Since The Back Page Shop launched Back Page Travel in 2004, over 14,000 members have travelled on more than 1,000 luxury coaches to watch their beloved Newcastle United play in more than 325 League, Cup and Friendly matches all over the UK. Back Page Travel has also flown Geordies to matches abroad on Chartered flights with overnight stays in hotels, when the team have played in Europe.

The 2021/22 season will (Covid 19 permitting) be our 18th consecutive year for organising and arranging transport for the loyalist football supporters in world football. We are proud of our reputation and endeavour to continue to deliver a first class professional service which is reliable, punctual and friendly. As soon as supporters are allowed to travel to away matches we will endeavour to make sure that we are ready to organise and provide safe travel meeting government guidelines and obeying all rules which are introduced.

New members are very welcome to join our ever growing existing lifetime members. Please feel free to call into our Newcastle shop Monday to Saturday 9pm-5pm. A one off charge of £3 is payable on filling out a simple application form, which contains your basic information.

Rules & Various Information to remember;

To guarantee a place on our coaches make sure that you book your seat before our cut off point which is 10 days before the actual match takes place. For example if the match is on Saturday 11th September you will have until 5pm on Wednesday 1st September to guarantee a seat. We do however take bookings after this point but it all depends on if we have any seats left. Always ask right up until the day of the match, as we may have some seats remaining or even cancellations.

Alcohol is forbidden on all football coaches travelling too & from a football match. However although it is illegal to carry alcohol on coaches, it is okay to have a drink at the services (Where sold) when we make our stop. This is something we welcome, however we must remind you that it is illegal to take any alcohol back on to our coaches. If you turn up with alcohol then you will not be able to travel and will not qualify for a refund.

We also aim to get you to the official drop off point at the stadium within the allowed window of 2 hours and 1 hour before the kick-off. For example a 3pm kick-off would have us arriving when possible between 1pm and 2pm. On some occasions where we have made good time and the local authorities allow we are allowed to arrive at the official drop off point much earlier. In an ideal situation traffic and local police permitting we prefer to drop all passengers off 2 hours before the match.

Over the past decade we have built up an excellent relationship with Northumbria Police who actually recommend our company to many first time travellers. We have also built up a very good reputation with the numerous Police forces around the country which sometimes means we get to park up earlier when we've made good time.

Whichever seat you sit in when travelling to the match is the seat you will sit in on the return journey. This means that you can bring your own food & drink, games etc and keep them safe on the bus.

On most Journeys there is a stop off on the way to the match, but afterwards its usually straight home depending on the distance.
