Newcastle United supporters, who are embroiled in a legal wrangle with the club, this week learned they may be under-insured by almost £80,000.
The supporters launched a campaign called Save Our Seats to try to stop the club from turning the part of the stadium they sit in into a corporate hospitality area.
Campaign members had been advised by the judge and their lawyers that their legal costs would not exceed £100,000. The group took out cover of £120,000 with intermediary Greystoke.
However, Newcastle United has now submitted legal costs of £197,000, leaving the supporters potentially under-insured by £77,000. The club is also asking the court to appoint a new judge to review its legal expenses and costs submission.
The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
