Really liking the vibe in and around Kingston Park - lots of good people relishing the opportunity to think big in their roles with the backing of a global powerhouse. Half-time entertainment was certainly different too
I've seen some crazy shit in my time.
But a bloke flying round Kingston Park on a jet pack.
And landing on the cross bar.
Is right up there!
Deary me.
Of all the issues in the game to complain about 😂
🗣️ "It is total bluster, unnecessary bravado and it just needs to stop. It is classless, too, unlike the try-scorers of yesteryear who offered dignity and respect"
@CharlesRTel says it will end in someone getting hurt unless referees start to intervene ⤵️

Happy retirement @DamianSpellman.
Was always a pleasure working with you during my rare forays into football, and yours into rugby.
Great to have you with us for the day @CharlesRTel …
Helicopters, surfers, plans to redevelop Kingston Park and ambition in both the transfer market and on the field.

Always love hearing our players talking on subjects they are passionate about.
Pouri Rakete-Stones and Max Hicks here, discussing Māori Language week.

Loads of really cool seeds being planted at the moment relating to the long-term growth of rugby in our region.
Exciting times.
Challenging thinking and raising coaching standards across our region.
Newcastle Red Bulls Academy and Newcastle Rugby Foundation have launched a new coach development programme.
Running from September to June, it includes practical tools you can take directly into your coaching environments.

🙏🏻 👑 Every supporter will have one of these on their seat at St James’ Park today — a message from Kevin Keegan’s family to the #NUFC fans.
🏴🏳️It’ll create an amazing flag display before the game, in addition to Liverpool’s own Keegan tribute in the away end.
7️⃣ Both sets of players will warm up in “Keegan 7” shirts, and a giant mosaic made from the fans’ tributes left outside SJP will also be displayed before kick-off.
👏🏼 A touching tribute planned to remember an icon of both clubs.
Great to have you with us 🤝
Great to observe Newcastle Red Bulls yesterday and chat about (one of) the sport’s most exciting project(s).
✍️ Big turnover, eclectic recruits
🧐 Technical/tactical detail
🛣️ Pathways to optimise catchment
🏴 Townsend influence…

Just a totally normal morning... seeing our new kit being worn by an F1 driver in the paddock at the Dutch Grand Prix.
This is how we roll, these days.
🗞️ Great show in today's Mail (paywall) as excitement builds ahead of the Gallagher PREM season.
Thanks @_AlexBywater for coming up and spending the day with us👊
