Our thanks to NUFC fan and St James' Park (Newcastle Central) MP for this great uplifting piece summing up what it means to us all, as NUFC head to Wembley

For those lucky enough to be there, the famous words of Sir Bobby will ring true in a new way – “clambering up stadium steps for the very first time… gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.” Being the MP for Newcastle Central means it is part of my job to stand up for football fans who are my constituents – and so many are! I have repeatedly called for independent governance of our game, and I continue to hold the Government to account as it fails to keep its promises – it’s clear that the Crouch review needs to be implemented fully as soon as possible.
Winning the cup would see this outpouring of enthusiasm continue in the city – a city that is already incredibly proud of what this group of players have achieved. When I offered my tribute to Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Parliament last year, I mentioned her handing the Magpies the FA Cup trophy in the 50s and hoped that King Charles III would follow her lead. I didn’t expect us to be in a cup final this soon afterwards, even before his coronation.
