Gerry & Sewell
giveaway
winner
Returning to
Newcastle's Theatre Royal this month is "Gerry & Sewell", a tale of two
Toon fans searching for their holy grail of season tickets, despite being
totally skint....
Based on Jonathan Tulloch's book "The Season Ticket" and
previously filmed as "Purely Belter", seven performances take
place from Tuesday June 9th to
Saturday June 13th, with matinees on both the Thursday and
Saturday.
Tickets are on sale
here
We had
two tickets to give away for opening night on June 9th and asked
which Blaydon building hosted Blaydon Races lyricist Geordie
Ridley's show on that day in 1862.
It was the Mechanics' Hall and from the correct entries received,
two tickets will go to Paul Ross.
Update:
Jaouen claims
made
Media reports in France suggest that
Newcastle have reached agreement with Ligue 2 side Reims to sign
their goalkeeper, Ewen Jaouen.
The 20 year-old Parisian is a French U21 international and made 34
appearances last season as Reims finished sixth, two points shy of a
promotion playoff spot.
A four year contract at a cost of £24m is speculated upon, but as
yet, neither club have commented on the story.
Update:

Anthony Elanga
(Sweden):
Thu 04.06.2026 Greece (h) drew 2-2
FR
The Newcastle man arrived from the bench in the 63rd minute, with
the score 1-1 in Stockholm.
A collision with an opposition player saw Elanga briefly
hospitalised post-match but he quickly returned to confirm his
fitness when speaking to journalists.
Mon 01.06.2026 Norway (a) lost 1-3
FR
Elanga was in the starting
line-up for the game in Oslo, replaced at the interval when his side trailed 0-3.
Sweden's consolation goal was an eye-catching strike by that Isak
bloke, shortly after arriving as substitute.
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Greece):
Thu 04.06.2026 Sweden (a) drew 2-2 FR
The goalkeeper was an unused substitute in Stockholm.
Sun 07.06.2026 Italy (h) Heraklion FR

Bruno Guimaraes (Brazil):
Sat 06.06.2026 Egypt (n) Cleveland FR
Sun 31.05.2026 Panama (h)

The Newcastle midfielder was in the starting line-up and made way at
half-time for Lucas Paqueta at Rio's Maracana stadium. The score was
2-1 to Brazil at that point.
Alex Murphy (Ireland):
Sat 06.06.2026 Canada (a) Montreal FR
Thu 28.05.2026 Qatar (h) won 1-0 FR

Update:
I got stripes
Launched next Tuesday (June 10th) in the UK, some
overseas Mags have already found Newcastle United's 2026/27 home
shirt out in the wild.
The new design has drawn comparisons with the Umbro "barcode"
shirt from the early 1990s.
Update:
Fab 2027
Tuesday saw Newcastle confirm that they have retained
defender Fabian Schar for one further season.
The 34 year-old former Swiss international was due to become
a free agent this summer after eight seasons at Gallowgate,
but has signed new a 12 month deal.
Schar made the most recent of his 251 league and cup
appearances for the Magpies at home to Leeds in January,
missing the remainder of the season with an ankle injury
followed by surgery on a foot ailment.
PS: The club also confirmed that non-playing goalkeeper Mark Gillespie
has agreed an extension
to remain at Gallowgate for a seventh successive season.
Update:
The departed
The exit of six senior Magpies from SJP is now confirmed, with Kieran Trippier, Emil Krafth, Matt Targett,
John
Ruddy, Max Thompson and Aaron Ramsdale all leaving.
The first-named five become free agents, while Ramsdale
returns to former club Southampton after the expiration of
his one season loan deal.
The absence of Harrison Ashby and Joe White
from the above list looks to confirm that the pair have at
least 12 more months on their own contracts.
Meanwhile, seven members of the development squad
have been released: goalkeepers Adam Harrison and James Taylor,
defenders Ciaran Thompson and Thomas Bryant, midfielders
Darren
Palmer and Alfie Harrison plus forward Joe Brayson all moving on
this summer.
Update :
NUST 2026
survey
The annual Newcastle United Supporters Trust (NUST)
member survey is now online, including questions about
ticket sales and distribution, ID checks and the upcoming
Murrayfield kickabout amongst other topics.
Members should have received an email with a link to the
survey - note that the closing date is Monday, June 8th
at Midnight and there's an extra incentive to respond, in
the shape of a prize draw for a signed NUFC shirt.
NB: the survey is restricted to NUST members only, but
renewals and new memberships are available for just £1.

Latest:
Midfield
exit
confirmed
Update: the permanent departure of Hernes was announced by
NUFC on Wednesday.
Earlier: Dutch media outlets report that FC Groningen have exercised the
option contained in his loan agreement to permanently sign Newcastle
midfielder Travis Hernes.
The 20 year-old Norwegian youth international spent last season on
loan at the Eredivisie side but didn't make his senior debut until
January - the first of 11 appearances.
Signing a four year contract for an undisclosed fee, Hernes ends an
association with United that began when he was acquired from
Shrewsbury Town in September 2023.
Following a handful of U21 appearances and a single bench selection
in the Premier League, Travis concluded his first season as a Magpie
with two senior outings in the friendly matches played in Australia.
Two more friendly appearances followed ahead of the 2024/25 season; returning to the U21s until completing a loan move to Danish side Aab
in early 2025.
Further pre-season pitch time with Newcastle's first team followed
ahead of his temporary switch to Groningen.
Latest:
KK
news update
Speaking in Newcastle on Sunday, former Magpie Kevin
Keegan confirmed that he's suffering from stage four
stomach cancer, but responding well to treatment.
The condition was discovered while undergoing tests
following a car accident, prompting the Keegan family to
release a statement in January confirming his diagnosis.
Speaking at an event in Kings Lynn on Friday, KK told the
Daily Telegraph, "I'm feeling well; I'm nearly
through it, it's looking good, really good."
Sunday then saw him return to Tyneside for a show at the
Opera House, joined on stage by Peter Beardsley.
Update:
Dalglish diagnosis
Former Newcastle boss Kenny Dalglish has confirmed
his own cancer diagnosis, having accidentally revealed the
news to his online followers:
"As my inadvertent social
media post has indicated, I am currently undergoing
treatment for cancer. Unlike my mobile phone use, the
treatment is going well.
"Ideally, this would have remained
private because that’s the way it should be, but my useless
technology skills have forced my hand.
"Obviously I did not mean to
make this matter public so I would appreciate it if the privacy of
my family and myself are respected.
"As ever, thank you to the
wonderful medical staff who have shown incredible care and
discretion, not just for me but for many, many others. They are a
credit to themselves.”
Departure:
Gordon gone: official
Confirmation of Anthony Gordon's move to Barcelona came from
both clubs on Friday May 29th.
In stark contrast to last year's forced sale of Alexander Isak,
Gordon's departure looks amicable, with a final interview from him
posted on the Newcastle website alongside quotes from Eddie Howe and
Ross Wilson.
Gordon's comments include the following:
"I owe this club a lot because,
when I arrived, I was quite lost both in life and in football. The
club has given me a sense of belonging and a sense of identity. It's
allowed me to do what I always thought I could do. It's put me on
the biggest stage and allowed me to perform for the shirt.
"Since coming to the club, I
feel I've improved a lot on the pitch but this club has played a big
part in the person I've become over the last three-and-a-half years.
"It was really important for me
to leave this place in a good way because I've loved every single
minute of being a part of Newcastle United. This is an incredible
club and one that I'll never forget. I'll be a fan for the rest of
my life."
Barca Sporting Director Deco successfully concluded negotiations for the
player in London, amid abortive approaches from Bayern
Munich and Liverpool.
The 25 year-old then left Newcastle by private plane on
Thursday morning, landing at El Prat airport before undergoing his
medical in Barcelona.
Signing a five year contract at the Nou Camp, Gordon's deal
will be ratified when the window opens on June 15th.
Gordon faced the Catalans three times in the season just
ended for Newcastle in the Champions League, netting once - in the
1-2 home loss last September.
Arriving from Everton in the January 2023 transfer window at a
claimed cost of £45m, the Toffees inserted a sell-on clause
giving them a percentage of any profit Newcastle make from a
future transfer.
Update:
Old gold for old boy
Following the expiration of his Newcastle contract, Kieran
Trippier is set to join Wolves as they prepare to return to the
Championship following their recent relegation.
Assuming that he passes his medical, the 35 year-old former England
international defender will sign a two year deal at Molineux with
the option of a third season included.
This will be the third time Trippier has played in the second tier,
following Championship service with Barnsley and Burnley earlier in
his career.
The last player to join Wolves after Magpies service was Mike
Williamson back in 2016.
Murrayfield visit:
Everton (n) on sale now
Newcastle
have confirmed a pre-season kickabout against fellow Everton at Edinburgh's Murrayfield
Stadium.
The Magpies and the Toffees will meet on
Wednesday August 12th with a 5.15pm start and all ticket sales are via Ticketmaster.
Tickets are now on public sale.
As NUFC aren't selling tickets direct, there's no loyalty point
requirement and no point will be issued to attendees.
ST/member pre-sale prices ranged from
£35 to £75 for adults plus booking fees of up to £13 - an
incredible uplift in cost compared to the £25 tickets at Celtic last
July.
While outrageous, the pricing is little shock to anyone attending
the Premier League Summer Series of games featuring Newcastle in the
USA during 2023.
That was also handled by Ticketmaster, with the cheapest ticket for
United's games against Aston Villa (in Philadelphia) and Chelsea (in
Atlanta) £49 when including booking fees.
There has been an inevitable backlash from fans unhappy at paying
the equivalent of Champions League ticket prices, the line "from
£35" factually correct but grossly misleading.
Although not administering this game (but presumably approving the
ticket prices), Newcastle's opportunity to make amends will arise in
the form of the home friendlies.
A sensible pricing policy for those games would seem like a small
but necessary action after the Lothian shakedown.
The teatime kick-off does mean that it's possible to get back to
London Kings Cross via train post-match - which may be handy, given
the price of hotels in Edinburgh due to the annual Fringe Festival
taking place at the same time.
We're uncertain whether this really is a "dry run" to test the
viability of staging future NUFC games at Murrayfield, were SJP to
be unavailable due to reconstruction.
Regarding the rest of pre-season, the players will report back
around
July 13th and include a training camp in the Spanish resort of La Manga.
A pair of home friendlies over the weekend of August 15th/16th are
anticipated, with Serie A side AS Roma and French League Strasbourg
among rumoured opponents.
Unlikely lads:

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 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 will remain unchanged at £30 for both 2026/27 and
2027/28.

Born Or Died:
2001 Ryan Barrett born, Wrexham, Wales (2017-22)
The son of former Magpie reserve midfielder Paul, Ryan was
born while his father was playing for Wrexham - benefiting from that by
representing Wales at youth level.
With United's Academy from the age of 12, the right back made his U18 bow in a
0-7 loss at Everton in March 2018 - enjoying a rather happier home debut soon
after with a 3-1 win against Liverpool.
Graduating to the U23s for a 4-2 home victory over West Bromwich Albion in
early 2019, injury sidelined Ryan for much of the following COVID-truncated
season.
Agreeing a contract extension in July 2020, Barrett was a regular starter for
the club's U23s in the following campaign.
However, he failed to establish himself and exited from SJP
in June 2022.
Later moves took him on to Inverness Caledonian Thistle (Scotland), Blyth
Spartans, Mousehole, Alfreton Town and Stockton Town.
2017 Death of Cheick Tiote 30. (2010-17)
Cheick collapsed during training with Chinese club Beijing
Enterprises following a suspected cardiac arrest.
The Ivorian midfielder had left United just four months
earlier - his final appearance in our colours coming during January 2017.

1998 Germany warmed up for the World Cup Finals

Bayern Munich within weeks.
1999 Gary Speed appeared for Wales as
they lost 0-4 to Italy in a European Championship
qualifier in Bologna.
1999 A training ground mishap left Shay Given with
knee ligament damage ahead of Ireland's European
Championship home qualifier against Macedonia.
He was to be absent from the Newcastle side until October
of that year, with Steve Harper, Tommy Wright and Jon
Karelse all deputising.
2002 Game Two of Ireland's World Cup Final campaign
saw a fighting 1-1 draw with Germany in Ibraki.
An on-form Shay Given was between the posts while
former and future Magpies faced each other in the
midfield, in the shape of Dietmar Hamann & Damien
Duff.
2003 While United's pursuit of Feyenoord's Brett
Emerton continued, Nicos Dabizas, Clarence Acuna, Robbie
Elliott, Jamie McClen and Wayne Quinn were all put up for

whom former Toon junior Bjarni Gudjonsson was a 68th

2004 United's Hugo Viana was a second half

However they lost 1-3 to the eventual tournament winners
Italy in Bochum.

Carrow Road for England's U21s against Slovakia ahead of
the European Championship finals.
Milner was subbed at the interval whil Taylor played the full
game, connecting with a cross from future Magpie
Wayne Routledge to put England three up.
Despite the convincing victory the game ended with a
pre-arranged penalty shootout to give England some
practice ahead of possible spot kick tests in the
Netherlands: neither Toon man took part.
2009 "Make or
break" talks over the identity of Newcastle United's
next manager ended with no word from either the Alan
Shearer or Mike Ashley camps. And with United also up for
sale, the club were left severely in limbo.
2014 Striker Ayoze
Perez became United's first permanent signing since
January 2013, joining from Tenerife for an undisclosed fee
around £1m.
2019 Much
cyber excitement came with the appearance of a
newly-registered company at Companies House - fuelling
speculation that it was related to a rumoured NUFC
takeover.
Monochrome Acquisition Limited was registered via
London-based law firm Pinsent Masons LLP who operate in
the area of sports finance with two officers listed -
the man behind a claimed bid for NUFC and the other his
lawyer; Khaled Zayed Saquer Zayed Alnahyan and Sheikh
Midhat Kamil Kidwai.
