With the deep freeze setting in, and already some snow in some parts of the north already, could tomorrow's friendly be off.

Can't see either side risking player and supporters welfare for a friendly.

Could we even see a return of MC's snow shovel.

Making the trip up in my son's car. He passed his test just before Christmas, and got his first car last weekend.

Be a shame as Gateshead are one of the few development clubs I feel have some real potential. The chance to see some SL stars like TJ can only help their cause.

Not sure if the link will take you anywhere however according to the MetOffice Gateshead shouldn't be white over come gameday... it will be cold though!! https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/wea ... 2019-01-19

Sure Vasty. The previous Gateshead super league franchise did fabulously.

Really don't get that comment. I don't see them as a SL team, did I say that? However I see them as potentially a great semi pro club capable of heading the game in fertile player territory. Spreading RL is not all about SL teams as the VT loonies seem to think, all we need is a strong amatuer base everywhere. In essence that's basically all RU has, it's just that there premier teams are a bit more spread about, though they are still mainly based in the South which is oddly ignored.

They play on a 4g pitch don’t they so i’d doubt it would be called off?

Firstly they don't play in(or are they called) Gateshead, they play in Woolsington which is close to the airport, totally otherside of the city from Gateshead, they play on a 4g pitch so game will go ahead, between now and 2pm tomorrow there is less than. 10% chance of snow "showers" so hardly the beast from the east, I'll be taking a Car full up setting off at 11am to watch my son make his debut for Trinity first team

Thanks SC and FT. Wasn't aware that they played on 4g pitch.
Safe journey there and back everyone.

Hope your son has a good debut FT

Titus Gwaze?

Another proud father of a Trinity player on this forum

- if you don't mind me asking FT who's your son?

Well although my mum was Burmese I wouldn't pass for Titus's dad.

and I thought you was french

Just had a look at the team, a fair number of young lads in there with those that have just moved up to FT, I'm ashamed to say quite a number of the Academy boys I don't recognise.

Anyway, good luck to your lad FT.

Justin Horo??

Really though congrats FT, proud day for you tomorrow

I know you wouldn’t, just jesting - I’m sure Titus’s dad is also very proud, I would be

Another Crigg all black in the Wakey side FT

hope he goes well I’m sure he won’t let you and your good lady down, is daft lad going

Congrats FT.
Hope he goes well.

No, he's playing for Crig open age this afternoon

Good luck to all the lads this aft but, especially the young 'uns and those on debut

Wish i was going up today, hearing jack croft is very special
