Krul & Colo Return For Newcastle United’s Toughest Test

12 years ago

Newcastle United head into by far their toughest pre-season test so far as they face Champions League bound Fenerbahce.

The friendly this Saturday 21st July at 6.30pm UK time is also due to be covered by ESPN, plus if you miss it you can watch highlights 2-3pm on Sunday.

If you happen to be in the area then get along (7.30pm local time) to the stadium of Austrian minor league side SC Ritzing, close to the Hungarian border (not In Hungary as the original declared venue was!).

Tim Krul and Fabricio Coloccini are expected to make their season reappearances and it could be just as well because Fenerbahce finished second in the Turkish league and could feature new signings Dirk Kuyt and Cisse & Ba’s international colleague Moussa Sow. Good news also with Papiss Cisse now back training after illness, though he’s unlikely to be risked at this stage.

If you already have ESPN then you will find it at Channel 417 on SKY and Channel 529 if you have Virgin Media, if you haven’t got access to ESPN then it might be an ideal time to sign up as they are offering a cracking deal at the moment and already our first two Premier League matches have been snapped up by them.

Also, if you have SKY or are thinking of getting it, see the great weekend deal at the end of this article.


The following six matches have already been confirmed as televised live, with no doubt many more to follow.

Spurs (H) – Saturday 18th August but moved to 5.30pm (ESPN)

Chelsea (A) – Saturday, 25th August but also moved to a 5.30pm kick-off (ESPN)

Everton (A) – Monday 17th September 8pm (was Sat 15th Sept) (SKY)
