The partnership will also put the station and its breakfast broadcasters the heart of the event, with Justin and Kelly leading the hosting of the Fan Plaza in the shadow of the stadium on the match day.
They will be joined on the day by the Heart Angels as the day gears up towards the 3pm kick-off between Northumbria and Newcastle University and the 5:30pm kick off between the Falcons and the Saints.
Commenting on the club’s first official media partnership, head of marketing Melanie Magee said: “It really is great news that Global Radio is partnering with The Big One. They will add so much in the build up to March 24, and via Justin and Kelly will help create a fantastic atmosphere on match-day.
