I would imagine this will now be a Friday night game considering Magic is on the same weekend we play them.Nothing confirmed as yet though.

Could it be we are the first game at Magic Weekend?.
Toulouse and Toronto did it previously.

Certainly makes me more likely to make a long weekend out of it.

Apparently this is the direction we're going in.I certainly wouldn't be against it.

Would Premier Sports allow it with the contract they have to show the Championship and Sky showing the Magic Weekend ?

It doesn’t have to be televised though does it?

Done deal from what I have heard... Saturday 9th July 12.00pm kick off.

Have Newcastle Thunder done a lot of the legwork on this fixture?

Think thats a given. No way they are goiog to have another game going on in the city on the Saturday afternoon at the same time magic is happening.

Watch my latest show.

It's 70% likely at this stage that we will be the 12:15pm game. Newcastle United have to sign off the additional fixture.

There is still a chance they may say no which is why nothing can be officially announced.
