The Big One will be supported with a curtain raiser between varsity rivals Newcastle and Northumbria Universities ahead of the main Newcastle Falcons fixture and the largest ever Land Rover Premiership Cup taking place at Kingston Park Stadium earlier in the day.
The event will also provide an opportunity for the club to rally behind Doddie Weir, with a £10 donation from every adult category 2 ticket and a £5 donation from every concession or under 16 category 2 ticket being made directly to the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation. These tickets are priced £25 adults, £20 for concessions and £10 for juniors. Additional details on further fundraising opportunities for the MND Foundation will be released in due course.
With the game providing a sporting focus on a day with no Premier League or Championship football, groups of friends, work colleagues or members of clubs can also book to enjoy a big day out, with details available by emailing hannah.sutheran@newcastle-falcons.co.uk
