronouncing his name as "Insomnia" his final game was
a 0-3 loss at Blackburn Rovers in January - Shay Given also bowing out that
day at Ewood Park.
Charles joined Wigan in a part-exchange deal involving Ryan Taylor and helped
the Latics to a mid-table top-flight finish as his former club suffered
relegation.
2010 saw Charles in the
news for several reasons: rejecting a move to Birmingham City, arrested for getting a stand-in to complete the
theory
section of his driving test and winning a first full French cap.
The latter came after 10 U21 outings, appearing in a 1-2 loss to Norway: the first game
after France's World Cup exit calamity prompted a squad revamp.
In classic style Zog returned to SJP two months later, scoring twice in
quick succession for the Latics in a 2-2 draw.
The final hours of the January 2011 transfer window saw United
supposedly bid for Zog after selling Andy Carroll to Liverpool although
no business was done.
Those same links resurfaced in May 2011, although he eventually joined Aston
Villa, the following two seasons saw him play regularly for a collectively average
side.
Missing the whole of 2013/14 after rupturing his Achilles while on holiday in Miami,
Charles successfully returned to action in 2014/15 but dropped out of the
first team picture following the dismissal of Paul Lambert and a revolving
door of policy of replacement managers.
Leaving Villa Park as a free agent in June 2016 following his side's
relegation, Zog had an unsuccessful trial at the mackems before Nantes offered
him a contract.
However that was withdrawn after medical tests indicated a heart defect,
Charles forced into retirement (reports that he had joined Indian Premier League side Kerala Blasters were
false).
2001 Jacob Ramsey born, Birmingham. (2025-present)
Following the recruitment of Malick Thiaw and with moves to acquire forwards
Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa ongoing, United turned to Aston Villa to
strengthen their midfield area during August 2025.
Lifelong Villan Ramsey arrived for a claimed fee of £38m, the transfer
announced after his previous and current sides had drawn 0-0 at Villa Park
on the opening day of the Premier League season.
Ramsey didn't play in that game, debuting a week later during Newcastle's
2-3 home loss to Liverpool. He then started at Leeds the following weekend,
only for an ankle injury to sideline him for seven games.
Scoring the first of two goals at Spurs in February 2026 - the other came at
home to Everton later that month - he returned following a dubious dismissal
against Manchester United to end the season by showing glimpses of his
talent.
A graduate of Villa's academy, Jacob's first team debut came late in the
2018/19 Championship season, followed by a loan spell at League One
Doncaster Rovers.
14 goals in 136 PL games for Villa included a strike against Newcastle
during 2023.
Capped by England at U18, U19, U20 and U21 level, Ramsey was a team mate of Anthony Gordon at the
U21 Euros in 2023, although injury saw him miss the final.

Bobby Cowell's career in football was ended after a
heavy tackle from home full back Uckow left him with knee
ligament damage.
The German was sent off while Cowell was stretchered off
in the 63rd minute, later telling journalists:
"Uckow had been
given a hard time by Jimmy Scoular and he took it out on
me."
1961 A gallant
performance by the Welsh saw them lose 2-3 to Hungary in
Budapest, thanks to a debatable late penalty. United's
Ivor Allchurch was among the scorers.
1976 Two goals from future Magpie Mick Channon
helped England to a 3-2 win over Italy at Yankees Stadium
in New York City.
The friendly match was part of the US Bicentenary
celebrations and also featured Mike Doyle of Manchester
City - who was to have a brief unsuccessful trial at SJP
in 1982 that coincided with Channon's fleeting spell in a
black and white shirt.
1983 22,000 fans saw Bobby Robson's England side
draw 0-0 with Northern Ireland at Windsor Park, Belfast.
England finished this Home International fixture with

The final match of United's Pacific tour was played at the
National Stadium in Suva, the capital of Fiji.
After losing the first meeting of the sides 0-3 days
earlier, the Magpies were deserved winners second time
round, Gazza coming off the bench to net a late clincher. Also
on the bench was physio Derek Wright with United's
injury-ravaged squad down to its bare bones.
1988 Paul
