The League Two side will earn 45% of the gate receipts for next week’s game on Tyneside after Newcastle agreed to play the game at home to help the 1988 FA Cup winners.

Stacey said: “Thank you to supporters from the likes of Newcastle, Brighton, Arsenal, Colchester and Southampton who have all rallied round. Football really is, at its core, one huge extended family.”
