Clock running on whether extra home tickets will be made available for Newcastle v Barnsley

Fair to say that pretty much all United fans were looking at Newcastle v Barnsley as simply a day of celebration.

A noon kick-off on Sunday 7 May perfect timing for hopefully a win to round off the season, a lap of honour for the promotion heroes, then a hard day and night of celebration in the fine public houses of our fair city.

All home tickets were quickly sold out in anticipation of the above but recently the team have been showing indications of wanting to do it the hard way.

Please no, we just want that Sunday to be a day to look forward to, not to have anything resting on it.

Barnsley have now released details of their away ticket allocation for that final match of the season and they start selling the tickets tomorrow (Thursday 20 April).

They have revealed that their initial allocation is 1,706 tickets, with the possibility of more depending on how quickly the initial supply goes.

Clearly a cut-off date must have been agreed between the two clubs and then a decision will be made as to whether the extra tickets will be made available to Newcastle fans, which would be sure to be instantly snapped up.

That initial 1,706 allocation is around 1,500 under the maximum away fans allowed, though with the need for segregation it would remain to be seen how many would potentially be made available to home fans.
