Haddaway Gannin Ta Saudi Shields!!!!
Wouldn't mind Tyneside as an away weekend. Did my time at South Shields Marine Tech. Would be interesting to see how it's all changed.

I also spent a lot of time in Shields doing my tickets.

As did I, changed a lot since then though





Still can't beat the Toon for a night oot

I'll splash on some Armani man and be wearing my Geordie jumper and spray on jeans.

sound good to me!!!

Wouldn't be far for me to go as i live in Jesmond at the minute



Would be great idea to develop the rugby around Newcastle as you never hear anything about Gateshead up hear - an extra derby of Gateshead v Newcastle would be interesting

Wouldn`t worry me Dave...Geordies are a good bunch mostly.

Plus its the home of Newcastle Brown.

Dubai magic

Only 13 teams could afford to go, though.

Now that would be fun!!!!

If the RFL had any savvy they could get hold of a member of the Dubai royal family to pay for the lot including the fans

Nah,

Vegas magic!

I've felt safer down the Falls Road

I like the idea of moving it about every couple of years. Newcastle would be a good choice I think, St James Park (assuming thats the stadium they will use, but the with the RFL you never know), is in the city centre is five mins walk from the city centre and has its own metro station. Gateshead Thunder then have the job of providing the Friday night curtain raiser.

Newcastle night out ment to one of the best.

Stay at Whitley Bay.....Like it!

I would have thought they would change it a big further away from scotland .. south to north, maybe back somewhere down south?

hear mexico is good at the moment

Midlands Magic.

Dagenham Day Out......its getting silly now

Its no good having a Geordie Magic, the dobbins will complain we have an unfair home advantage.

Orkney Magic has a kind of ' I don't fookin think so' sort of bell to it....

i feel let down now, after reading the thread title i was hoping that it was going to be about thorman going to pull his finger out of his ar$e

Can't see Newcastle allowing St James Park to be used at the tail end of the Premiership Season, but if they are in the Championship they will be looking at any way of adding to their coffers.

St. Jame's Park is in a perfect location; 5 minutes walk from the train station and got a metro station just outside of it - the facilities are there, The Gate and others areas with bars are 2 minutes away; would be a perfect location

It would go down South first before it came to Newcastle but you never know

Its funny this should have been posted.

I was just thinking on Saturday how the RFl used millenium magic to showcase the game in Wales right up until a Wlesh side made Superleague (whatever people say about Wlesh RU not supporting the game, no one can doubt that we stayed down there until the job was done).

Then I thought, what with all the hype Gateshead have received on Sky plus the prospect of Newcastle United desperately needing revenue outside of premiership (I couldn't give a toss about the roundball game so please don't respond about the relative prospects of the tigers v Newcastle)- I wouldn't be surprised to see the event in the Northeast- and now the speculation has begun.

personally, I'm no flat capper, I come from outside the heartlands but firmly support Hull, and think we need a second Superleague club in France to make the international game more credible-especially if the RFL are intent on expansion and continue to ignore the work going on at Widnes. Whatever steps Gateshead have made, they won't match the crowds Toulouse have gotten recently, so if the RFL puts its eggs in the Northeast basket, I won't support it.
