150,000 Newcastle Fans Line Streets To Celebrate End To Trophy Drought

Newcastle was a sea of black and white on Saturday as 150,000 fans lined the citys streets to celebrate the Magpies League Cup success with an open top bus parade.

A 2-1 victory over Liverpool on March 16 saw Newcastle win their first major trophy since 1969 and first domestic cup for 70 years.

Despite that lack of glory over the decades, the club have maintained one of the largest and most passionate fanbases in English football.

This is really incredible, absolutely mind-blowing, said manager Eddie Howe, whose face was blazoned upon a massive banner opposite the clubs St. James Park stadium.

Youve got people hanging from lampposts, out of buildings, I hope everyones all right.
