BREAKING NEWS: Our Magic Friday hospitality package promises a great night out for the THUNDER faithful, Workington away fans, and visiting neutrals. The menu is packed –curry and rice, peppercorn chicken, desserts, cheeseboard, and more sides than you can shake a spoon at – plus heritage numbers, guest speakers, a chance to meet the players, and – of course – a matchday ticket for Newcastle Thunder vs Workington Town Not bad for £45, so book yours now at https://www.thunderrugby.co.uk/match-day/tickets and don’t worry about trying to get a table in the Toon on a Friday night! #rugbyleague #magicweekend

Bus X45 leaves Stand C at Eldon Square bus station on the hour and half hour, and 6 minutes later from Central Station Stop D. It takes 19 minutes and drops you right outside the entrance to the club. Ask for "Blaydon Rugby Club". After the match the frequency is one per hour. There are other buses from Gateshead Metro Interchange but they take longer. The Post Code is NE16 3BN. Off the A1 find the B6317. I don't know what the £45 gets you, but the food is very good.

May I invite and encourage any Rugby League fan who will be in the North East on Friday for the Magic Weekend to come along to Blaydon Rugby Club NE16 3BN to support the Greatest Game at the match between two outpost clubs, Newcastle Thunder v Workington, kick-off 7.30 pm, Friday 2nd April Thunder have emerged from losing their financial backer by becoming a truly community club, run largely by volunteers and having a team of homegrown talent and young men keen to represent the region. They are coached by Chris Thorman, who has done wonders with the small number of players of our game in the area, and produced a team which is improving every week. There is free parking and cost-effective food and drink, and an excellent clubhouse with a real community feel. To help Rugby League to survive in the North East you can order your ticket at thunderrugby.co.uk/matchday/tickets. Come along, help the game up here, and have a great time!

I'm going for a Thunder win.

You'll miss a well-sponsored game, Phil.

SQUADBUILDER TO SPONSOR THUNDER v HURRICANES Fans' organisation Squadbuilder is to sponsor Sunday's match against Midlands Hurricanes in a further boost to the club. Squadbuilder is an opportunity for fans to have an input into the club by paying one or more monthly instalments of £5 by standing order. The scheme has been running for over 20 years and has given over £40,000 to the club for recruitment and retention, and, at times of great need, even helped to keep the club in existence. The situation now makes Squadbuilder a valued partner to Thunder management, and we would love to have more members. You will be able to pick up a bank form at the match on Sunday, or by contacting petergbowen@yahoo.co.uk Every contribution is vital.

Two new additions: Charlie Yeoman, ex-Wigan Warriors Academy Austin Phillips retained. I think that's 28 now
