Newcastle

[Fenton Knight]

Newcastle admitted to League One for 2024.

[Expatknight]

A nice Christmas present for the fans. Let’s hope all those who were so vocal about their demise put their hands in their pockets and buy season tickets, I wish the club well.

[Nige Arro]

See they've changed the game to sat 27th 3pm. 

Unusual time/day for a match ?

[HolmeKnight]

Doesn't suit me at all. As far as I'm concerned, Saturdays are for football, Sundays for rugby league. 

I support York City, the Knights and the Valkyrie. I can't be at Hartlepool and Newcastle at the same time!

I imagine the switch is at Newcastle's request. It's only a pre-season comp that we should comfortably win (with all due respect to Thunder),nits not a huge deal.

I hope Thunder go well this year. It would be good if we could send our fringe lads on DR up there to help them out.

[Phil W]

Hi everyone, we've had a fans meeting at Thunder tonight.

Tickets are on sale for our game against York on the front page of our website. You may have to be a bit patient as we're starting from scratch but for those who want to buy you can in advance.

3 of us. Making a weekend of it and staying over Saturday night.  Flags and drums at the ready. It's a pretty low key game and I think we'll see a few fringe players getting a run out but I can't wait to watch a game and get the season going. I'm going to make sure I enjoy it! Can't wait.

How's things shaping up Phil. No mention of a squad for Saturday?

There'll be a squad out but very young and inexperienced. I believe the first training session was last Thursday and these games have come too soon to be honest. So will be used to have a look at players. Given we've got to the start line that's the main thing for us, we know York and Wakefield will be really tough games.

Good luck to the boys who turn out, it will be a tough ask and hopefully won’t demoralise them if they get well beaten by the Knights and Trinity, you have done amazingly well to get this far after what happened, it is, as you say, a bit too early to come up against two teams that have had a full off season to prepare, things can only get better, the main thing is you are back and I hope when your regular season starts you can string some good results together. Always had a soft spot for the Thunder.

It’s been a while since my last trip to Kingston Park. Thinking of Train and Metro. Do Knights fans still congregate in the big stand opposite the smaller main stand?

The last few times I have been the small stand and the stand behind the posts are the only stands open.
