After a 70-year wait, the roar of the Toon Army finally echoed with triumph. Newcastle United's resounding 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final on March 16th, 2025, unleashed a wave of euphoria that swept across Newcastle. Twelve days later, the city erupted in a sea of black and white, as fans lined the streets to celebrate their heroes. Sports Broadcast Media (SBM) was at the epicentre of this historic occasion, crafting dynamic and engaging social media content for Newcastle United's official partner, Sportsbet.io.
The Mission: Capturing the Toon Army Spirit
Sportsbet.io entrusted SBM with a crucial task: to immerse ourselves in the jubilant atmosphere and create content that resonated with the passionate Newcastle United fanbase. This involved capturing the essence of the celebration through interactive games, rousing renditions of the iconic chants, and heartfelt fan testimonials reflecting the magnitude of the club's achievement.
Assembling the Dream Team
With only two days to prepare, SBM Programme Director, Gavin Puszczalowskyi, assembled a stellar team. SBM Senior Video Producer, Sam Hart, and esteemed presenter, Alice Scarff (renowned for her work with the BBC and the Olympics), joined forces with talented cameraman, Thomas Cronin. Their mission: to transform the raw emotion of the day into compelling visual stories.

Into the Heart of the Celebration
The team's journey began at the iconic St. James' Park, where, hours before the open-top bus parade, a sea of black and white had already gathered. Undeterred by the burgeoning crowds, SBM plunged into the action, capturing the electric atmosphere and engaging with fans eager to share their joy.

Along the Parade Route
Following the parade route, SBM interacted with countless fans, each eager to participate in games and belt out their most passionate chants. Every moment was meticulously captured, preserving the raw emotion and unbridled enthusiasm of the day.

Town Moor: The Grand Finale
The culmination of the celebration took place at Town Moor, where a stage was set for the Newcastle United team to once again lift the coveted Carabao Cup trophy.
Amidst the thousands of adoring fans, SBM continued to create engaging content, encouraging fans to recreate the trophy lift with everyday objects – from hamburgers to inflatable trophies and ice cream cones – resulting in hilarious and memorable visuals.

Backstage Access: Mingling with Geordie Legends
With exclusive media accreditation, SBM gained backstage access, mingling with Newcastle United royalty, including Ant and Dec, legendary striker Alan Shearer, and the entire Newcastle United squad, including manager Eddie Howe. This access allowed for unique and intimate content creation.

A Day of Triumph, A Legacy Captured
After five hours of intense filming, SBM had amassed a treasure trove of content, capturing the essence of Newcastle United's historic celebration. The scenes witnessed in Newcastle were more than just a celebration; they were a testament to the enduring power of sport to unite and ignite a city.
Sports Broadcast Media was privileged to capture the raw emotion and unbridled joy of this historic moment, delivering content that not only entertains but also immortalises a pivotal chapter in Newcastle United's legacy.
