St James’ Park is made up of the Gallowgate End (the loudest home end), Leazes End (away fans), Milburn Stand, and East Stand.
Tickets
The safest way to buy tickets is directly through the club’s official website. Popular matches are often prioritized for season-ticket holders before general sale, so check availability as soon as your travel dates are set.
The 1862 folk song “Blaydon Races,” famously sung at the 1974 FA Cup Final, remains a fan favorite to this day, and supporters are affectionately known as the “Toon Army.”
