Former England scrum-half Steve Bates to leave Newcastle?

Thompson in vow to Newcastle fans

Newcastle chairman Dave Thompson has hinted that there will be major summer changes at Kingston Park following another disappointing season for the Falcons.

Steve Bates’ troops sit tenth in the Guinness Premiership table ahead of the final round of fixtures having only secured top flight safety last time out.

Newcastle beat off fellow strugglers Sale 32-30 as Worcester were relegated to the Championship following a 12-10 defeat to Leeds.

And Thompson admitted he will do whatever he can to put the club on the straight and narrow during the summer with major announcements soon to be announced.

“We are working hard behind the scenes and we will put this club right,” said Thompson. “I am bitterly disappointed with the performance this season and I know our supporters are too.

“It has simply not been good enough and there will be a series of announcements over the coming weeks.

“The passion shown by the supporters is going to be matched by the club next season. I promise that will happen and we will not let them down next season.”
