Ally Hogg and Flash the Falcon at the opening of Newcastle's newest Burger King

Five Newcastle Falcons were present at the re-opening of Burger King on Newcastle’s Northumberland Street last weekend.

Ally Hogg, Darren Fearn, Mark Wilson, Joel Hodgson and Joe Robinson were accompanied by Flash the Falcon, the club’s mascot, as the doors to the newly improved Burger King restaurant were opened for the first time. The restaurant will create a number of new jobs in the area, and you can see murals of the nearby Tyne Bridge and The Sage inside.

Falcons commercial director Mark Foster said: “We are building partnerships with local, national and international brands. As well as supplying players to open the store, Burger King will be sponsoring the game against Leicester Tigers on Saturday 17 September.”
