The bulk of the season tickets will be ready for collection at both the Newcastle XI and Sunderland XI friendlies this coming Saturday and Tuesday.

The season ticket is a new design incorporating the Virgin Trains logo which will be used when we announce the Virgin Trains travel club discount for the start of the season. Tickets that are available to pick up from Quaker Retail at the Northern Echo Arena are:

• Existing & renewed 500 Club memberships
• Vice President memberships
• New 500 Club standing tickets
• 2016/17 standing tickets

A huge thank you goes out to Andrew Long who has designed and printed all the tickets, a first class volunteer.
