The obvious thing for me would be to re-locate to Edinburgh, think Cardiff Millenium magic & Celtic getting into SL, last year Murrayfield magic or whatever the spin was...... |

Edinburgh.
Riiiiiiiiight. How is that going to be different to Gateshead's struggle to attract crowds?

A move to the Newcastle Falcons ground I recon. Shared costs, not too far for existing fans to travel and a new, bigger, local market.

Plan B appears to be a drop to Championship 1 and have a team that consists of the remaining local & amateur players.
From my point of view that will result in heavy defeats and even smaller crowds. Some of the current Thunder fans, like myself, have just about had enough. If there isn't the market for RL in the NE perhaps it's time we died with at least a bit of grace and concentrated on the amateur game for now. We could actually have a half decent side in the Conference National with the local players that were at Thunder. Hopefully some of them will be picked up by other Championship sides to further their carreers

For the first time i've actually got a sense of what a Gateshead fan is feeling right now. I feel a bit flat after that. Really sorry about that - sorry for what you've lost. |

Some good players locally up there. Its really sad when something like this happens as it hits the fans and Players hard. Thankfully Gateshead Storm and further afield Peterlee Pumas, Sunderland, Newcastle, Whitley Bay and Durham will make sure RUgby League survives at an amateur level. I would hope all the Thunder fans stick with the game and follow local amateur teams if the Thunder do in fact disappear. I am sure if Thunder fans wanted to take a trip then you would be made welcome at Fax |

Leigh should then rightly remain in our division as when their administration is confirmed they should be deducted 9 points which will put them below Leigh. To be honest, which other sport would allow its game to become a laughing stock. The RFL are an embarrassing joke IMO.
Im not knocking Gateshead but the entire scenario of this expansion plan has never and will never work for RL in the main. Ok they got lucky with Catalans but look at the other disasters and in particular the ill fated mergers.

They didn't even do that. Catalans play in a "heartlands" area. |

Cheers Si. I didn't even know these teams existed. I miss my RL when I can't get to the mid week games at Fax. I didn't know there was a team at Peterlee which is just down the road from my partners in Hartlepool!
Do you know of any nearer? there is NIL coverage of Rugby League in the local papers. |

there is little doubt about it that Gateshead are cheats, they have been cheating all season and as cheats should never prosper they should be banished from the championship and replaced by Leigh Centurions
