It’s a shame as Newcastle felt like a settled home for the event. The stadium is in a perfect location for city events such as this, and whether you stayed the night nearby, settled in a caravan park further out – which is what my family and friends did for the last couple of outings – or went by train on the day, it suited most travelling scenarios.

Stack is similar to a Boxpark or the long-dead Hatch in Manchester – a structure of shipping containers cobbled together to house various bars, pop-up eateries and a stage for gigs – and it has proved very popular with Newcastle supporters after matches. However, the local pubs and bars that used to make a killing are seeing those revenues drop-off sharply, so much so that a consortium of around 100 of them has threatened Newcastle United with legal action."
