"I'm very pleased with that draw, I don't think it's too bad for Newcastle," chairman Freddie Shepherd commented.
"We've got trips to Portugal, France, Greece and Georgia.
"It's a fair spread, so the supporters will be happy, they're good travellers.
"They've had a fair spread in the past, a trip to the Middle East last week so it's another one for them coming up."
