Newcastle boss Eddie Howe fears pitch-invading supporters confronting managers and players could lead to a ‘tragedy’ and has concerns for his own safety at former club Burnley on Sunday.
With the Clarets set to learn their Premier League fate, it is anticipated that home fans will enter the Turf Moor pitch regardless of the outcome.
Howe and Newcastle are aware that the dugouts are on the opposite side of the stadium to the tunnel leading back to the dressing-room, and they are seeking urgent reassurance over security arrangements.
