NEWCASTLE UNITED'S final home game of the season has been rearranged - and fans should be able to attend St James' Park.
The Magpies will host Sheffield United on Wednesday, May 19, with the kick-off at 6pm.
The game will be screened live on Sky Sports, but it is hoped that around 10,000 supporters will be inside St James' Park.
The next stage of the Government's lockdown easing programme is due to take place on Monday, May 17.
As part of the Phase Three regulations, sporting events will be able to take place in front of 10,000 fans or 25 per cent of a stadium's capacity, whichever is the lower figure.
That would mean Newcastle being able to admit 10,000 supporters to the Sheffield United, with the Premier Leargue having today announced that the final two rounds of matches will be for home fans only, with away supporters not allowed to attend.
Newcastle will announce ticketing details for the game in due course.
