A crowd of 52,275, cheered on the lads in a memorable evening to celebrate one of the best players to ever pull on a black and white shirt. The upcoming game against Leicester City is one of huge significance where teh current crop of players can write their name into Newcastle folklore.
A Wor Flags statement said: "On Tuesday night we are at St. James' Park for the first time in 2023 and we're asking you to #BringYourScarf. Led by Eddie Howe, we are dreaming of a first major trophy since 1969 and a return to European football.

"In fact, as a city, we are not just dreaming. This city is believing again. This is our first home quarter-final with a crowd since 2006 and our biggest game in years. Let's make home advantage count and show our belief in this group of players and management.
"We'd like to create a sea of black and white to welcome the lads onto the pitch and make it a special night under the lights. We all remember the incredible scenes of scarves twirling at Alan Shearer's testimonial and we want to take that as our inspiration on Tuesday night. Be part of something special. #BringYourScarf and most importantly; bring your voices. Howay the lads."
