Newcastle United’s shirt sponsor, FUN88, has spoken of its pride in being associated with the Magpies followings its first season as a club partner.

The online gaming company signed a three-year agreement last summer, becoming the club’s principal partner until the end of the 2019/20 campaign.

FUN88’s open letter is published in today’s matchday programme and you can read it here:

Geordies,

We've had the pleasure of sponsoring your great club for a full season now and everyone at FUN88 would like you all to know how much we've loved it.

The ups and downs, the late winners, the roar from the Gallowgate, Rafa tucking his glasses into his pocket after a win, the unwavering support from the terraces.

It's been a season we'll never, ever forget.

We can't wait to do it all over again next season. In the Premier League. Where Newcastle United belong.
