Newcastle season ticket holders have been offered an additional free half-season ticket. Season ticket holders can nominate a fellow supporter for a free ticket covering 10 home Premier League games, starting against Everton on December 28 and also featuring appointments with Liverpool, Chelsea and Tottenham. “After discussions between head coach Steve Bruce and managing director Lee Charnley, subject to eligibility criteria, the Magpies will gift a half-season ticket to qualifying nominees by existing season ticket holders on a first come, first served basis,” the club said. “The thousands of empty seats week-in-week-out at St James’ Park are a result supporters vowing to not return to the stadium until (owner Mike) Ashley sells our football club. “This is typical Ashley, who is hoping that yet again we will just forgive and forget, while applying his bargain bin business model to Newcastle United.”
