Newcastle United financially back Wor Flags to ensure mega Wembley display

Newcastle United's owners have offered financial support to fans group Wor Flags to ensure a massive display will go ahead before the League Cup Final against Manchester United.

Toon supporters had been wondering whether Wor Flags would be able to host a display in the moments before kick-off but thanks to the club, their attendance has been confirmed.

Taking to social media, a statement from Wor Flags read: "We can confirm there will be a display at Wembley Stadium in the Newcastle end at the League Cup Final. The display will involve every single Newcastle supporter in attendance.

"Due to the short turnaround between the second leg of the Semi-Final and the Final itself, fundraising for the main part of the display would have been extremely difficult in order to place the order in time, so we are absolutely delighted that Newcastle United have agreed to provide significant funding towards the display.

"When the lads walk out at Wembley, they deserve to be met with the fantastic sight they often get at St James' Park, and we are thrilled that Newcastle United are helping to make it a reality.

"We will be providing our own flags and banners to add to the display which should make it an unbelievable sight. If you are able to donate towards the Wembley display, please do.

"Our sincere thanks go to Newcastle United for their support with this. It highlights perfectly the developing relationship between fans and the club. Tell me ma, we're going to Wembley."

The news has been celebrated by Newcastle fans with plenty taking to Twitter to praise the club for the gesture, with one fan writing: "[This is] unreal from the club, it’s going to be a special day." Another tweet read: "Absolutely brilliant from the club. Nerves and excitement really starting to kick in now for February 26."
