Sun Tzu Would they postpone a game because of away fans travelling ?
I doubt it.
Lots of the Geordies will be Southern based anyway.
If it's called off it will be because the immediate area around the stadium is unsafe.

Here's a thought. If it isn't possible for the away fans to travel then it might be just as hard for the away team to do so. The game might be hard to play if the away team can't get here. Just a thought.

The away team have a duty to be there, and a lot of money to facilitate it. It's highly unlikely that Newcastle airport and Heathrow / Gatwick will be shut for the next 5 days so a flight down would do the job for the team but not be an option for 4000 fans.
If it is impossible for the team to escape from Geordie land then fair enough, they may have to consider postponing. But I'd suggest that there is a world of difference between a party of 30 players / officials with unlimited resources and a 2 or 3 day window being able to make it and 4000 fans in cars leaving home at 7am on Saturday having a safe journey
