bentleyman Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Info please how long on the Metro to Kingston Park from there is it easy to find the Ground and any decent Real Ale Pubs !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hi Bentleyman, Go onto Google maps put in Kingston Park, newcastle, when it comes up just minus the image once and you will see The rugby ground and Kingston Park Metro Station, leave the station and cross the railway and travel down the road for about 1/2 a mile at the traffic lights turn left and follow that road to the end and you are outside of the stadium. I can't speak about real ale I don't like the stuff. We did this journey in February with Batley. Cheers Roger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twin farms pub. About 12 mins walk from metro then another 10 from pub straight down to KP. Otherwise its not like your Newcastle centre haha. Houses and fields and local shopping centre. Go easy on us. We are expecting a battering Saturday and nothing less with injuries and way we have been recruiting youngsters to play. Not good times for us this year full time or not we've went the cheaper way with no experience Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderLeague Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Couple more quick loans in to try and cover the Injuries. Might see the same thunder team twice this year haha No idea on the three but looks like croft could cover centre with dee, Foster, Halsall, costello out/recalled. Who knows what performance we gana get. Hopefully we start to throw the ball about like the second half of the Seagulls game and keep disciplined. Fax stronger on paper. https://www.thunderrugby.co.uk/article/343/newcastle-thunder-secure-trio-of-loan-signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentleyman Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 Thanks for info as a log suffering Fax Fan i take nothing for granted i expect it to be closer than last year might have a couple extra drinks in centre and go direct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 That's what I did met a Bulldog fan at the central station and went to a boozer down by the river something to eat then up to the match, left the car in Kingston Park Metro Station and walked to the ground from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderLeague Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Yeah if you can be in the centre then that's best option. You think of Newcastle thunder being Newcastle but it's in the sticks lol Newcastle United playing at home from lunchtime so will be busier. Gateshead also playing a massive game at 3pm so probs not going to be a decent crowd at thunder. Brad Gallagher out for us now although we've brought three players in on 2 week loans. 12347 11 13 out missing Edited April 28, 2022 by ThunderLeague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 We went to the Tyne Bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovenden Grunt Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Ey-up Mick. Newcastle v Liverpool 12.30 k.o. so busy in the toon. Below the station The Crown Posada has reopened, best pub in Newcastle. At the top end near Haymarket Metro station is The Mean Eyed Cat, both superb if time allows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players brought in in loan gives a hint they might be looking to sign them next season, Betts mentioned see what we're about etc. As for the Halifax traveling fans enjoy your trip up!

Might not even have the same coaching staff by then. Already pressure on from fans. Brad gallagher out now. Him and Mullen our best players this year of what's left. Need to play out wide and get Boafo more ball in space to stretch his legs. I think keeping the score to four or less tries will be an achievement. Time for some young lads to shine and get stuck in.

ThunderLeague Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Fax fans were great. Hope the lads enjoyed their stag. Big game v broncos next 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil W Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 True on the Halifax fans, hopefully clashes with the football can be avoided going forward. With London winning today it puts more pressure on that game. Hopefully we can get one or two back but we've been saying that all season! Thought the loan signings added something, it'll be a case of if we see them again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought adebiyi was a bit unfit and a few of our full timers were also flagging. Poor kicking game again booting it up through the middle when the guys chasing were at snails pace due to not being fit. Croft had good tries but his and gidz efforts to defend that edge was very very poor. Must win game v broncos to give the first teamers coming bcak any chance of getting that last play off place I believe. Lose broncos then I see a further 5 or 6 defeats ahead with the schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
