Tomorrow night's UEFA Cup game at St James' Park will only go ahead thanks to the kindess of Newcastle United, who paid for thier Israeli opponents, Hapoel Bnei Sakhnin, to travel up the country from London after they couldn't afford the expenses!

They made it to Heathrow Airport on Monday, but had no idea how they were going to get to Tyneside.

The Evening Chronicle reported:

"In the end they appealed to United who agreed to cover the cost of a bus to bring the party to Newcastle".
