Transport
Public transport operators have warned that services today may not run on time and that customers should allow for extra time for their journeys.
Newcastle United have urged fans to walk to and from the Town Moor event site where possible.
Operator Nexus said: "Newcastle city centre and routes in and out of the city will be extremely busy with hundreds of thousands of people expected to turn up to celebrate.
"Anyone heading in and out of Newcastle on Saturday for work, leisure or to join this event, are advised to plan their journeys in advance and to expect queues and disruption.
"The impact of the event may be felt across the entire Metro and bus networks and it is unlikely services will keep to timetable."
The operator added that metro stations Ilford Road and West Jesmond will be exit only from 3pm, and that some other Metro station closures in Newcastle city centre may also be required.
Nexus advised that most bus routes will be diverted due to road closures in and around Newcastle city centre. This will mean buses will not be able to stop or depart from normal bus stops in these locations, or may not be able to access the city centre at all.
While Percy Street is closed to traffic for the bus parade, there will be a temporary closure of Eldon Square Bus station and Haymarket Bus station starting approximately at 4pm.
Bus operator Go North East also said some bus routes will be diverted and won’t be able to serve their usual stops.
It added: "Eldon Square and Haymarket Bus Stations will be closed between 3.00pm and 6.00pm. As on any Saturday, services will begin to run less frequently from 6.00pm, so please check timetables and plan accordingly.
"From 3pm to 6pm Eldon Square and Haymarket bus stations will be closed, meaning our services will be terminating at different locations to normal
"From 11:00am to 9.30pm the Great North Road will be closed from Barras bridge to Blue House Roundabout which means some of our services to and from the north of the city will be diverted."
Newcastle City Council leader Karen Kilgour said: “This will be one of the biggest events we have seen in the city, and the safety of everyone attending is paramount.
“With huge crowds expected, we want everyone to enjoy it and get there and home safely so there will be a number of road closures required, and we’re asking people to plan ahead and use public transport.
“I am sure it will be a fantastic and proud day for our city and I can’t wait to be there.”
