Newcastle United have launched a new cup scheme for season ticket holders to help fans in the event that the Magpies reach another major domestic final.
Last season some season ticket holders missed out on a Wembley ticket for the Carabao Cup final showpiece after an attendance tally was used by the ticket office to decide who got tickets. But Newcastle have listened to fans and underlined their fan engagement policy.
With season ticket information issued today, fans can opt in to a cup scheme that will ensure there would be no disappointment if Newcastle make it back to Wembley in 2024.
