It appears Newcastle United pre-season preparations are complete.

Added to the schedule of dates below is the trip to the Adidas headquarters (pictured above and below) to take advantage of the world-class training facilities in Herzogenaurach, Germany.

So just the five pre-season friendlies this time, unless there will be an as yet unannounced one during the stay at Germany, though that could well be behind closed doors if there is anything arranged.
