Senior Cup date set
![](/web/20240415125233im_/https://www.nufc.com/grounds/woodhorn-lane-m.jpg)
Following last week's postponement caused by a waterlogged pitch at
Woodhorn Lane, a new date for the Northumberland Senior Cup
semi-final between Ashington and Newcastle U21s has been agreed.
The Colliers will host the Magpies on Thursday May 2nd at 7.30pm.
There's no provision for extra time or a replay; if the scores are
level after 90 minutes then the tie will be settled by a penalty
shootout.
Advance purchase tickets are valid for the new date. Anyone unable
to make the rescheduled tie can apply for a refund via [email protected]
At stake is a trip to SJP in the final, against either Blyth Town or
Newcastle Benfield. Their semi-final meeting is scheduled for
Wednesday April 24th.

Update:
Join Hall.....
Speaking to Chronicle scribe Lee Ryder following the 4-0 home win
over Spurs, Lewis Hall confirmed that the terms switching his
loan move from Chelsea to a permanent transfer had been
met:
"I am here now as a
Newcastle player and I really enjoy it. The future looks really good
for the club with so many young and talented players. It is going in
the right direction."
"I played a lot of my early
senior appearances at left-back or wing-back. But I like to be
versatile and play in other positions if required.
"I used to be a midfielder
when I was younger but wherever the gaffer wants me to play I will
play."
The 19 year-old made his twelfth Premier League appearance as a
Magpie on the day that victory for Newcastle confirmed they'd finish
14th or higher.
The second stipulation that Hall to be named in 30 or more first
team squads was also met, meaning that a £28m switch from Stamford
Bridge is now locked in.

Newcastle U21s returned to PL2 action on Saturday
morning against Fulham at Whitley Park.
Scoreless at the break, the pink-clad visitors went ahead on 62 minutes
through Delano McCoy-Splatt, only for Jamie Miley to immediately equalise
with his first goal of the season.
Parity was fleeting however; Lemar Gordon restoring Fulham's lead on
80 minutes before Joshua King gave the final score a slightly
lop-sided look by beating home custodian Jude Smith in the final seconds of
normal time.

NUFC confirmed on Friday that the 2023/24 season ticket price
increase will be repeated for 2024/25 season tickets: an average of
3.3% achieved by raising adult prices by 5% and freezing junior
prices.
The renewal period has also been brought forward this year from
June/July to April/May.
Individual match day prices weren't announced.
From NUFC, Friday:
Newcastle United can announce that the renewal process for 2024/25
season tickets will open on Tuesday, 23rd April.
Supporters will be able to renew
their existing season tickets here
until 5pm on Monday, 20th May. Season ticket holders who renew their
ticket will also be able to enrol in soon-to-be-confirmed cup
schemes.
The club has once again frozen
prices for all junior categories, while thousands of supporters will
continue to pay prices set during the 2011/12 season as part of a
long-term price freeze deal.
Prices for all remaining season
ticket categories will rise by 5%, ensuring a blended average price
rise of 3.3% across St. James' Park.
The club has continued to invest
in enhancing the matchday experience at St. James' Park, including
adding licensed standing, improved concourses, new digital services
and an exciting new fan zone - the St. James' STACK, presented by
Sela - which is set to open this summer. Work to enhance stadium
connectivity will also commence soon.
The club has also commissioned
an ongoing comprehensive feasibility study with a leading global
agency to explore what is possible in terms of expanding and
enhancing the stadium in future.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CUP SEATING
Our aim is to ensure that all
enrolled season ticket holders can enjoy eligible matches from their
existing season ticket seat.

Should this be the case, an
alternative seat will be offered for affected matches.
TRANSFERRING TICKETS
Season ticket holders will once
again be able to transfer tickets to eligible registered family
members or friends if they are unable to attend a match. This will
be supported by ID checks at St. James' Park.

need to download their digital season ticket once for the full
season.
For cup matches, separate
individual match tickets will need to be downloaded.
Update:
Sports Direct v NUFC
- tribunal decision
Update:
Friday saw the Competition Appeal Tribunal rule that the Sports
Direct claim against Newcastle United was insufficient to merit the
granting of an injunction against the club.
The case will proceed to trial unless an alternative solution can be
reached, with no delay to the June home kit launch permissible,
regardless of whether said trial has taken place by then.
Sports Direct are challenging the club's plans to sell next
season's shirts themselves and via retailer JD Sports - the latter
gaining an exclusive licence.
Earlier: details of next season's Adidas kit
releases were mentioned during the tribunal, including a home kit
launch on June 7th, the away kit in July and a third kit in August.
Figures disclosed during the tribunal also suggest that the
Adidas production run is around 375,000 shirts.
Premier
League:
Midfielder commits
From NUFC, Thursday, a genuinely heartening piece of news
despite the fact he's currently unavailable:
Newcastle United are delighted
to announce that Joelinton has signed a new long-term
contract at St. James' Park.
The Brazilian midfielder joined
the club from Hoffenheim in a then-club record deal in 2019 and has
since amassed 179 appearances for the Magpies, scoring 25 goals.
Initially playing as a forward,
the 27-year-old has been a revelation in a deeper box-to-box
midfield role under head coach Eddie Howe and was a driving force
last season as the club reached the Carabao Cup final and qualified
for the UEFA Champions League.
In June 2023, Joelinton's club
performances were rewarded with international recognition and he
scored on his senior debut for Brazil in a 4-1 win against Guinea.
After agreeing a new deal with
the Magpies, Joelinton said: "I feel great. I feel very happy
and my family is happy. A lot of things have happened in my years
here. I've learnt a lot and grown a lot, and for me to come here to
Newcastle was the best decision of my career.
"I love playing for the
club. I love the club, I love the fans. We had a lot of discussions
and I always wanted to be here. I'm glad to continue and I hope to
have success in the years to come."
Head coach Eddie Howe added:
"This has been a big priority for us off the pitch and I'm
absolutely delighted Joelinton has committed his future to the club.
"Joey is an exceptional
player and person, and the love he has for the club is reciprocated
by all of us here. He brings unique qualities to the group and
undoubtedly makes us stronger.
"I'd like to thank everyone
involved behind the scenes for bringing this to a swift and positive
conclusion. We are all excited to see Joelinton in a Newcastle shirt
for many years to come."
Premier
League:
Brighton (h) & Man U
(a) dates confirmed
The Premier League confirmed on Wednesday that
Newcastle's final home game of the season against Brighton
isn't among the live TV picks and therefore remains a 3pm
start on Saturday May 11th.
Meanwhile our postponed PL visit to Manchester United will be staged on Wednesday
May 15th with an 8pm kick-off, live on Sky Sports.
That leaves only confirmation of whether our final day visit to Brentford
will be selected for live UK TV - although that would have no
bearing on the kick-off, already set for 4pm on Sunday May
19th.
PS: That Brighton scheduling is bad news for any season ticket
holders hoping to attend Gateshead's FA Trophy Final at Wembley on
May 11th.
Update:
Hong Kong return
now confirmed
The annual Hong Kong Soccer Sevens competition returns
between May 24th and 26th, with Newcastle United among the 16 teams
participating.
The Magpies have won the event three times and are joined by
defending champions Aston Villa, Brighton, Fulham, West Ham,
Leicester City and Rangers.
PS: The veterans section of the Soccer Sevens will also run
at the same time, with Wallsend Boys club defending their Masters
crown.
Update:
Yet another injury
Newcastle winger Trevan Sanusi has taken to social media
to confirm that an unspecified injury has prematurely ended his
first season at Gallowgate.
The fleet-footed 16 year-old was acquired from Birmingham City last
September and promoted to the U21s two months later. He's gone on to
net twice in his eight reserve appearances to date.
Spotted training with the first team last month, Sanusi's
omission from the United side for Friday's PL2 win over West
Bromwich Albion prompted speculation of a call-up to the squad for
our PL visit to Fulham.
Instead however, the England U17 international prospect faces a
spell on the sidelines - hopefully nothing more than a temporary
setback.
PS: fellow teenager Travis Hernes has also been missing in
recent weeks since debuting at U21 level - another presumed victim
of our injury curse....
Update:
NUST survey
The 2024 Newcastle United
Supporters Trust (NUST) survey is now online and members have
until 7pm on Tuesday April 16th to complete theirs.
The survey seeks to capture views on home and away ticketing,
atmosphere at home games and possible stadium redevelopment and
relocation. There's also a section of NUST-related questions.
Results will play a part in guiding the future policy of the NUST -
it's therefore in the collective interest to gauge the opinions of
as many of the 13,000+ members as possible. It'll only take a few
minutes.
Surveys can be completed by
clicking on a unique link sent out by email. Anyone members yet to
receive a link should email [email protected]
PS: the survey is only open to current NUST members; anyone
wishing to join online
here
Update:
Country
call for Kuol
Currently on loan at Dutch league
basement club Volendaam but struggling for pitch time there,
United's Garang Kuol has unsurprisingly been released to
answer a call-up by Australia's U23 side.
The Olyroos are one of 16 participants in the U23 Asian Cup finals
staged in Qatar between April 15th and May 3rd. They are in Group D
along with the host nation and will play their group games in
Doha:
Mon 15.04.2024 Jordan
Thu 18.04.2024 Indonesia
Sun 21.04.2024 Qatar
Kuol - who is joined by elder brother Alou in the squad - earned a
call-up after helping Australia reach the final of the WAFF (West
Asian Football Federation) Championships in Saudi Arabia last month.
The top three sides in the competition will earn a place in the
Olympic Football tournament in Paris between July 24th and August
9th. The side that finishes fourth enters a qualification playoff.
Update:
Sandro
D-Day
The deadline for a response by Sandro
Tonali to FA charges arising from multiple breaches of football
betting rules was Friday (5th).
The Italian midfielder is currently suspended from all forms of
football until August 27th 2024 - just under a fortnight after the
next PL season kicks off.

On This Day in History |
15th April |
Born Or Died:
1962 Bert-Jan Janssen born, Enschede, Netherlands.
(1984)
During Newcastle's promotion from Division Two in 1983/84, a
tip-off took them to the Netherlands and this striking prospect from lower
league club SC Enschede.
Bert-Jan spent a week on trial with United during that season and seemed set
to sign on a permanent basis in May 1984.
However no deal was done and the player instead joined Twente Enschede,
debuting for them in September of that year and appearing frequently in
midfield.
After two seasons at Twente and a spell at De Graafschap, Bert returned to SC
Enschede and combined playing with managing a mens clothes shop in the Dutch
city of Oldenzaal.
1981 Pablo Facundo Bonvin
born, Concepcion, Argentina.
(2000-01)
![](/web/20240415125233im_/https://www.nufc.com/players/bonvin-pablo-sheff-wed.jpg)
Midfielder who was signed on a year-long loan from Boca Juniors
in his homeland but failed to impress the powers-that-be at SJP sufficiently
during his reserve team outings.
Rather than returning to Argentina though, Bonvin went on trial to Sheffield
Wednesday and played 30 times for the Owls, scoring five goals in his season
at Hillsborough.
Bonvin returned to Tyneside as part of the Wednesday reserve side in February
2002, scoring in a 1-1 draw at Kingston Park.
A return to Argentina with Boca was then followed by transfer to Argentinos
Juniors, Quilmes, Argentinos Juniors, Platense and finally in Ecuador with
Universidad Católica del Ecuador, where he retired in 2008.
1985 Death of Samuel Weaver, 76.
(1929-36)
An FA Cup winner with Newcastle against Arsenal in 1932, Weaver scored at
Highbury on his debut and netted against Aston Villa in his first SJP
outing.

1986 Sylvain Marveaux born, Vannes, France. (2011-16)
![](/web/20240415125233im_/https://www.nufc.com/players/marveaux-sylvain-nufc.jpg)
Left-sided midfielder who signed a five year deal with
Newcastle on a Bosman free in July 2011, following the expiration of his
contract with French side, Rennes.
A former French U21 international, Marveaux joined Rennes since the age of 15
and made his first team debut in 2006.
However, his last game for the club was against Brest in November 2010, after
which it was decided that a groin injury that had sidelined him earlier that
season would require surgery.
A mooted move to Liverpool in 2011 was claimed to have broken down amid
concerns raised at a medical, but the player was adamant that no suitable
contract could be agreed with the Anfield club.
Debuting in a pre-season friendly away to Kansas City in July 2011, Sylvain had
his first taste of SJP when introduced at half time in the home game against
Fiorentina.
However, that was called off just after the hour mark and Marveaux's Magpies
career was to be similarly curtailed by November.
Making his competitive bow in the Carling Cup at Scunthorpe, Sylvain's senior
starts were restricted to that competition and five brief Premier League
substitute outings.
Handed his first start for the visit of Everton to Tyneside on Bonfire night,
he was forced off early in the second half and confirmed as requiring
surgery on both hip and groin.
Treated at the Colorado clinic of Doctor Richard Steadman where Alan Shearer,
Michael Owen and Craig Bellamy had all previously undergone procedures while
at Newcastle, Marveaux had returned to light training by his 26th birthday.
He then appeared regularly in the Premier and Europa League for United and
grabbed a goal in both competitions - at home against Maritimo and away to
Arsenal.
However, the 2013/14 season saw Sylvain remain on the first team fringes
following an apparent fallout with manager Alan Pardew.
Two Premier League starts, two more in the League Cup and eight substitute
outings made it a disappointing campaign, with the creative midfield vacancy
caused by the mid-season sale of Yohan Cabaye never entrusted to Marveaux.
Excluded from first team training and not selected for the club's pre-season
tour of New Zealand, it came as no shock when French Ligue 1 side Guingamp
completed a season-long loan deal for Sylvain.
Marveaux's contribution to 2015/16 amounted to four reserve appearances and
a penalty in the U21 League Cup defeat at Everton.
He was released by the club in May 2016 and by July had joined FC Lorient.
In January 2019 he was sent on loan to AS Nancy for the remainder of the
season and scored five times in nine appearances.
He signed for USL Championship side Charlotte Independence in June 2021,
joining his close friend Gabriel Obertan, but
was released in December of that year.
He was last spotted playing for Gazelec Ajaccio in the seventh tier of
French football.

Boyd(15,1-2)

Ahead of their maiden season of League participation, Newcastle faced a
number of top flight sides in practice matches.
Albion won the toss and opted to play down the substantial slope at Gallowgate
with the wind in their favour, ending the first half a goal to the good.
However things were substantially different after the break, United setting
about an Albion side who were described as "miserably poor" by one reporter
present.
Team: Whitton, Jeffrey, Miller, Creilly,
Graham, McKane, Reay Crate, Sorley, Collins, Wallace.

Newcastle's heaviest-ever league defeat came in
this
final game of the season at Burton's Derby Turn ground - a short walk away from
Albion's current home.
Ending their home programme with a 3-0 victory over Newton Heath the previous
Saturday, United made just one change to their side at Burton the following
Monday.1896 Newcastle

Continuing to play in the Northern Alliance
following the founding of United, East End were struggling financially and
requested this friendly at SJP to raise funds.
Despite fine weather on the Wednesday evening in
question though, a tiny crowd gathered.
Bottom of the Alliance, East End resigned from the league ahead of the following
season.
Team: Henderson, Milne, Foyer, Miller,
Graham, Stott, Lennox, McDonald, Thompson, Aitken, Wardrope.

This was the last match played at The Owls' old
Olive Grove ground (not far from Bramall Lane) and
the meagre attendance and score did little to cheer
up Wednesdayites.
Worse was to come for the relegated Owls however, when news broke that City
rivals United had won the FA Cup that afternoon at
The Crystal Palace.

FA Cup Final
Hampton(3,76)

United's first-ever appearance in the FA Cup
Final ended in disappointing fashion, as their hopes
of a league and cup double quickly evaporated.
After Harry Hampton had put the underdogs ahead,
Jimmy Howie wasted an opportunity to grab an
equaliser before half time.
![](/web/20240415125233im_/https://www.nufc.com/images/2009-10images/1905-04-15fac-action.jpg)
And Villa scored
again when Magpies 'keeper Jimmy Lawrence was unable
to hold a shot and Hampton nipped in to net the
rebound.
This was Newcastle's first final appearance at the
Crystal Palace - a venue that they were to visit on
five occasions without ever once winning there.
Draws against Barnsley in 1910 and Bradford 12
months proved to be their best results - with the
cup win in a replay at Goodison and then lost at Old
Trafford a year on.

United striker Albert Shepherd - who had hit
eight goals in the club's FA Cup run - was stretchered from
the field following a 25th minute collision with the Rovers
goalkeeper that badly damaged his right knee.
Not only would he miss the following week's final and
subsequent replay, but also the whole of the
next season.

Relegation fears increased for Newcastle after a third successive defeat and
they would take just four points from their last six games to avoid dropping
into Division Two by the narrowest of margins.

United staged another midweek floodlit friendly
against top-flight Scottish opposition, following
visits from Celtic and Airdrieonians.
However, overcast conditions forced the Magpies to
switch the lights on before the first half - having
originally planned only to flick the switch at the
interval.
Team: Simpson, Cowell, Batty, Stokoe,
Woollard, Crowe, White, Mulgrew, Milburn, Hannah, Mitchell.

Stoke City Reserves visited SJP in a Central League

The Tangerines ended a three match losing run
with the victory that ultimately saw them avoid
relegation at Newcastle's expense by a solitary
point.
They were aided in their quest by some poor goalkeeping from Dave Hollins, who
allowed Ray Parry's shot to bounce into the net.
The hosts fielded both 18 year old Gordon West and 46 year-old Stanley
Matthews.
1963
Easter Monday saw 3,072 fans at SJP as Blyth

United thought they'd got a late winner through
Mick Harford only for referee Michael Lowe to
bizarrely invoke a new rule of "standing in the

A sunny day at Highbury was soon overshadowed by
news of a major incident during the FA Cup Semi
Final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest taking
place at Sheffield's Hillsborough Stadium.
In pre-mobile phone days, those with radios began
relaying claims of fatalities. News of the
abandonment of the Semi Final was then relayed over
the Highbury PA "due to crowd trouble", which
triggered anti-Scouse chants, memories of Heysel in
1985 still fresh.
Durham-born Brian Marwood scrambled home the only
goal of the game late on to hand United a fourth
successive defeat and virtually confirm our
relegation.
The only visiting player to enjoy the occasion was
former Gunner Kenny Sansom, warmly welcomed back to
his old stamping ground.
Sansom came close to opening the scoring with a shot
that hit the goal frame and also had an effort
disallowed at 0-0.
Youngster David Roche made his senior debut from the
bench, while future Magpie coach Kevin Richardson
was in the home XI.
The true scale of the Hillsborough disaster only
became apparent after full time, with a first view
of chilling TV footage bringing to mind scenes of
crushing during Newcastle's visit to Spurs for an FA
Cup tie in 1987.
Ex-Magpie Peter Beardsley was on the field at
Hillsborough, with John Barnes and manager Kenny
Dalglish subsequently following him to SJP.
A trio of Forest participants meanwhile would later
join United: Stuart Pearce plus loan duo Terry
Wilson and Tommy Gaynor.
1992 The Reserves boosted their survival
chances by defeating Bolton Wanderers 3-1 at SJP.
An own goal and Mick Quinn's brace put a strong
line-up in the driving seat, aided by a 61st minute
penalty save by Pavel Srnicek to deny Chic Charnley.

so - and pretty much guaranteed Premier League football for
another season in the process.
And as he had against Manchester United, Matt Ritchie
netted to take
