Seeing as it doesn't look like he's going to answer your question (there's a surprise), I will answer it. It's quite simple really, neither the current nor previous Promotions have asked me to post anything on here. All posts are on my own initiative because I want as many to see whatever I'm posting as possible, as I want the club to be a success, no matter who is at the helm. Not all are on Facebook, so, if it's on FB and not on the website, I will put it on here (sometimes it's on FB, then they put it on the website a short while later, but I've already put it on here!). Hope that clears that up!

The Promotion have never asked me to post anything on here. Stop making stuff up.

But you said "It would appear that the promotion use you as a mouthpiece," which is not the case.

Off the Diamonds website: Newcastle Diamonds are thrilled to announce that this year, we will be working alongside the Northumberland County Show. This prestigious event, that attracts 25,000 plus visitors, has like many shows across the country had to take an extended break due to the pandemic, with the last show being staged back in 2019. This year, however, the show is back with a bang and Newcastle Speedway are honoured to be taking to the main stage as the shows main attraction for 2022. This year, the show takes place on Friday 3rd June, in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations and all of our Diamonds and management team will be there to fly the flag for Newcastle Speedway, in what promises to be an amazing show. The Diamonds will be performing burnouts, wheelies and laps of a grass track to entertain the thousands in the crowd, and we hope to see as many of our fans there as possible on the day cheering the lads on! We are truly honoured to be asked to take part in such a massive event for the region, and our 2022 promotional campaign could not have had a better start than to work alongside the County Show. Tickets for the show are available to purchase on the day, however to beat the queues as it gets very busy, we thoroughly recommend buying your tickets in advance direct from their website, when they get released in the very near future. To keep an eye on all info and upcoming details of the 2022 Northumberland County Show please visit their website below… https://www.northcountyshow.co.uk/

The promotion certainly don't use me as a "mouthpiece," everything I post on here is totally out of my own desire to do so. As far as helping out on the Website, been there, done that and 'got the T-shirt.'

If you're not happy, why not offer your services?

Taken off Facebook: We are thrilled to announce your 'meet the riders' evening has now been organised for FRIDAY 4TH MARCH @ 7PM The evening will take place at our friends, South Gosforth Sports & Social Club and we hope to see as many of you there as possible. The event will be free entry, with amazing streetfood, including Burgers and Gyros, available to purchase on the evening. This is your chance to hear direct from all the 2022 lads about their thoughts on the season ahead, and put any questions to them you may have. As always the bar will be open and we will also be hosting a raffle and there will be music on afterwards for a full evenings entertainment! So make sure you get yourself along, Friday 4th March @ 7pm, and help us start the season off right!

I thought maybe I was hallucinating when I stood next to you on the terraces last season!!

Still haven't answered my question, I see.

When did he stop going?

You could say this for most, if not all the tracks in the country. 99.9% of fans are fine and you can have a decent conversation with them and enjoy the banter, but you still have that 0.1% who (usually) have "one over the eight" and cause you grief. Rather than cause trouble, unfortunately, the only option is for you to move to another part of the track. I must say though in all the years of travelling away to support the Diamonds, it's never come to that, but I know it's happened to others, even at Brough Park.

Don't forget you have to switch at Monument from the Central Station to get to Byker, which adds to the journey.

2016, actually!!

I think tarnishing Lee Complin with the same brush as Lewis Bridger is a bit harsh.

Sunday

You (and anybody else) have that option, but........ Others may want to buy the pass now, no matter who the last rider is, to support their team regardless.

LOL!

Depends if any extra meetings are included, though.

Both kept their "Brummies" and "Eagles" names.
