A selection of players & coaches will be up on stage with Martin Emmerson, answering questions on the season ahead:
- Will Smith & Cameron Steel
- Nathan Rimmington & Chris Rushworth
- Jon Lewis & Neil Killeen

- Paul Collingwood
A number of questions will be taken from the floor for Paul Collingwood before the evening wraps up at around 8:45pm.
2018 season updates
The Club would also like to take the chance to update members on a number of things ahead of the season commencing.
Thanks to feedback from members & supporters over the course of the 2017 season, investments have been made to the Club’s PA system & the first stage of the upgrade has now been completed. We expect this to improve the audibility of updates during the game & the next stages of the upgrade have been planned in accordingly. The Club has also invested in a new CCTV system at the ground.
The Newcastle Airport stand & North Terrace will remain closed to members & supporters for domestic games, & the price of scorecards has been increased from 60p to £1.
