Newcastle United - WhatCulture End-Of-Season Awards
10. Most Unsafe Scoreboard Award
Chris' Winner: The debut of the screen at St James' Park. When Newcastle erected an electronic screen at St James' Park for the first time ahead of hosting the Rugby World Cup later this year, they didn't anticipate the fact that wind might blow it off... Failing to secure it in place, Newcastle's 1-0 victory over Leicester City was delayed by an hour as the screen was bolted to the side of the stand. Absolutely bizarre. Ross' Winner: The debut of the screen at St James' Park. Only Newcastle United could manage a cock-up on such an epic scale. See above.
