It’s all happening under the SJP lights on Tuesday! Night matches always breeds a very special and unique atmosphere at St James Park.
Apart from the football and a rare appearance in the Carabao EFL Cup against the 2004 winners, will be Trick and Treat in the Junior Grecian Zone.
So don’t get alarmed if you run into a macabre looking youngster blending red and white with something akin to the Rocky Horror Show. Cobwebs and all. But JGs please leave your pumpkins at home. Still, an opportunity to find your old vinyl copies of the Monster Mash and Time Warp to get in the mood! The match is bound to be a “Thriller!” FREE scary face painting, FREE fancy dress and FREE Goody Bags (while supplies last).
SJP Fan Display
The members of the Big Bank hope to rival, if not better, the Liverpool display and have busy creating something stadium wide.
So if you find something attached to your seat or are asked to help lift or carry something please join in! Let's help them and make it an atmospheric Halloween cauldron at SJP.
