As I have said many times before, I am sure there is a strong possibility that FR will come to Teesside. They have looked at Newcastle a couple of times but not done the deal there (probably because of charges) The North East is the only real gap on the UK map for them, and MME is now on it's knees. They want to have something in the North East and MME will probably do anything to get them there now so I would expect it to happen before too long.
Historically they announce a base in the summer to be opened over the winter so maybe that's what to expect. They normally only rush into a new base when it is to replace someone going bust like malev for example.
