I have a simple request of the Newcastle fans. It’s nothing complicated, I’d just like it if we could actually sing the Blaydon Races properly.

The 150th anniversary celebrations of ‘The Blaydon Races’ reach a crescendo this weekend with a programme of events across Tyneside.

Geordie Ridley’s ‘Blaydon Races’ has become synonymous with Newcastle United.

Columnist Neil Dick throws down the gauntlet to United fans, sing it bloody properly!
