St James' Park away guide

Newcastle United away end

The away allocation sits in Level 7 of the Leazes End, the upper tier high above the goal at the north end of the ground. The block runs across the steep top deck, one of the highest seating positions in English football. Newcastle offer around 3,000 away seats for league fixtures, the Premier League standard. It's a steep, long climb to the top tier, so give yourself plenty of time before kick-off.

St James' Park bag policy
