[Saba Sports News] According to British media reports, Newcastle is expecting over 200,000 fans to come to the city on Saturday to celebrate the club’s League Cup victory. Previously, Newcastle defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the League Cup final, claiming the club’s first domestic trophy in 70 years. On Saturday, Newcastle will host a large-scale celebration. Eddie Howe and his team will depart from St. James’ Park at 4:30 PM on a black and white bus. They will pass through the city center and arrive at Town Moor park, where an outdoor event will take place, featuring Alan Shearer and Les Ferdinand, along with live music and a replay of the League Cup final. The Newcastle players will take the stage around 6:30 PM to showcase the trophy, and the party will conclude with a performance sponsored by the club’s kit sponsor, Sela. Newcastle City Council leader Karen Kilgour commented, “This will be one of the grandest events we have seen in this city. Several roads will be closed, so please plan your travel in advance.”
