Will this game be at home or be moved to darlo?? I will probs come along to chher you on if its at the stadium

I'd like to think they'll move it to Darlo. Much better hospitality facilities!

You should pop down anyway, we'd make you very welcome

Hmmm bit of a clart on though the stadium is 10 mins from my house...seriously considering comming along on a regular basis seen a few games on sky & you look to play good rugby & seem to be going places unlike that shambles that is hull fc!!!!

Start next Sunday 3:00pm KO v Whitehaven. Should be a great game.

how much is it to get in might bring the daughter along

I'm thinking of avin good weekend down your way when we play ya in cup.

Is it good night out? Any hotels near by?

Not really near the ground tbh but the metro will take you with in a 5 mins walk of the stadium (if its there n not darlo) i would stay in newcastle n jump on the metro take ya 10 mins...

The north East is a cracking night out. I'd certainly recommend staying in Newcastle or the Gateshead quayside and getting the metro in.

All your ticket info can be found [url=http://thunderrugby.com/shop/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=4here[/url

Can be bought online or at the gate.

I'm hoping to bring some buddies to the match against you guys and make an overnight stay of it. I haven't been to your neck of the woods in a long time and I've never been to watch the Thunder play. I'm really looking forward to the visit!

South Sheilds is good too and there are tons of B and B's on Ocean Road

The best curry houses are in Ocean Road as is Colmans fish and chips shop which wins awards on a regular basis [url=http://www.colmansfishandchips.com/Link[/url

Good coastline which takes people to Sunderland.

good luck to the Thunder for the match.

Long shot is an understatement but enjoy the day ! Hope to get a South Dorset contingent up to cheer you on.

Good luck for the big game, guys. I was disgusted by the way the BBC treated your club after the draw. Dave Woods' "A bye for St. Helens" comment was outrageous as was the general tone they gave towards your club.

Well, to the Thunder fans I'd like to say that not everyone feels the same way as Dave Woods!

I'm looking forward to the contest. We haven't won up there before so there is some longstanding revenge to be had!

Confirmed to be at gateshead stadium i will be there few beers in centurian then hop onto the metro!!!

Have you got a link for the conifrmation. The club's website says confirmation of date and tickets will be Tuesday

Gateshead Thunder will not be seeking a change of venue for their Challenge Cup quarter-final tie against holders St Helens at the end of May.

The Tyne and Wear club have insisted it is only right to give their own fans the opportunity to watch the match at Gateshead Stadium.

And Thunder's chief executive Rod Findlay dismissed any suggestion the tie would be switched to St Helens in order to draw a bigger attendance.

Findlay stressed: "Gateshead is our home and I think it's only right that we play a match of this stature at our own Gateshead Stadium.

"We think our stadium is probably better than St Helens.

We have a 12,000 all-seater international stadium and there's no reason to move it. We might get a bigger crowd if we played the game at St Helens but that would be extremely unfair on our fans who deserve better.

"They've had 10 years in the wilderness after Super League was taken from them. There's been an awful lot of interest since the draw was made. There's already a buzz about the match and the phones have been ringing non-stop with people asking about tickets for the tie."

and Curry Houses



A good night out Shields

Good on yer Gateshead! Hope you get a 2k+ crowd. Enjoy the big day and give Saints a good run for their money, good Luck.

I expect at least twice that attendance and Saints to give Thunder a good run for their money.

I expect Saints to 'have a bye'

A goodbye ,then they can concentrate on winning at Old Trafford in October.

never underestimate the opersition, i dont think its going to be a walkover
as some people are sugesting, well done to gateshead for getting to the quarters

Sorry, it was meant very tongue in cheek. Hope it's a corker.
