Do you want to know exactly what goes on in the scrum? Or why Epi is constantly played as a flanker? Or do you want to know exactly what goes through a referee's mind during a game? Well now's your chance!

Talk-In with Andrew Blades

The Newcastle Falcons' Supporters Club have organised two "Talk-Ins", the first is with Andrew Blades, the Falcons' coach. Andrew Blades initially joined Newcastle Falcons this season as the forwards coach & his success with the forwards has been appparent. Blades won the World Cup with Australia in 1999 and has coached the ACT Brumbies in the Super 12s.

The talk-in will take place next Tuesday 11 March, starting at 7:30pm in the John Smith Suite at Kingston Park. The event is free for Supporters' Club members and £2 for non-members. No tickets are necessary - just turn up on the night.

This "Talk-In" was arranged at short notice and with no home game in between, e-mail and the website are the main lines of communication. So please spread the word, if you know fellow supporters who are not 'on-line', could you please make them aware of the event.

Talk-In with Referee Dave Pearson

In addition Referee Dave Pearson has bravely agreed to take part in a "Talk-In" on Wednesday 23rd April at 7.30pm & again in the John Smith Suite at Kingston Park.

Everyone is welcome so please come along, as Geordiefatboy points out on the MB both events promise to be "highly entertaining evenings"!
