They already play in the same stadium, are owned by the same company, share training and commercial facilities, have representatives on each other's boards, include free tickets for each other in season tickets etc. I'm not sure how they could possibly be any more affiliated to be honest :)

Sharing the same playing squad might be the only thing left?

5. New expanded (Olympic level?) facilities to be built nearby and run/managed by the club
6. Selling shares in the club to fans?

I'd be surprised if they threw open the gates to announce signing a single aging player... but those two would be the only ones you'd bother about.

Funny he should come up...

Johnny Wilkinson is being connected with Gateshead Thunder and will be at their Thursday night game against The Dons which will be held at Newcastle RU's home ground (as part of a speculated re-branding as 'Newcastle' or similar) -- according to the Guardian...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2008/aug/16/rugbyleague

That night's home fixture against Ellery Hanley's Doncaster has been switched from Gateshead athletics stadium, which has been Thunder's base throughout their existence, to Kingston Park, the home of rugby union's Newcastle Falcons.


That has led to speculation that not only will the club move permanently next season - when their promotion to National League One will allow them to welcome well-supported visitors such as Widnes, Leigh and Halifax to the north-east - but that they may even change their name.


Jonny Wilkinson, a keen league follower as a boy and whose elder brother Mark was a regular for the Newcastle Eagles amateur club and made the odd appearance for the Thunder, is expected to attend Thursday's match - which will be televised by Sky - and also a press conference before the kick-off where he will share the stage with Hanley, a boyhood hero.
