Amanda Staveley delivers on promise as NUFC confirm St James’ Park will host historic game

It hasn’t taken long for Amanda Staveley to deliver on another brilliant promise, with Newcastle United Women now set to play at St James’ Park for the very first time in a historic game on May 1st.

NUWFC currently sit top of Division One North after a 12-game winning streak and will face Barnsley on the final day of the 2021/22 season as we target promotion.

Speaking to The Athletic last month, Amanda Staveley said “we want them to play a match there” before the year is out, and it hasn’t taken long for her to deliver on that St James’ Park promise.

Staveley’s vision will soon become a reality with what will be a huge step forwards for the Women’s team, giving them a chance to raise their profile and perform on the biggest stage the city has to offer.

Since their arrival at the club, the owners have proven to have a clear vision for the future and are aiming to improve all aspects of the club rather than just how the men perform – especially with this recent announcement.

The match will take place at 2pm (gates opening at 12:30pm) on the 1st May with concessions being £3 for adults and U16’s go free.
