Update
:
Botman blow

From NUFC, Monday:

Newcastle United defender Sven Botman has undergone successful surgery on a facial fracture.

Following concussion protocol, the Dutchman was substituted after suffering the injury during the second half of Sunday's game against Sunderland at St. James' Park.

Sven is not expected to be sidelined for an extended period and hopes to be available again during the closing weeks of the season.

SJP racism: clubs react

Referee Anthony Taylor stopped Sunday's derby for three minutes as per the PL on-field anti-discrimination protocol, which was initiated after reports of racist abuse from the crowd directed at visiting player Lutsharel Geertruida.

The incident happened early in the second half as United's Sven Botman was undergoing treatment for injury on the field and appeared to originate in the East Stand.

NUFC statement, Sunday:

"We are aware of a report of racism made by a visiting player against someone in the crowd during our Premier League match against Sunderland.

"Our stance is clear - we do not tolerate discrimination of any form.

"We will work with the authorities to fully investigate and will ensure any individuals are identified and held accountable."

SAFC statement, Sunday:

"We stand with Lutsharel, who has our complete backing, and we commend him for displaying bravery and leadership by reporting this incident to the match officials.

"Racism is completely unacceptable. It is abhorrent, and has no place in our game or in society.

"We acknowledge Newcastle United's statement and expect those responsible to be identified and held accountable.

"There can be no tolerance, no excuses, and no ambiguity when it comes to incidents of this nature.

"Football must be a safe and inclusive environment for everyone - without exception - and we will continue to work with the relevant authorities to support that aim."

U18s:
Teens toppled at Toffees

Everton U18s 4  Newcastle U18s  2

A youthful Magpies side were beaten for the first time in three league games on Saturday, conceding three goals in just nine first half minutes at Everton's Finch Farm base.

Having kept successive clean sheets, United goalkeeper Roman Dowell had to retrieve the ball from his net after 12 minutes when Jake Doughty shot home.

Jonathan Nsangou set up Charlie Stewart to fire a second for the Toffees five minutes later, before the roles were reversed on 20 minutes when Nsangou collected Stewart's pass before adding a third home goal.

Doughty's second arrived two minutes before the end of first half normal time, opening up a 0-4 deficit at the interval.

Newcastle's Sammy Pinnington then netted seven minutes after the restart before Ethan Ndiweni further reduced the arrears in the 63rd minute.

Newcastle ended the game with a trio of debutants in the shape of youngsters Charlie Robinson, Chukwudi Afumuzor and Muawiya Ghanem.

Team: Dowell, Patterson, Morgan, Epia, Gilligan, Wooster (Afumuzor 90+12), Ndiweni, Pinnington, Hutchison (Robinson 83), Ferreira (Callaghan 62), Seldon (Ghanem 62).
Sub n/u: Anderson.

Booked: Gilligan

Premier League:
Sunday date for Eagles



The Premier League confirm that Newcastle's visit to Selhurst Park has been rescheduled from the previously advertised Saturday April 11th to Sunday April 12th.

The game now has a 2pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports.


That's due to Crystal Palace's progress to the last eight of the UEFA Conference League, with the first leg at home to Fiorentina on Thursday April 9th.

That's the first of four possible alterations to United games due to opposition cup commitments, in addition to any rescheduling for live TV:

Sun 22.03.2026 mackems (h) noon confirmed

Sun 12.04.2026 Crystal Palace (a) 2pm confirmed

Sat 18.04.2026 Bournemouth (h) 3pm confirmed

Sat 25.04.2026 Arsenal (a) 5.30pm
Would move to avoid a clash with the FA Cup SF on Sat 25.04.2026 or Sun 26.04.2026, if Arsenal defeated Southampton in their QF on Sat 04.04.2026.

For a new date, Arsenal face Sporting Lisbon in Champions League QFs on Tue 07.04.2026 and Wed 15.04.2026. Were they to progress to the CL SFs, that would then rule out weeks commencing Mon 27.04.2026 and Mon 04.05.2026.

The most likely scenario is that our Emirates visit would be during the week commencing Mon 20.04.2026 - the PL looking to play outstanding PL games that week, as per last season, when Palace's postponed game with Arsenal was played days before the Eagles were in FA Cup SF action.

Sat 02.05.2026 tbc Brighton (h) KO tbc
TV schedule for this weekend is due on 25.03.2026.

Sat 09.05.2026 tbc Nottingham Forest (a) KO tbc
Would move to avoid a clash with the Europa League SF if Forest won their QF against Porto on Thu 09.04.2026 & Thu 16.04.2026.

They would then play a SF second leg on Thu 07.05.2026, meaning we'd visit the City Ground on Sun 10.05.2026 tbc.

TV schedule for this weekend due Wed 01.04.2026. 

Sun 17.05.2026 tbc West Ham (h) 3pm tbc
Would move to avoid a clash with the FA Cup F on Sat 16.05.2026 if West Ham defeated Leeds United in their QF on Sun 05.04.2026 and progressed through a SF on or around Sat 25.04.2026.

For a new date, any midweek is theoretically possible, apart from week commencing 11.05.2026 as it preceded the F.

TV schedule for this weekend due Wed 08.04.2026 - only kick-off times can alter, all games are on Sun 17.05.2026.

Sun 24.05.2026 Fulham (a) 4pm confirmed
(all games kick off at the same time on final day).

Unlikely lads:
Miller time for Lee

Former Magpie midfielder Lee Clark has taken charge at League One Rotherham United until the end of the season, as they attempt to avoid relegation.

The 53 year-old had a tough introduction on Saturday, with the Millers beaten 0-3 at league leaders Lincoln City.

Fellow SJP old boy Andy Carroll meanwhile has agreed a first managerial role, interim boss of Dagenham & Redbridge.

The 37 year-old signed for the National League South club as a player and has since become a shareholder. He's currently sidelined due to injury.

Carroll enjoyed a winning debut on Saturday, as the Daggers beat Torquay United 1-0 at home.

NUFC have released 2026/27 season home season ticket information online here

Premier League:
£30's still plenty

Thursday saw the Premier League Shareholders meeting staged, with confirmation forthcoming that a further extension on the £30 away ticket cap was agreed.

Introduced in 2015/16, the latest agreement to retain the fixed price covers both 2026/27 and 2027/28
- welcome news, but only partly offsetting the increased costs of getting to away games cynically rescheduled for live TV.

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 offered to applicants with a reduced loyalty points total. Only those within the new loyalty point total are then eligible to buy - even if you had more, your purchase window has already closed.  

Friends and family groups remain, travel groups and away season tickets are gone.

2025/26 PL away tickets remain at £30.

On This Day in History
25th March


Born Or Died:

1890 Bob Hewison born, Backworth.
(1908-14, 1919-20)

Appearing for local sides East Holywell Villa and Whitley Athletic, left half Bob moved to SJP in 1910.

That was to be the first of two separate periods at Newcastle, separated by a five year sojourn with Leeds City during WW1-  where he oversaw their final days in the role of secretary after breaking his leg. 

Appointed player-manager of Northampton Town in 1920, Bob hung up his boots five years later and took charge of Queens Park Rangers until 1932.

Recruited as Bristol City boss, he served them until 1949, later having stints at the helm of both Guildford and Bath City.

Ahead of their debut in Division Two the following season, United claimed the scalp of top-flight Forest, who fielded a clutch of current internationals.

Team: McCabe, Jeffery, Miller, Creilly, Graham, McKane, Reay, Crate, Sorley, Wallace, Collins.

1893 United's "A" team drew 2-2 with the mackems in a friendly at their Newcastle Road ground in Monkwearmouth.

Batey and Dixon netted the visitors -  the hosts side aggrieved at the decision of referee J.Conqueror to disallow a late effort for offside.

Newcastle played in red shirts, "giving them the appearance of flamingos" in the eyes of The Journal's reporter.

Team: G.Ryder, Rodger, Crichton, Fitzgerald, Wylde, J.Ryder, Stokoe, Gardiner, Batey, Dixon, Quinn.

24 hours before their FA Cup Semi-Final tie against Swindon Town, a much-changed Magpies side were in league action. 

Albert Shepherd was reportedly barracked by home followers when he left the pitch before full time. Jock Finlay's late goal then saved a point.

A fifth successive semi-final appearance for Newcastle saw them win convincingly at the St. Andrews home of Birmingham.

Driving snow gave way to bright sunshine by kick-off and United pressed forward from the first whistle, George Wilson on target after Albert Shepherd and Sandy Higgins had been denied.

Shepherd then doubled the lead with a fine strike and when his shot struck the post in the second half, Jimmy Stewart was on hand to fire home the rebound.

The battles between Magpies defender Frank Brennan and Trotters attacker Nat Lofthouse would form the bedrock of this hard-fought home victory.

Newcastle's visit to Goodison Park was on a Friday evening to avoid clashing with the Grand National at nearby Aintree the following afternoon.

It proved to be something of a smash and grab raid, with the visitors twice scoring excellent goals from rare attacks, while the hosts dominated proceedings but wasted countless chances. 

1961 Chelsea (h)

P35, 26pts, 20th/22
Neale(86) 
Tindall(54,61), Greaves(57,68,75,80) 
28,975
A Saturday 6.30pm slot for this game was found in order to avoid clashing with the Grand National, which was live on TV.

Having marked his debut with a penalty save at Spurs in midweek, a SJP bow for goalkeeper Dave Hollins proved to be memorable for rather different reasons.

A knee injury to United's Dick Keith forced him off at the start of the second half and although he later returned, he played no active part in the game.

Jimmy Greaves was tormentor-in-chief, scoring four and having one chalked off.

Magpies boss Charlie Mitten commented post-match that: "If Jimmy Greaves had been on our side we would have won by as big a score. He's the most devastating finisher in the game - a wonderful player."

Peter Noble was on target for United in this Easter Saturday fixture, having netted twice in a 3-1 home win over Stoke City just 24 hours earlier.

However some poor defending and sloppy finishing saw the Magpies pass up the chance to register a first victory at Stamford Bridge since 1954.

1972 Manchester City (h) 0-0 (0-0)
