Engineers were called in to make safe a big television screen that had been erected at the north-east corner of the Leazes End of the stadium during the international break after part of it was dislodged by wind.
They started to asses the 60-metre structure at around 1330GMT, while referee Martin Atkinson consulted with safety officers.
The kick-off was eventually put back from the scheduled 1400GMT until 1500GMT to allow extra time to admit a crowd of around 50,000.
