Aren't our rugger buggers in the Tetley final at Twickers this Saturday? Anyone fancy going and supporting them? I know Newcastle teams and London finals don't go together too well, but with the magic boot of Johnny Wilkinson on our side...

Sorry Dan, I seem to recall there';s something else on the "to do" list on Saturday. Summat to do with going to see the donkeys...............get beaten by the Magpies.

Am I right in thinking that we routinely get to the final of this competition and never win it? ("we"- I'm such a gloryhunter).

No Dougal - I think that's the FA Cup yer thinking of.

I do Dan but am not sure how to get a ticket. I am sure there will be loads left on the day but I want to sit in the Falcons end and under cover.

I got invited to the varsity match by a work colleague but we got tickets inb the only un covered bit in the stadium. We moved of course but I still don't fancy sitting with a load of Harlequin rugger buggers

Any ideas on how to get tickets?

Bake, try the RFU website for ticket details:

http://www.rfu.com/

Apparently there are 55 buses coming down from the Toon and 7,000 tickets sold to Falcons supporters - my (very)old man being one of them ....

Cheers WL I have looked and there are 65,000 tickets already sold. The RFU have stopped selling them. So it looks like Bake stayed in the pub watched it on the telly.

Cheers anyway
