Free Match Attax With Retro Toffees Programme

The Newcastle United matchday programme has gone retro for the 2015/16 campaign, and the 13th issue will be on sale for Boxing Day's Barclays Premier League fixture against Everton (5.30pm 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 September 1984 and a Football League Division One tie between United and the Toffees.

The original cover features a action image of Magpies legend Peter Beardsley on the ball, and so we have picked a current United playmaker for the modern version, in Siem de Jong.

There is also a free A2 double-sided poster and a free promotional pack of Match Attax trading cards with each sold copy of the programme.

Inside, we speak exclusively to Dutch international forward de Jong about his recent return to the starting line-up, Christmas and his hopes for 2016.

Defender Kevin Mbabu dishes the dressing room dirt in Teammates, while we also hear from Rob Elliot, 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 our Boxing Day opponents Everton 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.
