    Thousands of Newcastle United fans were left disappointed after a printing mix-up in the match day programme.

    One programme for the Hull match included a Willy Wonka style ‘Golden Ticket’, which entitled the winner to go backstage at a game and win a match-worn shirt from one of the players.

    But the club were inundated with ‘prize winners’ after they printed a picture to illustrate what the golden ticket looked like in the programme.

    The blunder confused thousands of Toon fans and lead them to think they had all won.

    Programme editor Anthony Marshall tweeted in a bid to clear up the confusion.

    He said: “Apologies to anyone confused by Golden Ticket page in today’s programme. The 1 printed was an example. Will be made clearer in future.”

    Not one of the best but another reason to have a chuckle at them!

    Oh aye?


    "Will Astley, whose had a season ticket since 1991, said he too thought he had won.

    The 27-year-old, of Consett, County Durham"

    How predictable <laugh>
