‘This is a call to arms’- Newcastle United co-owner sends Brighton warning ahead of tonight

Newcastle United co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi has mobilised Toon fans ahead of Thursday’s Brighton game.

All eyes are on United tonight as they take on European rivals Brighton. Many see the game as a must win if the club wants to enjoy Champions League football next season.

With three matches left, the pressure is on. But supporters are motivated to help the players in any way they can and none more so than Ghodoussi.

Taking to Twitter, he said: ‘This is a call to arms for all of you attending the game at St James’ Park tomorrow night.

‘We need your voices to be loud and your scarves held high.

‘Roar like lions- you are the 12th man and your team needs you!’

But the fun doesn’t stop there. To get supporters in early to create an atmosphere like none other, St James’ Park are offering free pints.

Yes, you read that right.

Between 5:30pm-6pm at the premium bars and 6pm-6:30pm at the general admission kiosks there will be a ‘buy one get one free’ deal on all hot and cold drinks.

The incentive is there, so make sure you get down early to get behind the lads.

Kick-off is at 7:30pm.
