Leeds line up Newcastle friendly

17 June 2009 15:23
Leeds will take on Newcastle at St James' Park in a pre-season friendly next month. The Yorkshire club, with friendlies already lined up against Blackburn and Burnley, will be the only side to visit Newcastle during the close season. The game is scheduled for Wednesday, July 29. Manager Simon Grayson said: "It should be a great game for both sides. "Newcastle are obviously preparing for what they hope will be a promotion-winning season for them and we are doing likewise. "It may be a pre-season friendly, but I don't think there would be many people out there that wouldn't say that Leeds against Newcastle doesn't have all the hallmarks of a Premier League game."
