Anti-racism display planned at St James' Park with Newcastle United players not taking the knee

Newcastle United fan group Wor Flags will put on an anti-racism display at St James' Park on Sunday as the Magpies take on Manchester City. Teaming up with Show Racism The Red Card, the display will be on show in the East Stand moments before kick-off.

Wor Flags want to show their support in the fight against racism with Premier League players opting to only take the knee on certain occasions this season. Top flight captains agreed to scale back the gesture before the start of 2022/23 campaign.

Players took the knee ahead of the season-opening fixtures and will do so during the annual 'No Room for Racism' campaigns in October and March. Teams will also adopt the protest stance on Boxing Day, and for the final league match of the season, as well as the finals of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
