Wor Flags created the display in support of Green Football Weekend, a yearly national football event which aims to highlight the importance of reducing your carbon footprint.

This season, Newcastle have only had one 3pm Saturday kick-off away from home this season.

A Wor Flags statement read: "Today's display in the Gallowgate is dedicated to highlighting the disgusting kick-off times that have been afforded to us by broadcasters in both the Premier League and The FA Cup since the turn of the year.
