Ever since Newcastle United qualified for the Carabao Cup Final, anyone without the chance of getting a ticket has started working out their plans for the big weekend.
Preparation for the final has been far from ideal with injuries and performances meaning Eddie Howe’s side will go into another final without a full strength squad, but that won’t stop fans from heading to pubs, bars and venues across the city to enjoy the spectacle of Newcastle United at a cup final at Wembley Stadium.
These are all the sites offering fan zone experiences across the city for the final, which takes place on the afternoon of Sunday, March 16.
