Newcastle United supporters are making the final touches to their plans to get behind their side in Sunday’s Carabao Cup Final with Manchester United - and ‘Wor Flags’ are more than ready to play their part.
The Magpies will be backed by over 33,000 supporters inside Wembley and tens of thousands of other that have made the trip to London and they hope to watch Eddie Howe’s side end the club’s long wait for a major trophy. The occasion will be marked by the Wor Flags group after they confirmed the club had given their backing to a display that will involved every United supporter inside Wembley on Sunday afternoon.
The group are also encouraging supporters to bring a scarf to evoke memories of the memorable night Alan Shearer brought down the curtain on his goal-laden career in an emotional meeting with Celtic.
As we await to see what Wor Flags have prepared for Sunday’s historic Wembley clash, we have a look at some memorable displays they have provided over the last 16 months.
