A young Newcastle side will face Northern League neighbours Consett on Thursday (kick-off 7pm).
Peter Beardsley's team will make the relatively short trip to Belle View for the friendly, with the line-up expected to be similar to the one which beat Heaton Stannington 8-1 last week.
The likes of Tom Heardman, Ryan McKinnon, Greg Olley, Liam Gibson and Dan Ward played that night.
Belle View boasts an all-weather artificial surface and Newcastle provided the opposition at the ground's opening match in November last year, winning 2-1 thanks to goals from Adam Campbell and Jamie Cobain.
United also faced Consett in the final match at their old Belle Vue Park in May 2013.
Admission is £6 for adults, £3 concessions and £1 under-16s.
