Newcastle Squad Introduces Pre-Match Ritual: Singing ‘Blaydon Races’ in the Dressing Room!

In a move that has delighted fans and baffled opponents, Newcastle United’s players have embraced a new pre-match ritual: belting out the iconic Geordie anthem Blaydon Races before every game.

The tradition reportedly started by accident after a training session when Bruno Guimarães overheard Kieran Trippier humming the tune and asked, “What’s that song everyone sings at the stadium?”

Determined to teach him, Sean Longstaff led the squad in a spirited rendition. The result? A raucous singalong that even Joelinton and Sandro Tonali couldn’t resist joining.

“Joelinton’s Geordie accent is… unique,” joked Trippier in an interview.

“But he’s giving it his all, and that’s what matters. Hearing him shout ‘On the ninth of Joo-lye!’ is the highlight of my week.”

Manager Eddie Howe was initially skeptical about the idea but was won over after seeing the effect it had on team morale.

“If it brings the lads together and puts a smile on their faces, I’m all for it,” Howe said. “Although I might need earplugs if Dan Burn keeps hitting those high notes.”

Fans are loving the news, with many taking to social media to praise the squad’s commitment to embracing the club’s culture.

“Imagine the scenes when they win the league and do this on the balcony at St. James’!” one fan wrote on Twitter. Another joked, “Joelinton and Tonali to headline Newcastle Arena with their version of Blaydon Races soon.”

Insiders claim the singing has already become a good luck charm,

with the team convinced their performances have improved since introducing the ritual. “It’s not just a song; it’s passion, pride, and a connection to the fans,” said Callum Wilson.

Rumor has it that the next step is for the players to sing it on the pitch after a victory, much like Liverpool’s You’ll Never Walk Alone. Opponents,

consider yourselves warned: the Blaydon Races are coming to town, and Newcastle United are riding high!
