Magpies to travel North for friendly

Sat, 20 Jun 11:05:11 2009

Newcastle will help Dundee United launch their centenary season celebrations with a friendly at Tannadice.

The Magpies will face the Scottish Premier League side on Sunday, August 2 (kick-off 3pm), less than a week before they meet West Brom in the first game of the new Coca-Cola Championship campaign.

It is the fourth pre-season game to be announced by the Tyneside club, who will earlier travel to Darlington and Huddersfield before hosting Leeds at St James' Park.

The club, which is still without a manager, is understood to be in the process of organising a training camp in Northern Ireland next month which could also include a game there.

  1. Come on the Tangerines. Went to Uni in Dundee too many­ years ago and followed Utd during my time (including­ see them win the League title in 82/83 at Dens Park -­ the two grounds are only a couple of hundred yards­ apart, make sure you go to the right one!). Those who­ can remember back that far may recal the McVities­ United biscuit and the advertised ditty that went with­ it. Everytime Celtic, Rangersd and Aberdeen cam e to­ Tannadice they sang the same song "There's­ only one United and that's a f***ing biscuit" ­ I was disappointed that the song never travelled south­ to be taken up by us Sunderland fans and what with your­ relegation I don't suppose it ever will­ now!
    Anyway, the prediction: Dundee Utd 2 NUFC 0

  2. Sorry Gordon, a nice thought, but we are just crpa, we­ would be relagated with in 2 years from the SLP, but at­ least you could witness the dross at our club like­ "Shoela Flippers Ameobi", or "Seal face­ Geremi", still it would get us away from the­ boring "Drummers of England", new grounds and­ better atmospheres etc, DRUM,DRUM,DRUM.

    ha, ha, i suggested that myself­ after the thrashing Arsenal gave us last season; i mean­ what's the point of us, or any other club outside­ the self-proclaimed 'big-4', taking part -­ we're never gonna be able to compete with their­ funny money! And besides, it would be easier travelling­ too!

  4. Here's one for all NU fans to consider! How about­ applying to join the SPL - would give you a chance of­ qualifying for Europe every year, and although you­ wouldn't get the sky TV money from the­ championship, it would lift the intersest in the SPL to­ a better level, and help bust the Old Firm monopoly.­ You could maybe ask Carlisle to join you.

  5. Newcastle fans are the best in England and we look­ forward to welcoming you all to Tannadice pre-season.­ If NUFC get the right manager in place and let him do­ his work in his way, then they'll breeze the­ Championship next season. I am by no means a NUFC fan­ but I do think the Premiership will not be the same­ without you. 50,000 plus Geordies at every home game­ will give you a massive advantage over Plymouth,­ Blackpool, etc.
