About Newcastle United FA Cup
Newcastle United History in the FA Cup
Newcastle United are among the most successful sides playing in the world’s oldest knockout club competition, having won the FA Cup no fewer than six times.
As with most clubs, Newcastle's home faithful very much enjoy FA Cup football at St. James’ Park, which can hold over 50,000 spectators. Over the years there've been many magical moments at the home of the Magpies, which has become a cauldron of enthusiasm as supporters watch on in the hope that their team can replicate its achievements of yesteryear.
The Toon Army have had a number of quality players in the past, which is perhaps one of the reasons as to why the club enjoyed great success in past eras. However, the Geordies have continually struggled to return to their glory years, even with the likes of Peter Beardsley, Gary Speed, and Alan Shearer donning the black and white stripes.
