AliousNewcastle United is gearing up to commemorate their Carabao Cup triumph with a special gathering scheduled for Saturday, March 29, on the Town Moor.
The club’s preparations are falling into place, and supporters are being urged to express their interest in attending this event, which will require tickets obtainable solely through the club’s official website.
Many fans had envisioned a grand open-top bus parade winding through the city streets, reminiscent of the celebration following Kevin Keegan’s team securing Premier League promotion in 1993, when vast crowds—hundreds of thousands strong—turned out to cheer their idols.
However, no specific capacity has been disclosed for the upcoming Town Moor event, though it appears probable that attendance will be capped, limiting the number of participants.
Since the team’s victory against Liverpool at Wembley last Sunday, discussions have been underway involving Newcastle United, Northumbria Police, and Newcastle City Council. Safety and logistical challenges have understandably been at the forefront of these talks.
Adding complexity to the planning is a concurrent fixture: Sunderland will face Millwall at the Stadium of Light on the same day, with kickoff set for 3pm.
This Championship match will draw a significant contingent of Millwall supporters to the North East, many of whom are expected to travel by train, arriving at Newcastle Central Station from London on Saturday morning before heading to Wearside via Metro or local rail services.
This influx will demand a police presence around the station and likely influenced the feasibility assessment of a city-wide parade.
While Millwall fans carry a long-standing reputation for rowdiness, their club ranked only ninth in football-related arrests during the 2023-24 season, tempering some of the historical concern.
