Bubble match confirmed:
On the buses
From NUFC, Monday:
Sunderland supporters attending the Tyne-Wear derby at St.
James’ Park on Sunday 6th December 2026 will be required to travel
to and from Wearside on official club coaches following a
recommendation by the stadium’s independent Safety Advisory Group
(SAG).
The recommendation follows advice from Northumbria Police to
the SAG, which is chaired by Newcastle City Council as the
Certifying Authority for St. James’ Park.
Both clubs were invited to attend a recent SAG meeting to hear
submissions made by Northumbria Police, and senior Newcastle United
staff have since met with senior officers from the force to better
understand the reasons behind the recommendation.
We know that the vast majority of fans from both clubs are
impeccably behaved and add a great deal to the occasion, and we also
acknowledge that this step has been taken as an additional measure
to ensure the safety of all supporters, staff, the authorities and
the wider public.
We will now work closely with Sunderland AFC, Northumbria
Police, Newcastle City Council and partner agencies to accommodate
this recommendation and to ensure the match is a safe experience for
everyone who attends.
This recommendation does not impact away supporter travel for
the return fixture at the Stadium of Light in May 2027, and any
relevant recommendations will be made by the local Safety Advisory
Group closer to that time.
From SAFC, Monday:
Following a decision by Newcastle’s Safety Advisory Group (SAG),
Sunderland AFC can confirm that supporters attending our PL away
fixture against Newcastle United will be required to travel by
organised coach.
Throughout this process, the Club has engaged with the
relevant authorities, setting out clearly our concerns about the
impact of a full bubble operation on Sunderland supporters,
particularly the restrictions on individual travel choices and the
additional inconvenience for supporters.
Whilst we do not agree with the decision that has been
reached, we recognise that this decision will disappoint many
supporters who would prefer to make their own travel arrangements.
While respecting the SAG’s decision, we have sought clarity on the
revised risk assessment and requested transparency as to how the end
decision has been made.
Sunderland AFC will receive an allocation of 2,200 tickets*.
* that's down from 2,528 last season, with the NUFC allocation
for the return game in 2025/26 matching that.
The Chronicle have since claimed that the allocation is actually
unchanged at 2,528 not 2,200 as SAFC wrote.

lads:
The borrowers
Sean Neave (Wolves):
The forward retained his place in the starting line-up for
Tuesday's Championship home meeting with Portsmouth.
He played the opening 45 minutes of a 1-1 draw.
Harrison Ashby (Luton Town):
No place for the loanee in the squad as the Hatters beat Barnsley
2-1 at Kenilworth Road in League One on Tuesday.
Rory Finneran (Notts County):
The other Magpies returned to winning ways in League One on
Tuesday, beating Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 at Meadow Lane.
Rory completed the game and laid on the second goal.
Anthony Munda (Swindon Town):
A 90 minute outing for the midfielder on Tuesday, as the Robins
posted a 3-1 success at Barnet in League Two.
Tyler Jones (Dunston UTS):
Another start for the goalkeeper as Dunston won 3-1 at Beverley Town
in the Northern Premier League on Tuesday.
Nick Woltemade (Juventus):
Following Thursday's Europa League start, the striker was back
on the bench for Sunday's Serie A home meeting with Lazio. Introduced
at half time with his side 0-1 down, Woltemade was unable to prevent
Juventus losing 0-3.
Antonio Cordero (Cadiz):
A low-key shift for the midfielder on Sunday, completing 56
minutes as Cadiz lost 0-2 at Granada in the Segunda Liga.
That result was enough to trigger yet another managerial change, Albert Celades
becoming the fourth boss to lose his job in 2026 at the club.
Leo Shahar (Arouca):
There was no place for the defender in the squad for Saunday's
Portuguese Cup visit to OS Belenenses.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Seville):
A tricky night for the 'keeper in Sunday's La Liga visit to Real
Madrid, conceding four times in a 1-4 reverse.
Ousmane Diabate (Genclerbirligi):
Keeping his place in central midfield, Ousmane was replaced during second
half added time as his side lost 0-1 at home to Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Lig
on Saturday.
Alex Murphy (Kaiserslautern):
Alex played all of a 2-0 home win over Bochum on the left hand side
of a back three in Bundesliga.2 on Saturday.

U18s:
Clarets uncorked
Newcastle U18s 3 Burnley U18s 0
It's now six wins from their opening seven league games for United's
youngsters, who convincingly beat Burnley at Little Benton on
Saturday lunchtime.
Newcastle went ahead midway through the opening period when Jayden
Kouossu's strong run from his own half set up Alfie Seldon to fire
home from inside the box.
A fine solo strike from Sam Alabi on the stroke of half time doubled
the lead before Alfie Hutchison outwitted visiting goalkeeper Callum
Feeney on 74 minutes and fired into an empty net.
Feeney tripped Hutchison five minutes later at the cost of a
penalty, but blocked the striker's spot kick.
With leaders Manchester City not in action on Saturday, Chris
Moore's Magpies ended the day level with them on points, but with an
inferior goal difference of three.
Team: Mair, Patterson (Healy-Matthews 62), Skelton, Boothe,
Moran, Gilligan (Old 62), Pinnington (Callaghan 46), Alabi (Ghanem
46), Hutchison, Kouossu (Robinson 70), Seldon. Subs n/u:
Holland, Benjamin
Old boys:
Big Dunc takes Oval office
Former Newcastle striker Duncan Ferguson is the new
manager of Irish Premiership club Glentoran on what is
described as a "multi-year contract."
Following two periods as interim boss of Everton, the 54 year-old
had unremarkable spells managing Forest Green Rovers and Inverness
Caledonian Thistle.
Ferguson is the second SJP old boy to take charge at the Oval, after
Tommy Cassidy (1994-97).
As one ex-Magpie takes up a post, there's news of another departing,
with Steve Watson's time in charge of National League North
club Darlington drawing to a close.
PS: another former Scottish international with Toon connections has
changed clubs, Ryan Fraser joining Australian A-League side
Macarthur.
The 32 year-old who played for rivals Western Sydney last season
made a scoring debut at the weekend, coming off the bench to net a
penalty in a 2-1 win over Perth Glory.
U21s:
Second string off to SJP
Newcastle U21s are set to make a welcome return to Gallowgate
this season, with this month's PL2 meeting with the mackems moved
from Whitley Park to SJP.
The date and kick-off time of that game remains as announced, on
Monday October 26th at 7pm.
Season ticket holders can gain access to the East Stand free of
charge, NUFC recommending that they pre-book seats online (change
price category to ST holder during the online purchase process to obtain one free ticket).
Advance tickets are also on sale now, priced at £5 adults and £2
seniors/juniors.
This will be the first time that the Magpies second string have
played a competitive game at SJP since a 7-1 victory over Reading in
PL2 back in April 2025.
PS: Tickets are on sale for the U21s EFL Trophy visit to
Rotherham United on Tuesday November 3rd at 7pm.
The away section is in Block ES6, available
here
Prices: £12 adults, £8 over 65s/18-21s, £3 14-17s, £1 U14s.
(All prices except the U14s increase by £2 on matchday)
2026/27 :

Blyth Spartans v Heaton Stannington
Newcastle University or Ashington* v Newcastle Benfield
North Shields v Morpeth Town
Whitley Bay v Blyth Town
Ties due to take place by Sun 29.11.2026.

PS: NUFC U21s declined to enter, but the final will continue to be staged at SJP.
Carabao Cup:
Everton (a)
Newcastle are in Carabao Cup Fourth Round action on Thursday
week, October 29th against the Toffees at Hill Dickinson Stadium -
their second-ever visit, following a 4-1 Premier League success
there last season.
It's a 7.45pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports+. If
the scores are level after 90 minutes the tie will settled on
penalties.
The Magpies will be backed by 7,732 supporters.
This will be only the second time that
these two sides have
met in the League Cup; the first seeing them share six goals at Gallowgate in
the Third
Round during 2002 before Everton advanced in the penalty shootout
that followed.
This pairing means that the Toffees and Magpies will face each other at
least four times this season: Everton winning a pre-season kickabout
3-1 at Murrayfield in August.
Following the Premier League home meeting in November, United return to merseyside
in the PL next February.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply for away tickets, 24 hours for success to be determined, then 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 are unchanged at £30 for the 2026/27
and 2027/28 seasons.

On This Day in History |

20th October |

Born Or Died:
1895 James Clark
born, Bensham.
(1921-24)
Inside left who began his career with
Annfield Plain and Jarrrow, joining United in December
1921 at a cost of £350.
Debuting in a 0-0 home
draw with Chelsea in January 1923, Jimmy failed to
become a regular starter and moved on Leeds United
during May 1924 for a fee of £300.
However he only lasted a season at Elland Road before
another transfer, this time to Swindon Town. Later
moves took him on to Greenock Morton, Ashington and
Dublin based side, Shelbourne.
A steelworker after his playing retirement, Clark was
living in Gateshead at the time of his death in
September 1947.
1961 Ian Rush born, St. Asaph, Wales.
(1997-98)
 There's
so much that can be written about one of the master
goalscorers of the modern era - unfortunately hardly any of it concerns Ian
Rush's time in a Newcastle shirt.
In a 16-year spell at Liverpool (interrupted by a year
in Italy with Juventus), the Welsh international
striker made 660 appearances and scored a stupendous
346 goals.
Since his appearance at SJP in an FA Cup tie for
Chester City way back in January 1980 (scoring once in
a 2-0 away win), Rush had plagued us, netting nine times against us between 1984 and
1995 for Liverpool.
By January 1997 though, he was part of a Leeds
United side walloped 3-0 on Tyneside, seemingly going
through the motions and looking old, slow and
finished.
Fast forward eight months and the 36 year old was a
Newcastle player, another one of Kenny Dalglish's
"Dads Army" free transfers, along with John
Barnes and Stuart Pearce.
With Alan Shearer injured and Les Ferdinand sold,
Rush was pressed into service for a home debut against
Aston Villa - turning out for Newcastle's reserves
just over a week later and netting twice against
Doncaster.
Rush continued to appear for the first team to little
good effect, watching our famous 3-2 win over
Barcelona as an unused sub.
His first senior goal for the club came in a 2-0
League Cup home win over Hull City, while his
appearance from the bench in the FA Cup
at Everton was also worthy of note.
In what seemed almost to be a pre-destined act, the
striker who tormented the Toffees at Goodison as a Red took just 15 minutes to force the ball over the
line for the only goal.
Just two more games followed before Rush's first team
career at United ended, with a brief loan period at
Sheffield United seeing him idle through a quartet of
Championship matches without scoring.
Joining Wrexham the following season, Rush failed to
score in 18 outings for them, later ending his playing
career with Australian side Sydney Olympic.
Rush was named Chester City manager in August 2004 but had departed by the end
of that season and failed with an application to
become the new boss of Peterborough.
An ongoing Anfield association saw Rush involved with
Liverpool both in coaching and ambassadorial roles,
while he also served as a director of
Welsh non-leaguers TNS.
Linked with the Wales
national manager vacancy following the departure of John Toshack in 2010, Ian's
former Newcastle colleague, Gary Speed was appointed.
That left Rush to continue as a TV
pundit and PR man for Liverpool, with an involvement in their soccer schools and overseas promotional
ventures.
1993 Louis Storey born,
Newcastle.
(2010-12)
 Central
defender who also played as a striker and goalkeeper
during his time at Wallsend Boys Club, concentrating on defence when joining the
Newcastle Academy early in 2010.
Debuting for the U18s in a 2-1 home win over Derby
County that October, Storey's reserve bow came during a 1-1 draw with Bolton Wanderers in
December 2011.
Appearing for the reserves in a 3-3 draw against the
mackems at SJP later that season, Storey's sole second
string start came in a 0-5 away defeat by Fulham.
Released by United
in summer 2012, he later served Ashington, Team Northumbria, South Shields and Hebburn
Town.
Joining Gateshead in 2021, Louis combined playing with coaching - assisting
interim boss Rob Elliot in 2023 following the departure of manager Mike
Williamson.
Becoming Elliot's second-in-command on a permanent
basis during June 2024, Storey then followed his boss
to League One Crawley Town some four months
later.
Elliot's departure in March 2025 saw Storey briefly
installed as interim head coach before joining Dorking Wanderers as a player.
He then followed Rob Elliot to Carlisle United as a
coach in June 2026.
1998 Craig Spooner born,
Ashington.
(2015-18)
Midfielder who joined United's
Academy on a scholarship during 2015, along with fellow
Cramlington Juniors colleagues Nathan Harker and Dan
Lowther.
Craig's first taste of U18 football came as a
substitute in a 1-5 loss at Everton during February 2015 and
just over a year later he was blooded at U21 level - during
a 1-4 defeat by West Ham at SJP.
Despite earning a contract extension in 2017, he failed to become a reserve regular and was released in June 2018.
Later with North Shields, Blyth Spartans,
Whitley Bay and West Auckland Town, "Spoons" returned to North Shields before joining
hometown club Ashington in 2021.
1999 Rosaire Longelo born,
Kinshasa, DR Congo. (2018-22)
Released
by West Ham towards the end of the 2017/18 season,
salvation came for winger Rosaire when appearing on
trial against Newcastle U23s for Boro
(Norwich City also ran the rule over him).
Catching the eye of Magpies coach Ben Dawson, Longelo
was invited to train on Tyneside, impressing in pre-season at Barrow in July
2018.
A permanent contract was agreed and the player made a
competitive debut in the PL2 opener at West Bromwich Albion.
A memorable first Newcastle goal then arrived in January
2019, Rosaire coming off the bench to net
an added time winner in the wear-Tyne U23 derby.
He remained a regular irregular however, injuries
restricting his second string starts.
Longelo made a permanent exit from SJP in January 2022,
joining League One side Accrington Stanley for an
undisclosed fee.
Later moves took him on to Swindon Town, Salford City
and Notts County.
2009 Alfie Seldon born,
sunderland.
(2025-present)
Left winger who broke into
Newcastle's U18 side early in the 2025/26 season,
netting his first goal at that level in a 4-3 victory at
Liverpool when aged just 15.
Promoted to the U21 side the following season, Alfie
scored his debut goal against Solihull Moors in the
National League Cup days before his 17th birthday.
Formal confirmation of his first professional deal then
followed in October 2026.

Of course, Fergie's side still won the title....

2005 United confirmed that first team training sessions
would relocate from Darsley Park to the adjacent Little
Benton home of the club's Academy.
This followed further injury concerns for first team players on training
pitches at Darsley Park - which were to be urgently modified.
Graeme Souness said:
"To say I am suicidal
about the current state of affairs is not far off the mark. It is very difficult
to take because it is happening all the time. There never seems
to be any let up."
2006 In
farcical
conditions at Little Benton, Kevin Ball's mackem U18s recorded a deserved 2-0 Tyne-wear
derby victory to maintain their position as league leaders.
Heavy pre-match rain saw the game played on a sodden pitch, a further downpour
in the first half making it even
more of a lottery.

United came close to a famous result in the face of
some rough justice, after once again falling victim to
bungling whistler, Rob Styles.
When the rotten ref awarded a 12th minute penalty and sent off Habib Beye it felt like our world was set to implode once
more.
The display that followed however was gutsy and heart-warming on a cold and
wet night at SJP, with only a late leveller from future Magpie flop Stephen
Ireland seeing reality intervene.

Exactly 13 years after trouncing Manchester United 5-0 at St. James'
Park, Newcastle limped to an awful defeat in front of 9,000 in a field in
Lincolnshire with three borrowed bodies.
The final whistle at Glanford Park saw Toon fans fighting amongst themselves
as Chris Hughton's manager of the month crown well and truly fell off and our winless October streak continued.
Thankfully normal service was soon restored and with
Geremi banished never to be seen again, the team returned
to top spot the following weekend and would remain there
until the season's end.

before entering the net.

2021 Steve Bruce was relieved of his duties by Newcastle United, with the other Steves - Agnew and Clemence
- also exiting. Graeme Jones became interim boss as the search for a

United sat one place off the foot of the table and were winless, with just three
points from their first eight games.

Stockport County confirmed that they had released
goalkeeping coach Shwan Jalal following an approach from

That club was Newcastle United, the 39
year-old Iraqi reuniting with former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe at SJP.
