| Supporters can park free of charge at Newcastle Racecourse, with return coach travel to the stadium priced only £2 per person, and accompanied children travelling for free.
For the usual 2.30pm kick-offs the first bus from the Racecourse will run at 12.30pm, with coaches every 15 minutes until the last one departs at approximately 2.30pm.
Then, after the match, coaches will depart the South Stand from 4.30pm, with coaches every 15 minutes until the last one at approximately 6.15pm.
For night games, such as the 7.45pm kick-off against Leicester on February 24, the park and ride will still run for a similar duration before and after the game.
Falcons stadium manager, David Culling, said: “We trialled the scheme on Sunday and had a number of takers. There is still plenty more capacity available at the Racecourse and on the coaches, and as awareness spreads I’m sure we will see an even bigger take-up.
“The beauty of having parking available at the Racecourse is its proximity to the A1 and the A19, which will make driving to the match a lot easier for many supporters.”
