Home games are in Capitals

Looks like it might be Sale at St James.

Saturday at 530 and during an football international window?

22/23/24 MAR Aviva Premiership
Newcastle Falcons - V - Sale

That's some start! I don't think we'll be winning 4/5 this season. I'd take 2 wins from the first 5 games I think.

Tough start, but then 8 winnable games in a row. Could be in a good place by Christmas.
Although still just hoping for a good season to consolidate top 6.

Bit@#$%&first 3 home games on the telebox, doesn't help get folk through the turnstiles. Two best away trips up first too.

Can't wait for the season already.

Consistent top 9 is a realistic position with the tantalising top 6 coming along frequently

I notice we're away at Harlequins the night before England Vs. Japan. Very tempting.

Nice to be playing the champions at home in the first game! No better time to be playing a big team imo. Beat them and we can start having some real belief from the off.

We've beaten the champions at home on the first day of the season before. No reason why we can't again.

What a special time to be a rugby supporter in the north east and a Falcons fan.

New sponsors everywhere. Heineken in Europe, Gallagher for the Premiership, Stelrad at the Falcons.

Our new kit coming out shortly. The Champions first up at Kingston Park on the opening day of the new season.

Extensions and improvements coming to our Kingston Park fortress

Visits later by Jonny's "other" club Toulon, star studded Montpelier and Edinburgh. The away fixture at Edinburgh is so reachable we should have a big following there.

Then there's four great fixtures at SJP to look forward to: a Gallagher home game {possibly Sale?], an England international game plus the two European finals.

I hope all the Falcons staff and players have a really good break and summer. As soon as September kicks in, it is going to be hectic and time will fly by. Can't wait.....
