Newcastle United fans set the tone perfectly with 14-word St James’ Park message v Leicester City

Wor Flags displays have been a staple of the matchday experience at St James’ Park all season, taking place during every home match as well as the Carabao Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

And ahead of the crucial match at home to Leicester, a special display involving the whole stadium was put together in front of the Sky Sports cameras.

As flags waved in the Gallowgate, Leazes and Milburn Stands, a surfer banner the height and width of the East Stand was unveiled, illustrating Eddie Howe and members of the 2022-23 Newcastle squad along with the message: “Hard work pays off. Dreams come true. Bad times don’t last. But legends do.”

Newcastle need just a point from their final two games to secure Champions League football for the first time in over 20 years.
