Given the weather conditions of this week, it's not surprising that one year on from the previous Snow Ball against London Irish, we might get one again. Soooo.... Fancy a bit of exercise at the weekend?

The club are looking for Supporters to help clear the snow, if necessary, to enable Sunday’s match against Gloucester (kick off 1.15 p.m.) to go ahead.

The weather is so unpredictable at the moment that it is difficult to predict with any certainty what it will be like at the weekend. Whilst snow is not forecast, the forecasters could be proved wrong and it may be necessary to clear the ground of snow on Sunday morning.

Volunteers able to assist should turn up at the ground any time from 7.30 a.m. on Sunday, with a spade/shovel if possible.

If you need any further encouragement, the last time this happened was for the televised Powergen Cup quarter-final last season – and look what happened once the pitch was cleared!

We will endeavour to keep people informed of the situation via the official site (www.newcastle-falcons.co.uk) this site's message board and the Supporters Club website (www.onthewing.co.uk), so check any or all regularly prior to the weekend.
