Pick Up A Retro Programme On Saturday

The Newcastle United matchday programme has gone retro for the 2015/16 campaign, and the 16th issue will be on sale for Saturday's Barclays Premier League fixture against West Bromwich Albion (3pm kick-off).
Each week, a previous issue from the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s will be given a modern twist, with this weekend's award-winning publication taking its inspiration from October 1990 and a Division Two clash between United and the Baggies.
The original cover features an action image set into a black template which features sections of the Club badge. And so on Saturday, the cover is identical apart from the image, which is of new arrival Seydou Doumbia.
Inside, we speak to the Ivory Coast deadline day arrival as he settles into life on Tyneside following a loan switch from AS Roma.
Goalkeeper Tim Krul spills the beans from inside the dressing room in Teammates, while we also hear from Ayoze Perez, young Magpie Lewis Gibson, 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 West Brom 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.
