The Bluebirds will be cheered on by 2,600 travelling supporters this evening, as they take on Newcastle at St James' Park. It's Cardiff's first fixture there since the 1983/84 season and many fans will be taking advantage of a weekend stay and a couple of nights on the Toon!

Last time City were at St James' Park, Kevin Keegan was a Newscastle player, in his first spell at the Club and a resurgent Geordies ended up clinching promotion to the top division alongside Chelsea and Sheffield Wednesday. This time around, they have led the Championship for much of the season and have brought six new players into their squad during the January window, to further strengthen their cause. Meanwhile City have serious problems in central midfield with Gavin Rae the latest casualty.

Let's hope Dave Jones' players can continue their fine away form and upset the odds tonight in the North East. A full match report and photos to follow.
