For those of us that can't get to the game on Friday night, or other games throughout the season, Radio Newcastle are covering the games with their usual commentary team of Kevin Williams and Ian Smith.

I've received this e-mail from the BBC via Smithy, and I think it's something that needs to be shared.

By now I hope you are aware that BBC Radio Newcastle will be broadcasting live match commentary of Friday's game featuring Newcastle Falcons on their MW frequencies.

However what you may not know is that we will also be broadcasting Kevin Williams commentary online on BBC Tyne via our Radio Player.
Throughout the season we will carry all match commentary online and you can find details of the latest broadcasts here:

BBC Sport will highlight the home team commentary from BBC GMR, but I thought you may like to let Falcons fans know they can also listen to their local commentary.

The link to the commentary itself is:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/realmedia/live/newcastle.ram - this will carry match build up and live commentary from 19.30- 22.00.

So there you go.  I personally can't get north on Friday, so I know where I'll be.  Now all we need is the right result...
