COULD THUNDER YET ROAR AGAIN?
By DOUG THOMSON
NEWCASTLE THUNDER could yet compete in League One next season.
The North East club had announced they would fold in the wake of this year's relegation from the Championship, leaving the prospect of an eight-team third tier.
But now officials at Thunder, who were founded in Gateshead in 1999 and relocated across the River Tyne in 2015 under the ownership of top-flight rugby union club Newcastle Falcons, say they are "exploring ways to keep our club alive and remain committed to trying to make the start line for the 2024 season".
