Jeff Ball has played amateur rugby at various levels for 16 years and counting, a regular at the Newcastle Falcons since 2000 and a season ticket holder since 2002.

He is very passionate about supporting them, regardless of the current form and situation off the field, which admittedly gradually deteriorated the 07/08 season. He has also been a ferverent fan of a certain Mr. Wilkinson for quite some time.

Nonetheless He is looking forward to the new season, one which has already been billed by many as a "prove us wrong" season in the face of a lot of relegation talk before the end of last season. Therefore it proves to be another thrilling season, regardless which end of the table we end up fighting at.

Fingers crossed a revolution has been brewing on the training pitch over the summer and we will be dazzled by some performances to silence all those London based critics. You can find him in the West Stand every match day!
