Newcastle United Football Club
One day straight from training, it was off to St James Park for Newcastle United v Blackpool, a classic encounter in a bygone age.
Even today, 47,000 including 14 from Vancouver provided a great and never to be forgotten atmosphere.
On their second visit the group had a ground tour of St James Park,
empty this time. There was time for pictures by the pitch, in the dugout and in the press room - who knows what might happen one day in the future?!.
Training
The coaches involved with training the group were:
Adam Sadler (former Newcastle United Goalkeeping Coach), Coach Mike, Ben Smith (Professional Goalkeeper for Doncaster Rovers), and Joe de Oliveria (Goalkeeping Coach of Manchester City Ladies).

Views around Tyneside
Throw in the spectacular sights and sounds of Tyneside and its coastline, not to mention a delayed journey back home to Canada (courtesy of the erupting Icelandic volcano), the group were to have a memorable visit.
