On Wednesday 18th June, Year 5 and Year 6 had a fun-packed morning visiting St. James Park football stadium, the home of the 'great' Newcastle United!
We spent the morning on a full access tour of the stadium, learning lots about the ground and history of the football club. Did you know St. James Park is the third largest football stadium in the Premiership? It holds 52, 420 fans!
Our tour guides took us into the player’s area, where we visited the away changing room and the home changing room – what a difference! The away changing room was very dull and very, very basic. We were told this was a tactic to unsettle the opposition. The home changing room was very impressive!
The basic away team changing room!
The modern and comfortable home changing room!
We walked through the tunnel on to the pitch and got to try out the luxurious, heated seats that the players and manager sit on throughout the match! (Unless banned from the pitch side, like Alan Pardew!) They were very comfy!
