Newcastle United planning something they have never done before – supporters take note as key details leaked

On Saturday, March 29, Newcastle United will celebrate their historic Carabao Cup victory in the city. The Gazette and sister publication Newcastle World reported on Monday that Newcastle’s Town Moor is thought to have been chosen to host the “large-scale supporter event” next Saturday, however the club has not yet revealed the specifics of the festivities. An open-top bus parade around the city will be replaced by the event. Bus parades were a feature of Newcastle’s previous major trophy victories in 1955 and 1969, as well as their FA Cup runner-up finish in 1998.

 

However, the club is organizing a gathering with supporters on the 1,000-acre Town Moor, which is located outside of Newcastle city center, after ending a 70-year domestic trophy drought. In just nine days, planning meetings have already been held, and a great deal of work is being done behind the scenes to organize what is anticipated to be the biggest public event in the city’s recent history. After losing to Brighton & Hove Albion in the FA Cup at the beginning of the month, Newcastle will not be playing that weekend.The Magpies’ non-international players are currently in Dubai for warm-weather training and downtime following the 2-1 Carabao Cup final victory over Liverpool at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.

 

The likes of Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, Alexander Isak, Emil Krafth, Dan Burn, Tino Livramento, Anthony Gordon and others will have returned from their respective international duties in time for the event on March 29.

 

In addition to the planned Town Moor celebrations, Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe is set to be given the Freedom of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne after helping end the club’s long trophy drought.

 

What Eddie Howe said about Newcastle United Carabao Cup celebration plans

 

Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe was asked about potential celebrations following the Carabao Cup win.

 

“Yeah, I think there has to be,” he responded. “I certainly will be encouraging it, which is very rare for me, believe me. Usually I’m the other way. But no, we have to celebrate.

 

“We have to celebrate hopefully with our supporters, with everyone that’s waited so long. It is difficult because it’s international duty. Players will be going off here. They’re going everywhere.

 

“We’re going to Dubai tomorrow. So, it won’t be long to spend together, but hopefully it’ll be really enjoyable.

 

Howe said: “I feel amazing, I think it’s an incredible day really. So, so pleased with our performance. I thought we were magnificent.

 

“I don’t think it was a lucky win from our perspective. Fully deserved, I thought the players were magnificent.

 

“A great moment and that’s what it’s all about. It’s about embracing success. You have so many difficult days in football and this club’s had its fair share over the years.

 

“So, just trying to enjoy the moment and take it all in. It did, yeah. I think you’re pleased for other people really. I’m so pleased for the players. They’ve all had different journeys to get to this point. But we’ve come together as a squad.

 

“I love working with them every day. Honoured to be their leader.

 

“Since I’ve been at the Football Club, the support we’ve had home and away has been incredible. So, I’m just so pleased they have this trophy to end the long wait and hopefully we can get some more in the future.”
