Neale Cooper: “It will be a big test for us and I’m sure Newcastle will send a strong team.

“I’m sure the boys are looking forward to it, they have loved playing in the Sunderland and Middlesbrough games, where the crowd has been really good.

“Sunderland brought 3,000 and there was a great atmosphere and banter between two rival teams.

“It is a big test but again it is more fitness level for the players.

“It will be a hard game, Newcastle had a wonderful season last year and I’m sure they will be going for it again this year.

“They have a great bunch of players and if they are the ones that are coming then it will be nice for our fans to see them.

“I just hope it is not the same result as the first time I was here.”
