Newcastle Attractions
Newcastle United Football Club
Often said about many cities, but football really is like a religion on Tyneside and witnessing 50,000 Magpies' supporters, all clad in the famous black and white home shirt, erupt when a goal is scored is an experience not to be missed. The stadium is located right in the heart of the city, and tours can be arranged on non-match days.
