| Three of the Falcons’ first four games come at Kingston Park, where they went unbeaten for six months last season, with home ties against Harlequins and Leeds following a trip to London Irish on the second weekend of the season.
At this stage all dates are ‘weekend of’ with specific days and times to be confirmed, but the Falcons have already outlined their commitment for predominantly Sunday afternoon fixtures with a small number of Fridays thrown in, as well as possible date changes due to TV commitments and clashes with other major sporting events.
The draws for the European Challenge Cup and EDF Energy Cup are yet to be made, with those dates expected in the coming weeks to complete the fixture list.
This season’s fixture list sees no Guinness Premiership action on Boxing Day or New Year’s Day, but the festive period still sees top rugby action as Newcastle host Gloucester on the weekend of December 22 before travelling to Saracens on the weekend of December 29.
The run-in to the regular season sees the Falcons away at Sale, home to Leicester and then on the road to Worcester on the weekend of May 10.
Season tickets are available now for the 2007/8 campaign, with adult prices starting from as little as £168 for all 11 Guinness Premiership and three European pool games. For more information, or to book, call 0871 226 60 60 or pop to Kingston Park during office hours.
