Mike Ashley will attend Newcastle United's clash with West Ham United today.
Ashley who has missed recent games as the relegation heat intensified has decided to attend this afternoon's crunch Tyneside game.
A Toon source told the Sunday Express: "It's a huge game - one of the biggest in years - and Mike feels it's important he comes up to give his support to the management and the players."
Ashley who has been subjected to a fans' campaign to remove him knows that things could turn nasty if Newcastle are relegated for the second time during his controversial reign.
