Our annual visit to the 'boro
is once again not deemed suitable for live TV transmission and therefore
goes ahead with an old-fashioned 3pm kick-off this coming Saturday.
Newcastle will have the backing of around 3,600 fans and the following
police advice has been issued for them:
Newcastle supporters found in home seating areas will be ejected from the
stadium for their own safety and not re-housed in the away section.
There are no parking facilities for away fans at the ground, therefore fans
travelling by private transport should park in the town centre and walk.
The Back Page tell us they have additional seats available on their
coaches on a first come, first served basis from 9am either in person at the
shop or by phone on 0191 2615005.
Alcohol will be on sale both pre-match and during the half time interval
from catering outlets in the away end.
There are no plans to hold back Newcastle fans after the final whistle, but
any fans
who wish to remain of their own free will, whilst the home supporters
disperse, can do so.

Kevin Nolan, although he otherwise fairly erratic throughout.

Hughton
response
to pay cut claims
Asked about newspaper
stories that Newcastle players would be offered extended contracts that
lowered their weekly wage, Chris Hughton told reporters:
"That financial story is
not particularly helpful. I was made aware of it this morning and as far as
I know there is nothing in it. It just seems to have been plucked out of
thin air. As far as I know there is absolutely no truth in it.
"The only thing we are interested in
is football. Contracts and things like that can wait until the end of the
season. It’s nothing I’m aware of. We’ve got used to a lot of
speculation, especially financial speculation around the club.
“We have 12 games left, and we can’t
afford to let anything distract us from our objective, and the sole objective
is to win enough points to get promotion.”
Moving on talk about
Saturdays' opponents, he said:
"They will still think they are in with
a shout of the play-offs. With 12 games left they have a very good chance to
get there. Every game is tough in this league but the fact that it’s a derby
game and they are fighting for promotion makes it harder.
"(Our) morale is
understandably high, when you win there’s a different atmosphere and that’s
what football does. It’s been a good place to be this week.This is an
important period - we know there are some tough games coming up but it’s
still about us.
"The manager (Strachan) has brought in his own players in. He’s
got some of his players from Celtic and they aren’t playing badly. Cardiff
away for them was unlucky.
U18s:

Newcastle's high-flying U18

United
in Villa return
After 120 minutes failed to separate them at
Craven Cottage on Tuesday night, Aston Villa's U18s beat their Fulham
counterparts on penalties to set up a two-legged FA Youth Cup Semi-Final
against Newcastle United.
1-1 after 90 minutes, extra time then saw the home side go ahead in the 114th
minute, only for
Villa to level at 2-2 in added time.
Semis are played on a two-legged basis,
with Newcastle at home in the second leg. Dates are to be confirmed and
matches are usually played at the main home ground of each side - meaning a
first return to Villa Park for the Magpies at any level since the final day of
last season.
Semi-Final Draw (over two legs):
date tbc Aston Villa v Newcastle
Wed 17.03.2010 Blackburn v Chelsea
date tbc Newcastle v Aston Villa
Mon 22.03.2010 Chelsea v Blackburn
This will be Newcastle's seventh appearance in an FA Youth Cup
semi-final since they first entered the competition in the 1952/53 season.
1961/62 beat Portsmouth 4-3
1975/76 lost to Wolves 2-4
1984/85 beat Birmingham City 7-2
1988/89 lost to Manchester City 1-3
1998/99 lost to Coventry City 2-5
2005/06 lost to Manchester City 3-4
2006/07 lost to Liverpool 3-7
Semi-final success in 1962 lead to our first lifting of the trophy after
a 2-1 aggregate victory over Wolves. Our second final win was then
achieved in 1985, thanks to a 4-1 triumph over Watford (all the
goals coming in the second leg down at Vicarage Road).
We've never faced Villa in this competition before.

Town
in Saturday SJP season closer claim
From the Ipswich Town website,
Monday:
"Town's match at Newcastle looks set to remain on Saturday, April 24.
Sky TV have allocated one game from that weekend schedule to be played on Monday, April 26 but that will not be Blues' trip to St James' Park.
"We have received a number of enquiries from fans about the possibility of the game at Newcastle being switched to the Monday but we understand from Sky that we are definitely playing on the Saturday," says a Club spokesperson.
All well and good, but that still leaves the possibility of Sky taking
coverage of the game on the Saturday and amending the kick-off time from 3pm -
not to mention the BBC picking this fixture, which would throw up the
possibility of a Sunday rescheduling after all....
Reserves:
Stiffs:
two rescheduled
Newcastle's forthcoming home
reserve game against Scunthorpe United has been moved back 24 hours
to avoid clashing with our Championship trip to Reading.
The Iron second string will now be at Whitley Park for a 7pm kick-off on
Wednesday 14th April.
And a similar move to compensate for the rescheduling of our first team trip
to Plymouth sees the reserve visit of Huddersfield put back 24 hours.
Lee Clark's Terriers reserve side now visit Whitley Park on Tuesday 20th
April, KO again unchanged @ 7pm.
PS: confirmation is still awaited of when the recently- postponed home
reserve fixture against Grimsby Town will be staged.
Championship:
Benton
boost for
Barton and Best
A behind-closed-doors kickabout at the training ground on Monday saw a Newcastle shadow
side win 4-1 against a Hibernian XI.
The home goals came from Leon Best, Nile Ranger, Joan Edmundsson and
an OG, while Colin Nish registered the visitor's sole reply.
Best scored his first goal for United, while Ranger netted on what was his
first start since January. Joey Barton meanwhile appeared for the first 45 minutes of the game, as part of his ongoing
comeback.
For anyone puzzled by the name Edmundsson, he's an 18 year-old Faroe Islands
international forward who has signed for the rest of the season from the B68
club.
NUFC: Krul, R.Taylor (Leadbitter 67), Lough, Hall (Tozer 80), Morris,
McCrudden (Godsmark 67), Barton (McLaughlin 46), Donaldson, Edmundsson (Ferguson 75), Best
(Danquah 67), Ranger.
Local
gongs handed out:
Streete
naming ceremony!
Monday evening saw the annual
Sport Newcastle awards staged at the Civic Centre, with Alan Shearer among
those handing out trophies.
Injured Magpies defender Steven Taylor walked away with the
Newcastle Sports Personality of the Year title, while midfielder Brad Inman
picked up the Wor Jackie Award for the brightest prospect from the Academy.
A new award was also presented for the first time, commemorating the renowned
local football talent scout Jack Hixon, who passed away last year.
That went to central defender Remi Streete (pictured below with Andy
Carroll), who has captained the club's younger Academy sides and was called up
to the U18s bench late in 2009 - just a month after turning 15.
Born in Aylesbury, Remi now lives with his family in South Shields and is
following in the footsteps of his father Floyd (pictured below) who made over 350
appearances in the Football League for Cambridge United, Derby County, Wolves and Reading:

Crook
Town announcement:
Talk-in
postponed
Northern
League side Crook Town tell us that due to unavoidable circumstances,
the Sportsman's Evening due to be held at Millfield this month has been postponed.
The Evening was due to feature former Crook Town player Frank Clark and
it's hoped that the Fairs Cup winner will attend the rescheduled date later on
this year.
Loan
extension looms:
Lua
lingering on
in League One
Subject to completion of the
necessary paperwork, Brighton and Hove Albion are to gain the services
of Newcastle reserve midfielder Kazenga LuaLua for the rest of the
current season.
The 19 year-old has made five starts for the Seagulls since moving to the
Withdean on loan in February and finished on the losing side just once. He's
yet to score.

Old
boy gets
the Bulls' rush
Division Two Hereford
United have dispensed with the services of ex-Newcastle midfielder John
Trewick, who had been in charge at Edgar Street since April 2009.
Trewick joined The Bulls as a coach in 2004 and after a poor start to
this season had tendered his resignation - only for it to be turned down by
the club's board.

Update:
the rescheduling
of our game at Plymouth means that Flybe are unable to run the charter flight
that operated for the FA Cup tie at Home Park in January.
However, the airline do have availability on scheduled flights from
Newcastle down to Exeter and back. Click here
for times, prices and bookings.
After a season in which TV rescheduling of
fixtures has meant inconvenience for Newcastle fans, Sky have taken that
disruption to a new level with their decision to show our trip to Plymouth
live, on Monday April 19th.
We understand that strong protests were made by Newcastle to both the Football
League and Sky over the rescheduling of this game, but fell on deaf ears.
Even an amended kick-off time for live TV on the original date of Saturday 17th
would have been tolerable and still allowed supporters to travel over the
weekend.
It would certainly be preferable to this, which shows a callous disregard for
the lives - and finances - of fans, now looking at two days off work. Quite
simply, they couldn't make it more difficult if they tried.
This rescheduling takes the number of league games involving us on live TV
this season up to 18 (15 by Sky), with no guarantee that more won't be
chosen:

Season tickets:
March price freeze
The club have now
confirmed a limited duration season ticket renewal offer for current season
ticket holders, who can get 2010/11 for the 2009/10 price, providing
they complete their renewal before Wed 31.03.2010.
From Thu 01.04.2010, renewals and new sales will be made at 2008/09
standard prices (which may not be what you actually paid, depending on
circumstance).
Renewals can be made until Fri 30.04.2010. After this time, existing
seats are not guaranteed. A date from which new season ticket applications can
be made is tbc.
The only exception to that is in the Level Seven Family Section, where all
junior seating will be sold at £100.
Regardless of whether promotion is gained or not, the SJP seating arrangements
will remain unchanged and away fans will be housed in the same area.
The only alteration sees an additional family seating area created in Leazes
End Level 6, where a family lounge facility is being created (£450 adults,
£150 juniors).
There's another push towards web renewals online
here with the incentive of a free 2010/11 season ticket giveaway to one
supporter using this method to renew.
Renewals for existing season ticket holders can be made online, by post, by phone or in person at the
Box
Office.
Season ticket holders currently on the three year advance purchase scheme will
also be contacted by post this month regarding their own arrangements.

of their visit to SJP, The Iron travel to Ipswich Town on Saturday.
Scunny have recorded three wins, three draws and eleven defeats in the league
on the road. Their away goals conceded total of 38 is the highest in the
division.
A maximum return came from visits to Crystal Palace, Derby County and QPR,
while points were gathered at Bristol City, Barnsley and Reading.
Manager Nigel Adkins appeared for both Tranmere Rovers and Wigan Athletic
during his time as a goalkeeper but never encountered Newcastle during that
time (Tranny did infamously beat us at Wembley in the 1988 Football League
Centenary Tournament but he wasn't in goal).

Coxy's Cockup Corner |
|
Whoops, He did it Again... |
The Mail manage the perhaps unique
feat of a quadruple Coxy in one piece, although it is just the same piece of
duff gen repeating in four different ways:
Newcastle 6 Barnsley 1: Spiderman Gutierrez puts icing on cake with first
home goal in St James' Park drubbing.
Jonas Gutierrez is a brave man. He has kept that Spiderman mask hidden away in
his jockstrap for nearly two years.
Although he has washed it a few times, he
still knew it would not be in the best condition when he finally got the
chance to wear it and celebrate a long-awaited Newcastle home goal.
Every time he has taken to the St
James’ Park pitch since joining from Real Mallorca, Gutierrez has been
convinced he would get the opportunity to slip on his mask and show Newcastle
supporters the unusual celebration he perfected in La Liga.
Inevitably, when he broke his duck,
it was a top corner, edge-of-the- area cracker. St James’ Park waited with
bated breath for Gutierrez to reach into his shorts and reveal the mask.
St.James' Park, Saturday November 7th 2009 @ 3.15pm. Jonas Gutierrez
scores at the Gallowgate End against Peterborough. His mask must have been
at the cleaners that day, but he scored. Honest. There were over 43,000
witnesses....
What's this all about then? Click here for a rambling explanation of sorts....

Born Or Died:
1890 Harold
Woods born, St.Helens, Lancashire. (1922-23)
Centre forward who joined Norwich City from his hometown club and served in
the Royal Tank Corps during World War I.
Signing for South Shields, Newcastle paid £2,600 for Harry in January 1922 -
just weeks after scoring against the Magpies in an Ingham Cup tie staged at SJP.
Debuting in a 2-1 defeat at Arsenal, Harry ended that season having played
eight games and scored once - repeating those figures in the following
campaign.
A £575 transfer was agreed with Arsenal in June 1923 and
Harry's Gunners debut came against United in the season-opener, with Newcastle winning 4-1 at Highbury.
Harry's time at Arsenal ended in 1926, by which time he'd scored 22 goals in 75
appearances. Moving on to Luton Town, he later returned to the North East and
played for North Shields.
1977
Amdy
Faye born, Dakar, Senegal.
(2005-06)
A typical Souness signing
- simply not good enough. Whoever scouted
Amdy failed to realise what most of
us did very early on - he couldn't pass a
ball more than five yards.
After appearing for Monaco, ES Frejus and Auxerre, Faye moved to Portsmouth in
2003 - Harry Redknapp playing him as a trialist in a pre-season game at
Kilmarnock under the name of "Andy Henry” to divert attention away from
a player who was being tracked by a number of Premier League clubs.
Faye arrived
at Newcastle from Fratton Park in January 2005 for £2m and
made his debut in an FA Cup Fourth Round
victory over Coventry City at SJP.
A reluctance to venture outside the centre
circle explains Faye's failure to score
during his time in Toon - and possibly his most notable achievement
at SJP was the addition
of an "a" to his first name, via a request in
the matchday programme.
Unfortunately that did
absolutely nothing for his on-pitch
performances....
Somehow we managed to recoup our £2m fee when Glenn Roeder managed to moved
Faye on to Charlton Athletic in August 2006.
After just a year at the Valley though - having broken his goalscoring duck
away at Pompey - Charlton were relegated and Faye was exiled on loan to Glasgow Rangers
early the following season.
However he made just six appearances at Ibrox and found himself involved in a
City of London Police investigation into alleged corrupt practices in football
transfers - arrested and bailed in November 2007.
A trial (of the football variety) at Blackburn Rovers in January 2008
failed to result in a move to Ewood Park as Faye
had already appeared in two early season
games for Charlton before his Rangers loan -
current rules prevent players from turning
out competitively for three clubs in one
season.
After being released by Charlton,
Faye then joined Stoke City ahead of the
2008/09 season, joining similarly
named ex-Magpie and Senegalese colleague, Abdoulaye
Faye and seemingly reverted back to "Amdy".
He then slipped back into SJP in December of that year almost unnoticed,
playing for the Potters as they drew 2-2 with United.
However he was missing from the City side when Newcastle visited the Britannia
Stadium the following April and had made just one senior appearance - in the
Carling Cup - in the 2009/10 season when he celebrated his birthday.

Passage into the 5th Round was virtually assured with this
outstanding home result, as the team from Portugal quite literally froze
- having never seen snow before. Cue handed-down memories of "socks

Eight days after losing at Anfield in the League, we exited from the
Cup on the other side of Stanley Park.
A tight game was decided by Dave Watson's effort, with a glaring miss by Ruel Fox
late on preventing United from earning a replay.
2001 Carl Cort played for 80
minutes of the reserves' 2-0 victory over Liverpool at Kingston Park.
Goals came from Pablo Bonvin and Diego Gavilan.
NUFC.com match report
2005 Speaking to the Mirror, NUFC Chairman Freddy
Shepherd commented:
"I believe in my heart
of hearts there is a good chance Alan (Shearer) will play on next season.
"He's got the
Premiership goals record and I know he wants Jackie Milburn's record
too. I know what Alan's like.
"That is going to be a
carrot for him if he does not break it this season. I know I would love
to see him break that record."
 2006 Manchester United (a)
0-2 (0-2)
Premiership
Rooney(8,12)
67,858
Glenn Roeder's huddle -inspired troops had
something of a reality check at Old Trafford and were
only spared a sound thrashing thanks to some wayward finishing by the home
side.
The damage was done in the first twelve
minutes with Wayne Rooney scoring twice after being gifted the first by
Peter Ramage and then out-muscling him for the second.
And only the rear end of Robbie Elliott
prevented a Rooney hat-trick - although the England man still missed a
virtual open goal.
Some fine stops from Shay Given and more
profligacy prevented a wider margin of victory while the home goal was rarely threatened - a long range
Lee Bowyer shot being our closest effort. The phrase 'gulf in class' seemed
wholly inadequate.
NUFC.com match report
2007 The reserves
lost 2-1 to Blackburn
Rovers at Morecambe's Christie Park.
15 year-old Magpie Ryan Donaldson netted his first goal at this level, becoming the youngest
reserve scorer in recent years - even beating then-reserve coach Lee Clark's debut effort for us in 1988
by a couple of weeks.
However, Rovers scored twice after the break through
Scottish striker Paul Gallagher.
