Sunday marks Newcastle United's first appearance in a domestic cup final since 1999 and it's safe to say that fans are making the most of the occasion.
One fan is flying from Singapore just to be here for the final, while another has sold his Vauxhall Corsa to fund his flight home from Australia. And now, a Newcastle United mad couple are cutting short their Caribbean holiday so they can watch Eddie Howe's Mags take to the field against Manchester United this Sunday.
Jim Cruddas and Linda Wright, both 50, from Washington, flew out to the Couples Negril resort in Jamaica on Monday February 13, for a two-week holiday at the all inclusive resort. However, when they booked "around six months ago," it wasn't even on their radar that Newcastle would have their biggest game so far this century as they lounged by the pool in the Caribbean sunshine.
