Would you believe BBC Radio Newcastle are offering commentary (albeit online only) of tomorrows match from Darlington - even though Darlington is outside its broadcast area. Should be a cracking tie that. RL Commentary Links: http://wigan.rlfans.com/fusion_pages/in ... page_id=55

the decision to play it at Darlington hasn't got much publicity on here, but i think its a good move, Darlington has a poorly attended football team who are about to go bust...there's a potential for RL to attract some fans in the area

Newcastle Council infuence radio in preperation for 2011 Magic Weekend shocker!

It's got quite a bit in Darlington though.

It should be a great match I hope there is a decent crowd there to appreciate it!

Well the stadium is big enough, takes about 27000, but is limited to 10000 capacity due to planning regs.

Thunder are within Gateshead MBC

And hopefully the winner is rewarded with a televised quarter final tie

unlikely

Be nice bit can't see the Beeb putting a very one sided game on TV. Let's be honest the Gateshead defence isn't very tight at the best of times.
