Newcastle
have confirmed a second pre-season kickabout, travelling to the Scottish
Champions Celtic
on Saturday
July 19th.
That's a 3pm
kick-off
and the Magpies have been given 7,200 places, which are now on sale to
2025/26 season
ticket holders with 35
points
or more.
As was the case for March's Wembley visit, away travel groups won't be in
use and seats are individually selected from a seating plan. That was
visible on a smartphone but some desktop users report that they struggled to
see it.
It's also worth repeating that more than one section is on sale, but in
order to see the others, you need to click on the arrow to the right of the
screen.
NB: some seats in areas 118 and 119 in the usual away corner have restricted
views due to a pillar. These look to be included in the 1,200 that NUFC will
be selling for a slightly cheaper price after the full price ones sell out.
NUFC state that this game will be
excluded
from
the usual away ticket transfer scheme.
Prices:
£25 adults, over 65s £17, 13-16s £17, U13s £12.
(There's no relevant scheduled rail work that weekend).
This will be United's first game in the East end of Glasgow since a 1-2 loss
in August 2004. That was the third visit of the Premier League era,
following a 0-2 reverse in July 1999 and a 1-1 draw on a red-hot day in
August 1995.
The most recent meeting of the two sides took place at SJP during August
2007, ending in a 4-1 win for the Magpies.
For Eddie Howe it's a belated opportunity to lead a side out at Parkhead,
having rejected the chance to become Celtic boss during 2021 - supposedly
after failing to reach an agreement on the appointment of his backroom
staff.

Evolving from a fortnightly show in 2007 to
the current daily offering, the Football Ramble Podcast is

We had pairs of tickets to the Newcastle show
to give away and asked the following question:

The answer was Alan Pardew and the

The remarkable
story
of a Wembley winner
The latest book
from author Spencer Vignes is a biography of Chilean
international Jorge ("George") Robledo, who arrived at
St.James' Park from Barnsley along with his brother Eduardo
("Ted") during 1949.
Interviewing family members and their contemporaries, Spencer tells
their largely unknown story, culminating in George's FA Cup Final
winning goal for United in 1952.

Geordie Run:
On the road again
NUFC.com reader Mark Allison aka Run Geordie Run
continues his coast to coast trek across the USA, encountering cooler
conditions on day 5 in Pennsylvania.
A 3,200 mile route to Huntington Beach in just 100 days takes him through conditions ranging from the chills in the Rockies to the searing heat of
Death Valley.
Mark's motivation is to raise funds for St.Benedicts Hospice - a cause that has
great personal significance. If you're able to contribute, then this can be
done online here
Thanks to everyone who has donated thus far, the £15K mark has been
surpassed - that's £25% of the target amount for this run.

CFC: To follow
Ahead of their visit to Tyneside, Chelsea take a 4-1 first leg lead to Swedes Djurgaardens in the

sequence on the road in that competition stretching to eight games (five
losses, three draws).

On This Day in History |
|
6th May |
|
Born Or Died:
1953 Graeme Souness born, Edinburgh, Scotland. (Mgr 2004-06)
Not missed....
Having served Spurs, the smoggies,
Liverpool, Sampdoria and Rangers as a player, Souness then managed at Ibrox and
Anfield before joining Galatasaray.
A return to these shores came in 1996 with Southampton, although he just
managed just one season at the Saints before moving overseas again, with Torino
and Benfica.
March 2000 saw him take over at Blackburn Rovers, steering them back to the
Premier League and winning the League Cup.
Newcastle turned to him to fill the void left by Bobby Robson's enforced
departure in September 2004, Souness watching his former side lose 3-0 to his
future one from an Executive Box at SJP before taking over.
His first season saw Newcastle progress to the semi-finals of the FA Cup and
Quarter Finals of the UEFA, but defeats in both to Manchester United and
Sporting Lisbon within four days were major setbacks.
Craig Bellamy returned from his Celtic loan and was sold on to Blackburn before
the start of the next season - having fallen out with Souness over his place in
the side and other disciplinary-related transgressions.
His influence was brought to bear on other transfers, with Patrick Kluivert,
Aaron Hughes, Andy O'Brien, Laurent Robert and Jermaine Jenas also departing.
Loan deals also saw James Milner and Nicky Butt depart as Emre, Craig Moore,
Albert Luque, Michael Owen and Nobby Solano were added to January buys Amdy
Faye, Celestine Babayaro and Jean-Alain Boumsong (the latter deemed not good
enough for Newcastle by Bobby Robson months earlier).
By February 2006 though, Souness was gone - defeat at Manchester City leaving
United fifteenth with fan unrest increasing since a particularly gutless
League Cup defeat against a second-choice Wigan Athletic side.
While the fitness of Owen and Luque made his job more difficult, Souness was
ultimately betrayed by many of those who he'd brought in to the SJP dressing
room.
He became a familiar feature on our TV screens as a Sky
Sports pundit, where he remained consistently charmless when discussing the
Magpies.
Souness did show a more caring side in 2023, completing a relay swim of
the English Channel and raising over £1m for Debra UK - a charity
supporting those affected by epidermolysis bullosa (EB).
2013
Death of Steve Carney, aged 55.
Pancreatic cancer tragically claimed the defender who made his name in the
famous Blyth Spartans FA Cup side of 1978 before moving to Gallowgate.

What Else?
1922 Manchester City (a)

Division One

Browell(70)

A season-ending loss at Hyde Road for Newcastle
following four successive wins - including a 5-1 home victory over the
Citizens less than a week earlier.
City were victorious despite playing with ten men for over an hour after Max
Woosnam was injured.
1922 At St. James' Park meanwhile, the Reserves beat
West Stanley 3-0 in their final North Eastern League game of the season.
Despite victory however, they missed out on the title by a single point to
Carlisle.
Clark, Swan (penalty) and Hampson were all on target.

missed Ando's effort as it coincided with Mirandinha
appearing in the Milburn
stand, amid loud cheers.
The Brazilian was in plaster with an Achilles injury and was missing his third
successive game - although his relationship with manager Jim Smith had
deteriorated considerably as relegation became a reality.

With everything
to play for after a scoreless first leg on Tyneside, Didier Drogba
broke Newcastle hearts with a goal in each half at a
packed Stade Velodrome.
A non-challenge from Hugo Viana allowed the home side to
counter attack, Matthieu Flamini
supplying Drogba to shoot past Shay Given after shrugging off Aaron
Hughes.
United attempted to get back into the tie and had their moments after the break,
with Lee Bowyer carelessly shooting wide and penalty claims when Shola Ameobi
was impeed.
Slack marking from a free kick near the end settled it though, with Given then
blocking another effort as Drogba went for a treble.
Future Magpie Habib Beye
appeared for l'OM and also started in the final, but
finished on the losing side as Valencia triumphed 2-0 in the Swedish city of
Gothenburg.

"HMRC has today given formal confirmation that it is
discontinuing the four-year long criminal investigation into the tax
treatment of agents/players payments involving Newcastle United Football
Club.”
Mike Ashley issued this statement:
"After four years of the club
being subjected to this investigation, I am pleased that the criminal
investigation has now been discontinued.
"It is now time for the dark forces
that are preventing this football club from becoming the powerhouse that the
fans deserve, to step aside.”
