Arson fire

I said.. and i quote “wanted” to, not did!!

Uninformed? Im telling you what i was told at times and in confidence by 3 members of the committee man!! How more bloody informed do you want??...

So you chose to pick up on one paragraph of a lengthy post?? What are your feelings about this whole carry on then Dave? Were you aware of these latest developments??

Half the committee must have been bullsh!tting me then?! I have no reason to believe what i heard and was told were outright lies put it that way...and Yes it was bordering on influence but some strong characters pushed it away!! I also never mentioned or suggested yours and there work was anything other than brilliant.. stop being so defensive for once man Dave.

Certainly will.

Sad, very sad.. but not surprising!! I walked away about 4/5 years ago after going for best part of 35 years home and away. Some on here called me worse than sh!te. Whenever i spoke up as a fan you were told how marvelous they are and how grateful we should be.. It was like the freemasons and a them and us set up, had various conversations with promoters and it was obvious the fans were taken for granted and i seen it with my own eyes!! Those that were in the clique were so far up each others ar5es yet were treat like royalty by most. “idiot the fans” was one promoters response to it being pointed out that it was freezing cold and kids were standing around still waiting for a meeting to start 25mins after it was meant to, the charging for the car park that is free at any other time at Brough also rankled, as did the freeloading through the pit gate for mates of the clique. They just expected the merry band of loyal fans to Comply..If they have sold a business and hidden debt from the buyer then the deserve everything they get. Its sheer arrogance and incompetence... and dont even mention the control they wanted over the supporters club a few years ago!! Good luck Rob, you will need it and it will be interesting to hear and see if the usual hangers on have the Bollox to comment? As they certainly had the bollox to defend them whenever i piped up in the past.

Always sitting on the fence?

Fair enough, but if it was my dollars i was putting into a business id want my own people with me... especially on the money side of things. As i say its harsh on some but its Robs call and fair play to him for doing it his way, he must have his reasons. Be interesting when the dust settles who's services have been retained. Its quite refreshing in my opinion.

Tin hat on as usual.. But Why does Rob have to give a reason? Its not as if they are ‘paid’ employees. He may just want his own people in who he personally trusts? ( not saying others aren't trustworthy either) Harsh on some but not before time on others imo... Nothing wrong with that surely? personally I'm over the moon that the freemason type, closed shop them and us clique that has been at Newcastle speedway for many years has been smashed to smithereens!! Hail hail.

George may have been the face of Newcastle speedway, but to say HE kept us afloat is a bit of disservice to some of those behind the scenes, who over the years have put thousands upon tens Of thousands in. Good luck George and thanks.

Is it sh!te!! Once woke up to a ford Escort wedged 8ft up between 2 trees when i was staying Clarkies ( Lee) and the gluesniffers used to play on the noisy seesaw all effin night!!. Eee arr eeee arrr...

well that was a good few mins read, to pass some time away on a boring nightshift

Biting? No mate, just a little chortle...i might do actually, you coming? Halfers on the petrol?

Great to see Granty has kept you in your fans liaison role since his takeover

You’re never far away Phill, so i would put my hard earned with you if i had too

I will go for Jacob Thorsell if hes signed in Poland then he will surely rip his contract up

Cyclone, goes round in circles, achieves naff all and pi55es everyone off??

The Nichols clan are a very well known group of local people, originating from the Scottish highlands they became nomadic before settling in the flat above pelmis on allendale rd, they then ( luckily) upgraded to the Byker waaall when they inadvertently and by complete surprise got an exchange with sandshoe sam who was at the end of his tether with local youths. They are a loyal strong bunch, fearless and brave. don't know if they are related, but that could be possibly be a link?

Aye, i bet ‘In red off gate one its the Berwick soap dodger’ didn't go down to well

Happy days if Granty has took over the reigns, good luck. Are these still available just Off the top of me heed, but are they up for grabs? King palovarra weathers JB Andersen scrabble man clegg bowtell. Bates doolan covatti

Love Bjarne but Howay man he’s about 85. Hopefully any new promoters show more ambition than that...

Rider replacement for a heat leader in a national cup final man. They wonder why the sport is dying on its arse.

Told you 2 or 3 years ago but you wouldnt listen and just tried to take the pi55.....

Hats off to the flag Marshall i say, had the numpty have got past him and to where kids and pensioners could have been it could have been tragic, i would do exactly the same tbf, a red flag is a red flag, its the same for everyone end of. Ask yourself this, would Cook have slowed if the public were on the track?? Of course he would!! So why didnt he in this instance?? Too many fans lick speedway riders ar5es to be able to see any wrong doing in my opinion. All this does is give the self certed doyens of this forum the chance to play their pathetic ‘my mothers bigger than your mother’ game. How anyone can defend Cookie and the course of actions he took is a joke, he could have caused serious injury to someone by his totally immature, irresponsible actions that night... to look for a scapegoat to pardon him at the same time makes you as bad as him!!. But lets blame the bloke trying to stop him eh.

Not the old chestnut at all? Its maybe not who i thought it was thats all. got nowt against people who work there getting in free fwiw... and ive done plenty of work at the track in days gone by Dave.
