NEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Ending a 70-year wait for a domestic trophy deserves an official party.
Newcastle will get one Saturday when the team holds an open-top bus parade to celebrate its English League Cup title.
More than 150,000 fans are expected to join the celebration. The parade route runs from St James’ Park, through the city center and ends at the Town Moor, an open space where a stage has been erected for an hour-long event that will include comments from players and a trophy lift.
