Send Newcastle United players a personalised message ahead of Carabao Cup final

Here is your chance to send a personalised message to Newcastle United players ahead of the Carabao Cup final. No matter where you are in the world, use our widget below to show your support for Eddie Howe and Co before the Wembley showdown.

So far, ChronicleLive readers as far away as Antigua, Sweden or Malta have all sent their regards to Newcastle players and staff. The Magpies travel to London this weekend aiming to end their 68-year curse without a domestic trophy.

Few Toon supporters can remember Jimmy Scoular lifting the FA Cup after a 3-1 win over Manchester City. Jackie Milburn, Bobby Mitchell and George Hannah proved the hero that day to clinch the trophy for the third time in five years.

Another Manchester club, United, await at the iconic stadium, the first time Newcastle have played there on merit. Rafa Benitez took two Magpies sides to Wembley when Tottenham Hotspur temporarily made the venue their home, failing to score on both occasions.

But Newcastle have not reached the national stadium in a cup competition since April 2000, when Chelsea won 2-1 at the ground in the FA Cup semi-final. A whole generation of fans have never witnessed their side in a cup final, a feat last achieved one year earlier - also against Man United - in 1999.

The whole of Tyneside and beyond are behind Howe and his team as they bid to end the trophy drought. Whether you will be inside the ground or not, post your good luck message to help roar Newcastle on. Howay the lads!
