Free Team Poster With Saturday's Retro Programme
Written by Newcastle Utd
The fifth issue of United's retro matchday programme will be available to purchase on Saturday
By Anthony Marshall - Newcastle United Managing Editor
The Newcastle United matchday programme has gone retro for the 2015/16 campaign, and the fifth issue will be on sale for Saturday's Barclays Premier League fixture against Watford (3pm kick-off).
Each week, a previous issue from the 1960s, 70s, 80s or 90s will be given a modern twist, with this weekend's award-winning publication taking its inspiration from November 1980 and a Football League Division Two clash between United and the Hornets.
The original cover, in black with white lettering and a blue trim, also includes an action shot from a recent game. So Saturday's 100-page issue features Vurnon Anita in a similar pose.
There is also a free A2 double-sided poster with each sold copy of the programme - one side of which is of the 2015/16 squad photo.
Inside, we speak exclusively to Dutch midfielder Anita about nailing down a place in the team and returning to the international scene.
Gabriel Obertan dishes the dressing room dirt in Teammates, while we also hear from former Watford man Mike Williamson, captain Fabricio Coloccini and head coach Steve McClaren.
That is a just a snippet of what is inside this week's issue, with an extensive look at Saturday's opponents Watford and four pages of quizzes and puzzles for our younger fans also included.
The official matchday programme will be available to purchase around St. James' Park and in the club store at the stadium on Saturday, priced at just £3 for 100 pages.
For supporters who are unable to make it to Tyneside for matchday, a digital version of the programme is available to download on all platforms, featuring everything included in the physical publication.
It can be purchased on a one-off basis for £2.99 per edition, or if you chose to subscribe for the whole season then there is a huge 40 per cent saving to be made, with a 12 month subscription costing just £34.99.
