Whatever the future holds for Gateshead Thunder, there’s no denying that 2009 was an eventful season! To commemorate Thunder’s tenth anniversary year, Thunder Storm is publishing ‘The Gateshead Thunder & North East Rugby League Yearbook 2009’. 

Written by long-standing Thunder fan Mark Wightman, the Yearbook tracks events both on and off the field as it chronicles Thunder’s ups and downs from the post-2008 close season to October 2009. As well as full details of Gateshead Thunder’s season, the Yearbook covers the community game in the North East – from Carnegie Champion Schools to the Rugby League Conference. Includes full season stats, a directory to all North East rugby league clubs – even an end-of-year quiz.
