Fender:
SJP
confirmed
Local chanter Sam Fender has announced dates at SJP next
year, on Thu 03.06.2027 and Sat 05.06.2027.
There's a pre-sale option open to those ordering the new Sam Fender
record before 9am on Mon 26.10.2026 - that pre-sale is at 9.30am on
Wed 28.10.2026.
A pre-sale for NUFC ST holders and members registered by 5pm on Tue

Public sale then begins at 9.30am on Fri 30.10.2026.
Fender entertained sell-out crowds at two SJP shows in 2023, returning
there
for a trio of concerts in 2025.

on July 1st 2027.
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.

will speak at what is billed as an "inspiring evening of talks,
music and unity" in conjunction with the Newcastle United
Supporters Trust.

7pm on Sunday November 1st Tickets are now available online
here for £10 (£15 on the door).

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.

On the road, defeats came at Everton (0-2) and Brighton (0-5), with
a 0-0 draw at Leeds and a 2-3 win at Fulham.
Ahead of our visit, the Eagles are in Istanbul on Thursday night,

U21s:
U21 derby this Monday
Pointless after their opening three PL2 matches, Newcastle U21s
return to action on Monday, when they face their local rivals at SJP
in a 7pm kick-off.
Season ticket holders can gain access to the East Stand free of
charge by showing their ticket at the turnstiles.
NUFC advise ST holders to 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 from the online NUFC box office, priced at £5 adults and £2
seniors/juniors.
This is the first reserve game at SJP since a 7-1 PL2 win over
Reading in April 2025, while the last U21 derby fixture played at
Gallowgate was a 1-1 draw in October 2022.
PS: Tickets are on sale for the U21s EFL Trophy tie at
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)
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.
2026/27 :
Senior Cup draw
The Quarter-final draw for this season's Northumberland Senior
Cup has taken place, with current holders Whitley Bay drawn at
home to Blyth Town:
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.
* Scheduled to be played on Thu 22.10.2026.
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 be settled on
penalties.
The visitors will be backed by 7,732 fans - United's largest
away support since 7,800 were at Manchester City for the FA Cup
Sixth Round in March 2024 (excepting Wembley).
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.

Born Or Died:
1959 Kevin Sheedy born, Builth Wells, Wales.
(1992-93)
Almost a forgotten man as far as his SJP career is
concerned, but compared to some of the misfits he
replaced (eg Terry Wilson) this free transfer was a
wise move by KK.
Having made his debut as a teenager for Hereford,
Sheedy joined Liverpool in 1978, but made only five
first team appearances in four years before moving
across Stanley Park to Everton (the Reds had earlier
tried to get him to join both Blackpool and Derby
rather than the Toffees).
A tribunal set the fee at £100K and Kevin went on to
win two Championships and a European Cup Winners Cup
medal, although injury saw him miss out on an FA Cup
Final success.
While a youngster at Edgar Street, Sheedy opted to
play internationally for the Republic of Ireland
rather than his native Wales.
That decision (based on the probability of appearing
in the finals of major tournaments) was vindicated
when Kevin made his full Eire debut in 1983 - and
went on to win 46 caps.
Included in a record of 46 caps and nine goals in a
decade of service were appearances at the 1988
European Championships and 1990 World Cup - the
latter seeing him score against England.
Four months short of ten years at Goodison came to an
end when Kevin Keegan came calling, with Sheedy
passing up the chance of a testimonial in order to
move to SJP.
Sheedy's debut came in a 1-1 home draw against
Barnsley in February 1992 and he played 13 times as
United successfully avoided relegation. His first
goal for the club came in a 1-1 at Grimsby Town.
Things were much improved in the following season,
with Sheedy scoring in away wins at Bristol Rovers,
Peterborough and Notts County as United rose to the
top of the table, en route to being crowned
champions.
His final game came in a 3-0 victory at Tranmere
Rovers in February 1993, after which new signing
Scott Sellars took over down the left.
Leaving Newcastle, a free transfer took Sheedy to
Blackpool before hanging up his boots at the end of
the 1993/94 season.
Subsequent coaching roles at Blackburn Rovers and
Tranmere Rovers were then followed by a stint at
Hartlepool United as number two to Mike Newell.
Returning to Everton as an Academy coach in 2006,
Kevin was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2012
but quickly returned to his post as Toffees U18 boss following treatment.
Following a spell coaching youngsters at Saudi
Arabian side Al-Shabiab, the Sheedy/Newell
managerial partnership was revived in 2020 at
League of Ireland Waterford United.
However, that proved to be short lived and they
lasted just nine games before departing.
2000 Jack Young born, Hexham.
(2017-22)
At Newcastle's Academy from the age of
seven, central midfielder Jack's first taste of U18
football came from the bench against Manchester City
in early 2017.
A regular starter over the following two seasons,
2018/19 saw Young's progress rewarded with an U23
debut in a Premier League Cup game versus Notts
County.
The following season then brought with a run of
starts for the second string after putting pen to
paper on a first professional deal.
That elongated campaign ended with a trio of unused
first team substitute selections for Jack and
October 2020 saw him agree a season-long loan with
League Two side Tranmere Rovers.
However, that was anything but successful and he
returned after just five appearances.
Making a senior team bow for Newcastle in a
pre-season game at Doncaster Rovers the following
July, Jack featured in the next three kickabouts but
returned to the U23s after a rumoured loan move
failed to materialise.
Loaned to Wycombe Wanderers in January
2022, Young converted that into a permanent three
year deal with the Chairboys.
Never a regular starter at Adams Park, Jack spent
time on loan at Ayr United, Wealdstone and Dorking
Wanderers.
Released by Wycombe in summer 2025, Young signed for
Farnborough but soon rejoined Dorking Wanderers on
loan.
Moving on to Worthing, the 2026/27 season saw him
return to the North East with Spennymoor Town after
a trial at Carlisle United.

A timely win halted United's seven game unbeaten
league run and gave them a first home derby success in
three attempts.
Two Sammy Weaver specials won it, with the Sunday
Sun's description of his later winner noting that;
"the tremendous shout which greeted the consummation
was eloquent tribute to the electrifying effect upon a
highly -strung crowd."

Davies(43,59)
50,550
What was to be United's final -ever home Fairs Cup tie saw Wyn Davies net
twice with headers and Bob Moncur hit the woodwork.
The Mighty Wyn also struck the crossbar and had a goal dubiously ruled out as he
went in search of his hat trick.
Various penalty appeals were also ignored by the German referee, including a
foul on Tommy Gibb that Magpies boss Joe Harvey called "the worst penalty
decision I have ever seen."

noteworthy stops.

1996 Newcastle gave a week's trial to Torquay United's
Rodney Jack, a 24 year-old striker who played
internationally for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

50,593
Sir Bobby Robson's ongoing paranoia over Gustavo Poyet
saw him resort to a central defensive trio, with Aaron
Hughes shackling the dangerous Uruguayan.
However, Poyet was in plenty of space when he headed home
a Darren Anderton cross at the Leazes End.
Before that, Anderton was initially given the
opener, although his aimless centre was going nowhere
until it struck Gary Speed and deflected past Shay
Given.
The PL Dubious Goals Panel later agreed and credited Speed
with the own goal.

16,506
The kick-off at Fulham's temporary Loftus Road home was delayed for over 30
minutes due to a bomb scare, caused by a suspiciously parked car in a nearby
street.
On the pitch, the main threat came in the shape of old boys
Magpies Lee Clark and Louis Saha, both soon on target.
With Craig Bellamy in the USA for surgery, Shola Ameobi partnered Alan
Shearer and that pair soon set up Laurent Robert to blast the ball past Edwin
Van der Sar.
Shearer levelled from spot after ex-Magpie Alain Goma
fouled Shola before our number nine grabbed an unlikely winner as United got
their second away win in four days.

2004 Craig
Bellamy issued an apology after TV cameras caught him badmouthing
manager Graeme Souness following his substitution at The Valley:
"My outburst wasn't really aimed at the manager on Sunday but more at the
situation.
"Call me old fashioned if you want,
but my view when a player is substituted is that he has been
ineffective, and I didn't feel I was ineffective against Charlton
Athletic.
"I know I will never get a better
club than Newcastle United. There is no other club I want to play
for and it would be a dream for me stay here for the rest of my
career.
"I haven't any problems with what
the manager is trying to do."

Just as a poor first UEFA Cup group tie seemed set for a stalemate, substitute Shola Ameobi won a late penalty to give
us three precious points in Athens.
Minutes earlier Shola had tumbled in the box in fairly unconvincing
fashion and his spot kick pleas were rightly waved away.
However, the Italian referee gave the decision second time round and
Alan Shearer bagged a 21st European goal for the club.

2009
Following the award of £2m to Kevin Keegan by a Premier League
Tribunal, the former United boss won another financial battle, with
confirmation that legal costs (plus interest) must also be met
by NUFC.
No amount was given, but if the two parties were
unable to agree, the tribunal had the power to impose a figure. Some
media sources claimed that the figure could even be as high as
£1.5m.
This judgment included the following:
"The Club should pay Mr Keegan’s costs on an indemnity basis given the
manner in which it conducted this litigation: its defence on the
primary liability issue was, in our view, wholly without merit and
it chose to make entirely unfounded allegations against Mr Keegan."
2010 Press reports confirmed that Magpies striker Andy Carroll's
Range Rover had been torched as it stood outside Kevin Nolan's
Darras Hall home the previous night.
Living with team mate Nolan as part of his bail conditions for
an ongoing court case for assault, Carroll had recently bought the
car after signing a new contract.
The police appealed for information about the fire and some
graffiti that was written on the adjacent garage door.

Only an unlucky late own goal denied United the

saw red for a studs-up challenge.
A resolute display spearheaded by Fabricio Coloccini looked to have
been enough, but he'd been forced off through injury by the time a
hopeful free kick hit Demba Ba's chin and left Tim Krul helpless.
