Don't think the date or venue has been confirmed yet.

I was told that we had spoke to Gateshead and they wanted the game switched to Saturday, but theres nothing been mentioned since.

That will depend on whether their ground is available on the Saturday because of sharing with football and athletics, so they may have to move it elsewhere. Would hope it will be sorted shortly (though I can't go anyroad).

Gateshead asked Leigh to switch to the Saturday, and then found that they couldn't use the stadium that day, either!! I think the game is being played at Newcastle Falcons RU, but am not sure which day it's on, now!

Gateshead website doesn't obviously have any fixtures on it. Thought it was only us that didn't keep our website up to date!

i hope they make a decision doon, not bothered which day its on really, but if had a choice would choose the sun, and i am sure leyther matt woukd prefer sun.

I'm working the Sunday as well so Friday night suits me fine

Im trying to get all our games changed to Tuesday mornings .

I don't believe for a minute you get up before half 11 on a weekday!

Matthew my Owd friend , Charlie Caroli jnr would confirm im up at seven every week-day morning , and in Wigan for about 7.45 am 3 times a week for my Hydro-Therapy sessions .

Yeh but that's only cos you need to use the lavvy.

Do you mean the Water -Closet , Francis?As my owd bones need a Massuse too help ,i attend 3 times a week then on to the Tower for training the Trapeze Artists , you being a fellow Artist

should understand .

[url=http://www.thunderrugby.com/article.php?id=7157Gateshead official website[/url has confirmed it as being played at Newcastle Falcons RU, Sunday 4th March (3pm kick off).

I have to back at Trafford Park for 7pm after this game, does anybody have a Delorean I could borrow for the day?

Have a tout around the dam later in the week pal and see what you can get. Enjoy



P.S. Hope you get stuffed, obviously!

Well last season at Workington TV Boy gave 3 of us a lift back to Leigh and we got back at 18-45pm. Send him a PM I think he is driving to Newcastle and I am sure he will get you to your footie game in plenty of time.



Mind you it was for me at any rate a scary trip.

I'll just be happy if I get home in one piece. Buying tickets in the Ajax end probably wasnt one of my greatest ideas haha. Thanks mate.

I think the football is the safest place you'll be visiting mate!



I believe when Scotland played there that you could walk all the way around the ground so I'm sure you'll end up in the United end eventually!

Cracking bar in the main stand there.

You are dead right in all of that post Frank, then again we were glad to get to Leyth early for the ale.

I wasn't scary Ian. I don't think you can do that trip and. Be back before 7. It says it's 2 hrs 49 mins on the route finder and you can only really knock 15 mins off that. with game finishing at 4.40pm by the time you get to the car and away there is not much chance of getting to O T before 7.30pm

I didn't think it was scary, Frank did though.



I still think you could do it though Tony.

Great stuff. Hotel booked for stayover in Newcastle

Be cautious - Newcastle play Sunderland on the same day with a 12 noon k.o.
Best not to wear red and white within a square mile of Newcastle Central Railway station or St James Park.
Roads are also blocked as police escort the Sunderland fans into Newcastle city centre,and out again.

I'll think about going to this one as its a ground iv'e never been to,unfortunately it could be a total miss match as donny have put 48 past them tonight
