Riding camels in the Jeddah desert may be a little different to jumping on rollercoasters at Disney World, but Newcastle United are not the only side down at the bottom who have travelled across the globe to build team spirit over the years.
West Brom jetted off to Florida in 2005 after a similarly difficult start to the season. In fact, the Baggies, like Newcastle, also picked up just one victory from their opening 20 league fixtures.
However, remarkably, upon returning from the US, Bryan Robson's side won three of their next four games before going on to stay up on the final day of the campaign.
