Fixture Change

Last updated : 01 August 2006 By Footy Mad - Editor



Newcastle United's UEFA Cup second qualifying round first-leg match against Latvian side FK Ventspils a week on Thursday has been switched to the Skonto Stadium, Riga.

The venue change is because Ventspils' ground has a capacity of only 3,000 and United are seen as a big attraction.

The match will kick off at 8.50pm local time (6.50pm GMT) with the return a fortnight later at St James' Park.
