Newcastle have been handed more than 5,000 tickets for Coventry on Wednesday night and they are on general sale now from the Newcastle box office.

Incredibly, with around 6,000 Toon fans heading to Barnsley on Saturday, it puts Premiership clubs in the shade.

Only 3,000 Arsenal fans made the trip to Man City for the QUARTER FINAL of the League Cup!

Chris Hughton: “We have two big games and we will be taking almost 10,000 to them both.

“That is very special for the players.

“It is well known we have probably the best fans in the country.”
