In August 1995, following the World Cup in South Africa, the IRB announced that rugby was open (professionalism was now allowed) and in September 1995, after talks with Sir John Hall, the Chairman of Newcastle United F.C., Newcastle Gosforth effectively became part of his ‘Sporting Club’ dream and Wasps & England fly-half, Rob Andrew became Director of Rugby. A further name change to Newcastle Rugby Club (later Newcastle Falcons) and during that first season it was deemed that Professional and Amateur rugby could not co-exist and the junior (adult) players at Newcastle Gosforth were given notice to quit. While most members were disappointed and angry with this decision, 2 individuals, in particular, decided to do something about it. Neil Jamieson had recently retired from playing having spent his whole career at Gosforth. A lock forward, he played mainly in the junior sides, captaining the 2nd XV for a number of years. Jonathan Lill started his rugby life in the back row before converting to prop and had represented all the club’s sides from First XV downwards. Still playing, Jonny was not happy to look for another club and, along with Neil, campaigned to have the decision to banish the junior sides overturned. When this failed, they decided on the next best option – form a ‘new’ club! In 1996, GOSFORTH RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB was founded.
