It's match day minus one in the Newcastle United camp over here in Austria and while there's a threat of rain tomorrow it's a sweltering 31 degrees near Salzburg. Fans are starting to make their way to some of the bigger cities in Austria, like Vienna, and then across to Saalfelden tomorrow for the 2.30pm kick off (local time).
This is far from a commercial trip for Newcastle after the plug was pulled on the Ohio Cup in the US in a tournament that would have been much more of a fanfare.
But nevertheless, wherever Newcastle go they attract good numbers and while there are only 1,000 tickets available at the Saalfelden Arena it should be full.
