Scottish Mag 3 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 IF you're lucky enough to be part of the sell-out crowd at St. James' Park for Alan Shearer's Testimonial then you know a wonderful night is in store as Gallowgate says goodbye to its greatest-ever goalscorer. Big Al's Newcastle United Select XI host Scottish champions Glasgow Celtic and the Geordie hero will kick off the match in his beloved black and white stripes. Here's how the night will run: 6.15pm: Turnstiles open 7.05pm: Players warm-up 7.35pm: Keedie performs Nessun Dorma (we would request supporters to be in their seats at this time). 7.40pm: Teams enter the pitch. When Alan emerges from the tunnel if you are sitting in the North, South and East Stands please hold your seat card above your head with the plain side facing towards the pitch to create a spectacular effect. 7.45pm: Kick-off 8.30pm: Half-time penalty competition - England v Scotland 8.45pm: Second-half. 9.30pm: Full-time Following the final whistle there will be an interview with Alan and a number of presentations all hosted by Ant & Dec. We would ask all supporters to remain seated until after the presentations have finished and Alan has left the pitch for the final time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
