What to Expect

Scan in at your turnstile and get stuck in, our match days are packed with family-friendly activities on and off the pitch. Food, drinks, and merch are waiting for you on the South end of the Tyne & Wear stand. Please note: the Mick Thornton Suite isn’t open for this fixture.

Food & Drink

Tuck into pies, sausage rolls, chips, and hot dogs from the catering outlets along the concourse, or grab a cheese toastie or pizza slice at the main reception. Fancy something sweet? Head to the Fan Zone for coffee, hot chocolate, crepes, and more

Fancy a pint? Grab a drink from the concourse - alcoholic or soft, it’s your call. Thanks to the Drinking in the Bowl pilot, you can enjoy your pint right at your seat

Merchandise

At this fixture merchandise is only available at the south end of the Tyne & Wear stand as we are not using the Mick Thornton Suite.

Accessibility: Wheelchair users can access all areas via the lift down the corridor towards the Sports Hall. Stewards will assist.

Meet Monty & Maggie, get your face painted, or dive into the craft zone to make a friendship bracelet. Don’t forget your Panini sticker swaps - Room 9 on the Tyne & Wear Stand concourse is the place for trading and crafts this match day.
