Newcastle United supporters appear satisfied with how the club has distributed Carabao Cup final tickets. World War III was expected on social media once news broke about how the highly-coveted tickets will be sold.
Buying an away ticket has proven difficult for many supporters since the Saudi-backed takeover was completed. Fans who had turned their backs on Newcastle in an attempt to force Mike Ashley out are now rejuvenated with their football club.
Reaching a first cup final since 1999 also makes the Wembley showdown on February 26 one of the most sought-after occasions in the Magpies’ history. Rants about loyalty points and potential ballots were expected as soon as an announcement was made but, surprisingly, fans seemed relatively content with the news.
