Hunter Venues runs the stadium have done for years, HSG has no management rights over the venue, they have access during year for the teams they operate, that is all.

Hunter venues would just do a new deal with the knights members club to allow access during the winter season.

Whilst the number of members is large for newy, I'd be surprised if there was not a significant drop off if a new owner came on board and didn't have cut price packages at the same prices as HSG.

It will also be interesting to see any sponsorship drop off, and a return to a competitive sponsorship environment between the two teams and what impact that would have on the jets.

While I would like to think there is a ready made Newcastle based alternative that the FFA has just in case, I wouldn't put it past them to follow the money, wherever that leads.

I don't agree with the ego sentiment, think the two of them would love to fade back into the back drop for a bit while they try and salvage the empire. Tinks has already started to do that with selling Patinack Farm.

If the knights do go there own way & Tinks keeps the jets, I wonder if that means that we'll be in for another colour change to distance ourselves from them, a return to the gold or maybe embracing the E&C as our home kit with a new away.
