NEWCASTLE could reportedly consider scrapping their proposed Carabao Cup trophy parade in favour of an alternative celebration.
The Magpies ended their 70-year wait for a domestic trophy on Sunday with a 2-1 win over Liverpool at Wembley.

An open-top bus parade – penned in for March 29 – was announced earlier this week to celebrate the achievement.
However, the Telegraph has revealed that club officials are now looking to stage the event at the Town Moor – a huge green space that is close to the city centre.
Players will be in attendance, as well as Eddie Howe and his staff members.
Howe is set to be awarded the freedom of Newcastle in the wake of his accomplishment.
Following Sunday’s final, the manager said: “I am very, very emotional and have been all day, which is unlike me.
“We knew what was at stake today for all of our fans, we wanted to do them proud and win the trophy.
“I am so, so pleased with the result and the performance – we deserved to win today.
“It was tough when Liverpool scored. I was thinking about extra time. We always make it difficult for ourselves.

“We were well aware of the history, and we wanted to do the club proud. We wanted to score, we wanted to perform and we wanted to win.
“We are breaking new ground. I thought we were magnificent today.”
