Newcastle ‘crazy scenes’ emerge from Carabao Cup parade
Newcastle took to the streets to celebrate their Carabao Cup win over Liverpool with an open-top bus parade and some “crazy scenes” have emerged.
Having won their first major trophy in 70 years, 150,000 fans were expected to attend the historic moment.
The open-top bus left St James’ Park before heading to the Town Moor, where a stage was set for the Newcastle players to show off the trophy, with special guests including Ant and Dec in attendance.
During the parade however, footage emerged showing some “crazy scenes” whilst the Magpies’ bus trawled through the city.
Newcastle fans turn out in their numbers to celebrate historic victory
With a number of their cup-winning side now linked with an exit from St James’ Park, the opportunity to celebrate with those players was truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment for fans of the club.
Alexander Isak has been linked with a switch to Barcelona, whilst Arsenal are currently monitoring Bruno Guimaraes.

Eddie Howe, meanwhile, has been touted to take over from Thomas Tuchel as England manager following next year’s World Cup.
However, none of that will matter to Newcastle fans very much at the moment, as Lee Ryder, The Chronicle’s chief Magpies writer posted images on X of the parade, showcasing the brilliant chaos of the moment.
Newcastle’s new stadium plans necessary for long-term success
Football Insider Verdict
Newcastle are leaning towards building a new home, as opposed to expanding St James’ Park, but their plans will not affect the ground’s status as a host stadium during Euro 2028.
Whilst a new stadium is always exciting news, there will be some hesitations as to whether moving to a new ground may inhibit the atmosphere of the current ground.
However, with the club looking to progress up the standings of English, and European football, increasing matchday revenue is a necessary evil to contend with.
Newcastle currently rank eighth in the Premier League for matchday revenue, raking in an average of £1.6million per match, in comparison to the highest earners, Arsenal, who yield an average of £5.1million [BBC Sport].
Given the club’s issues with profit and sustainability rules (PSR), the club will be keen to add more revenue to their accounts, in order to sustain the club long-term.
