00:00The stage is set for Newcastle United's 2025 Carabao Cup winners celebrations on the Town Mall.
00:07As you can see I'm here outside St James' Park where the open top bus is ready. There's actually
00:14two, there's another one down there as well ready for Newcastle United's players and staff who will
00:19be journeying down to the Town Mall. I've just actually walked the reverse of the bus route from
00:24the Town Mall down Gallagher, Percy Street and then up Great North Road and there's a real buzz
00:31around town at the moment. It's not the buzz of a match day as such, it's the buzz of success if
00:36you like which has been so bereft of the city of Newcastle for so long in terms of its football
00:42team and it's just great to see. It's about one o'clock at the moment so the Town Mall will be
00:47opening very shortly and yeah it's been great to see just everyone coming together even before the
00:55events even started just really coming together in town and having a good time ready for the
01:03celebrations on the Town Mall later. So yeah about 4.30 this bus will be leaving St James' Park which
01:10is as you can see in the background there and will be making its way down to the Town Mall,
01:15take about half an hour and then the Newcastle players will be on stage from about 25 to 7 this
01:24evening as you can see by my hair very windy here in Newcastle today and the Town Mall anyone who's
01:29been down before will know it's a particularly windy place so wrap up warm, bring a hat if you've
01:35got daft hair like me and most importantly have a good time because I'm sure everyone will this
01:41afternoon and yeah I'll finish up this video head down to the Town Mall and do a bit of coverage for
01:48the Shields Gazette so yeah see what we've got to come if I don't get blown away later today.
