Newcastle will now travel to Wembley where they will play either Manchester United or Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, February 26.
Following the final whistle, thousands of Geordies sang 'Tell me ma, me ma. I won't be home for tea, we're going to Wembley' as they exited the turnstiles. Many of the fans had already booked their hotels in London.
Brothers Bernie Brown, 70, from Chopwell, Gateshead, and Norman Brown, 60, from Leam Lane, Gateshead, were thrilled that their team had reached Wembley.
Bernie, who was at the match when Newcastle won the Fairs Cup in 1969, said: "It was excellent. I was worried beforehand that it could go either way. The final will be hard, I've got everything crossed. Norman added: "We live in hope!"
Sarah Hall, 31, from Hebburn, South Tyneside, said: "I'm absolutely buzzing, it was fantastic. I already had my hotel booked and the train tickets! If we get Manchester United in the final, we are above them in the table. We have got as good of a chance of winning as they do."
Andrew Chaytor, 54, from Hunwick, County Durham, attended the match with his 16-year-old son Jack. He said: "It's absolutely fantastic. Everybody has smiles on their faces, it's lovely. I'm just taking it all in!
"I think we have got as good a chance in the final. The crowd will be fanatical on the day. Who would have thought we would be in at Wembley in the first proper season since the takeover. I thought this would take years!"
Aaron Nickerson, 60, from Lobley Hill, Gateshead, said: "I'm chuffed to bits! We have had our hotels booked for weeks, I've got mine booked!"
Ian Callender, 59, from South Shields, South Tyneside, added: "Going to Wembley is amazing. I didn't think we would get that this season so it's a big bonus. I'm really looking forward to it!"
Manchester United already have an advantage after scoring three times at the City Ground last Wednesday. The two teams will play the second leg at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
The last time the toon reached the final of a cup competition was more than 20 years ago. They were beaten 2-0 by Manchester United in the final of the FA Cup in 1999.
The last time Newcastle reached the league cup final was in 1976. They finished runners up after being beaten 2-1 by Manchester City.
During the lead up to the game, Schak, a DJ from North Shields, North Tyneside, performed a set in the Gallowgate East Corner.
Actor Idris Elba was spotted sitting in front of the club's owners in the crowd.
