Footy fans are being offered a FREE winter jacket by Sports Direct Tycoon Mike Ashley ... if Newcastle beat West Ham.

Ashley is offering the unprecedented £59.99 giveaway which could turn every neutral into a Newcastle fan for the day.

As snow hit Newcastle and the North, Ashley, who also owns Newcastle United, set aside an amazing £2.4 million of freebie stock in case Steve McClaren’s side deliver three points.

The offer of an Everlast super-warm padded jacket is open to ANY fan on Sports Direct’s Facebook page.

A free jacket would also be a comfort to any West Ham fans annoyed by a defeat on Tyneside.

A Sports Direct insider said: “Mike knows that customers love our crazy prices and great giveaways so he’s decided to go the extra mile to get everybody behind the team.”

Newcastle owner Ashley originally vowed to give away the jackets if Newcastle had won against Manchester United on Tuesday.

But a thrilling 3-3 draw meant fans were left out in the cold.

A Sport Direct source said: “Newcastle threw everything at Man Utd so Mike felt that it’s only fair that fans should get a second chance to claim their jacket.”

Sports Direct say the offer is to members of the public regardless of what team they support.

Participants who register will receive a voucher that will entitle them to the free Everlast coat worth £59.99, which will be available from Sports Direct website subject to normal delivery charges while stocks last.
