Newcastle United supporters’ group Wor Flags kicked off the new season with a rousing display against Nottingham Forest. The group delivered a message of hope and of a club reborn for the new Premier League campaign.
As usual, before kick-off a giant banner was unveiled in the Gallowgate, this time with the words ‘it’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life for NUFC and we’re feeling goods,’ printed on it.
With the song - sung by Nina Simon - played around the stadium as the flag was flown and the players entered the pitch, it created an atmosphere that few clubs will be able to rival.
