4,282 Geordies Away at Cardiff tonight
Newcastle asked for 10,000 tickets, Cardiff rearanged the home end and moved home fans out to accommodate the Newcastle fans.
Cardiff eventually gave them 6,000 tickets.
Four weeks ago Newcastle put them on sale, they never sold out to their season ticket holders (50,000 average at home) and members,so Newcastle put them on general/ open sale and eventually brought 4,350 fans.
Over the years Sunderland and Sheffield Wednesday have brought 10,000 fans to Cardiff.
Well done to the Geordies for coming down on a Friday/Bank Holiday weekend and travelling nearly a 700 mile rd trip
