It's just a matter of days until Newcastle United begin their Premier League campaign, but Eddie Howe's men aren't the only Geordies gearing up for a big return on Saturday.
Some 284 miles away from St. James' Park, Hanwell Town kick off their Southern Premier Divison campaign against Truro City at the same time as the Magpies play against Nottingham Forest at St. James' Park.

From the club's history to visits from Newcastle fans and popular club merchandise, there are many reasons for football fans on Tyneside to feel connected to the London club.
Here are the 10 essential things to know about Hanwell Town going into the 2022/23 football season.
