Newcastle United have released details on the running order for the Town Moor parade on Saturday night.
The club are set to bring back legends from the past to share the celebrations before the current crop of stars will enter the stage and lift the Carabao Cup for the first time on home soil. The even will also feature a “spectacular surprise” from club sponsors Sela.
As reported yesterday by Chronicle Live fans will be able to arrive on the Town Moor from 1.30pm and big screens will display the trophy parade from St James’ Park to the event venue for those who may not be able to make the walk.
A United statement read: “Newcastle United’s first team players and staff will parade the Carabao Cup trophy from an open-top bus. The parade convoy will depart from St. James’ Park at approximately 4:30pm on Saturday before travelling past STACK and east along Gallowgate.
“The convoy will turn left onto Percy Street, proceed past Haymarket and travel onto the Great North Road (B1318), before arriving at the event site at approximately 5pm.
“The safety of all attendees is of paramount importance. Spectators are asked to follow all instructions to ensure the safe passage of the vehicles, and to avoid climbing any structures or street furniture to avoid both injury and damage to infrastructure.”
Newcastle went on to say: “The parade will end at the site of a special Carabao Cup Winners event held by Newcastle United and organised in collaboration with city partners.
“The event will be set around a large main stage on the Town Moor, adjacent to the Great North Road. Supporters were previously asked to register their interest in attending, and those who did so will be issued a ticket via email ahead of the event.
“Stewards in high-visibility clothing will be in attendance to provide event support.”
