The Back Page shop part of Newcastle Geordie culture for the last 3 decades. Everything Football & local gifts & souvenirs. Also 8 years in the Metrocentre.
Breaking News; The Back Page, Newcastle which celebrates its 16th Birthday in November would like to announce that after stocking every football book published, will not be selling Michael Owens latest book. This is the first book we have ever totally refused to stock.
Happy 19th Birthday to a proud Geordie Business, The Back Page. 🎂 ⚽️🎂⚽️🎂⚽️🎂⚽️🎂 Born this day in 2003. Thanks to all of our fantastic customers, friends & business associates. We couldn’t have done it without you. x

Get rid of VAR. The moment contact is made with Hall. He is well inside the box. His standing foot is the issue not his trailing foot. It doesn’t matter where the Brentford player is. He’s inside the box.
After 13 weeks being closed, we are so pleased to announce that both of our shops will reopen tomorrow. Newcastle shop 9-5.30pm & Metrocentre 10am - 7pm. Plenty of new stock & bargains to be had.
Happy 20th Birthday to ‘The Back Page.’ Our doors opened 20 years ago today. Thanks to all who’ve visited & the many friends we’ve made. Here’s to the next 20. 🎂 🥳🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤
7.30am Updated. Coach 2 departed. Now down to last…. Nobody left. Thanks to all our travellers for their cooperation & superb patience. In the end didn’t need any help outside of our Travel family, but I’m sure plenty help would be on the way later. HWTL.
Hi Rob mate
@7RobLee
we don't wanna sound like grasses but your 2 lads haven't tidied their bedrooms or done their homework so if you could ground them this weekend mate and not let them out of the house then that would be great 👍 cheers in advance !! 😀
Match of the Day is sorry to have to bring you the news that after 17 yrs, The Back Shop Newcastle has had to close its doors. Thanks to all customers for their support, we hope you and your families are all safe and well. We hope to return after the situation is over.
Always in our thoughts, Gary Speed Newcastle United Legend who helped us reach Wembley 3 times in 3 years in the FA Cup. A gentleman & a bloody good footballer who sadly died this day in 2011. Thoughts with his friends & family.
RIP Tommy Cassidy. A Newcastle United man through & through. A Belfast lad who arrived in Newcastle in 1970 & played for 10 years & made his home here. A friend of the shop. Love & thoughts to Rosemary, family & friends. 🖤🤍⚽️🖤🤍⚽️
Forever in our thoughts. Two very loyal Newcastle United supporters who tragically lost their lives following the team they loved. Liam a Back Page steward on our buses & John who everyone knew & saw wherever the Magpies were playing. Thoughts with their friends & families.🖤🤍⚽️
Today is the 160th anniversary of the Blaydon Races. The song itself is the oldest football song in existence. From next year we should make it Official Geordie Day.
Legend in the house! Toon star

@No1shaygiven
at saying "half time" more than he did in 13 seconds on MOTD you win a prize from our shop !! 😬😬😀😂
Amazing coincidence, just had a lady in “have you anything on Jimmy Scoular”,as she said it the dvd audio playing mentioned “jimmy lifting the cup”, she turned round with a glint in her eye, “that’s my grandfather”. Perfect timing!! “Thanks for keeping it all alive” she said. ❤️
Such sad news this morning of the passing of 1966 World Cup winner a true football man and total gentleman Jack Charlton. All our love and thoughts go to his family and friends from the whole team here at the Back Page x
Congratulations and all the best luck in the world for our new Manager at Newcastle United, Eddie Howe. An excellent appointment. Our new future starts today.
6.30am Update. 24 Newcastle fans now needing a lift down to Leicester from 7am onwards from SJP. We have secured 2 new coaches and made other arrangements for the majority of fans. Thanks for your support in spreading the word.
As a very good friend and regular visitor to our Newcastle store can we please make this happen tomorrow 10th minute at Anfield. Players such as John Tudor are woven into the fabric history of our great club. Anyone able to help link this to

All the best to Geordie Chris Dobey against Michael Van Gerwen tonight in the World Darts Championship Q/F. Howay ‘Hollywood’ the Geordie Nation is behind you.
If you went to the match yesterday and entered the ground without a flag, then you should leave the ground empty handed too. Please return the
@FlagsLeazes
the lads work hard for this with supporters donations. We are open from 11am-5pm today, amnesty, please drop them in to us👍
RIP John Motson. Such a sad loss of a Football Great. He made his big break in our infamous FA Cup humiliation at Hereford. So sad that he won’t be around to see us hopefully win on Sunday.
Tonight on Sky Max at 10pm is the return of old favourite Fantasy Football with Matt Lucas & Elis James. We here at The Back Page supplied the memorabilia & souvenirs for the backdrop & studio. Let’s hope it does it’s fabulous forerunner justice.
The Back Page are excited to announce that we will be opening in Crammy over the next few weeks. Manor Walks Shopping Centre, Cramlington. Fancy a job? Send Cv’s to; thebackpagenewcastle

Not in 18 years have we had anything like this! Through no fault of our own we’ve been let down. We call upon the Geordie nation to help fellow fans. Have you got a space in your car? On your coach? Please help these fans get to LCFC. About 75 to help. Let’s get them all there.
“Bertie Mee (Bobby Lee) said to Joe Harvey, Have you heard of the North Bank Highbury? No said Joe I don’t think so but I’ve heard of the Leazes Aggro!” Howay the Lads!
At last Matchday looms… We are welcoming back friends. All fellow Geordies, Hammers (The real Cockneys), Holidaymakers & Neutrals. Doors open 10am-2pm then 4pm-5pm. A fully stocked shop & a big Back Page welcome awaits. See you tomorrow.
RIP Steve Black. We are saddened and shocked to hear of the passing of legendary Geordie Steve Black. The sports psychologist, the mentor to Jonny Wilkinson was a good friend of The Back Page. We hosted his book launch & remained friends. A lovely friendly genuine man.
A Bury fan for over 70 years will be seeing our football club potentially disappear on Friday, shame on you Day, Dale and
@EFL
for allowing both of these crooks to take over in the first place.
