Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston has confirmed he has met with the Premier League to discuss the issue of governance following a series of questions from Newcastle Central MP Chi Onwurah about Newcastle United’s takeover saga.
Nigel Huddleston said: “The Secretary of State and I have recently met with the Premier League and EFL to discuss the future of the national game, including governance, and will continue to work with them as the review progresses.”
Season ticket prices
Newcastle United have frozen season ticket prices at the same rate of the 2019/20 season. Fans who renew their season ticket annually have until Friday, July 23 to guarantee their existing seat, before a general sale period opens on Monday, July 26.
Newcastle United chiefs said: “Capacity crowds are expected to return to football stadiums for the first time since March 2020, with Covid-19 restrictions set to be eased across the country from July 19. The club has frozen season ticket prices at the same rates as the 2019/20 season, while the discounted 18-21 age group category has been expanded to include Category 2 seating. Supporters with account credit from the 2019/20 season can use this as part payment. The option to do so will be offered at the checkout. Supporters on long-term price-freeze deals do not need to take further action.”
