Wor Flags volunteers met their heroes as they were invited to meet the Newcastle United first team. Those who have helped organise the Magpies’ breathtaking pre-match displays this season got the chance to meet Eddie Howe and the players on Friday.
The sea of black-and-white before every home game has become the envy of rival fans since Wor Flags returned to action post-takeover. Stunned volunteers were pictured at the club’s Benton training ground alongside Howe, his coaching staff and the first team.
The fan-funded group also revealed that co-owner Jamie Reuben had made a sizable donation ahead of Monday’s home clash against Arsenal. Wor Flags tweeted: “Quite a surreal day for many of us, topped off with a donation from @jamiereuben. We can’t thank everyone @NUFC enough. Roll on Monday.”
