George Caulkin comments on what ticket refunds’ decision means for Newcastle United takeover

Newcastle United have confirmed that season-ticket holders and fans who have bought individual match tickets for the rest of the 2019-20 season can obtain a refund or equivalent account credit for the remaining games set to be played behind closed doors.

The St. James’ Park outfit are the last Premier League side to do so, and it took the efforts of the fans and Newcastle Member of Parliament Chi Onwurah for Mike Ashley to reverse the decision.

Five of Newcastle’s remaining nine league fixtures will take place in an empty St. James’ Park, with the first coming against Sheffield United on Sunday.
