It seems like only yesterday that Newcastle United were last in action at St. James' Park - and the memorable scenes afterwards as The Magpies were presented with the Coca-Cola Championship trophy.

But Saturday's friendly against PSV Eindhoven will be the first game at Gallowgate for more than three months so you won't want to miss the matchday programme... your perfect companion for before and after the match.

There's news on all three of the club's signings so far this summer - including an exclusive interview with Sol Campbell, who explains why he chose Newcastle ahead of a host of other clubs - and why he's happy to let Shola Ameobi keep United's 23 shirt after wearing that number throughout his career.

The 84-page programme - which is still only £3 - also includes a chat with Kevin Nolan, who reveals how he is raring to go ahead of the Premier League season, and the views of Dutch keeper Tim Krul as he prepares to play a part against the giants from his homeland.

Coach Colin Calderwood pens his diary from United's pre-season trip to Ireland while there's everything you need to know about PSV and Chris Hughton's programme notes.

For our young fans, there's a fantastic Fabricio Coloccini poster while, in a brand new feature, BBC Radio Newcastle co-commentator and former Magpies defender John Anderson pens the first of his 'View from the Pressbox' columns.

And there's a tribute to Sir Bobby Robson, who managed both Newcastle and PSV.

The programme will be available from outlets around St. James' Park on matchday. And if you can't wait until then, you can get your hands on it NOW from the Club Shop at the stadium and at The Back Page bookstore on St. Andrews Street.

And if you can't get to Tyneside this weekend - or any other weekend - you can order the programme online and subscibe here.
