Thanks

Very sad to hear you have had enough but i understand your feelings.What happened to Grant's ideas of putting fairground rides on and a live band as extra entertainment? Has he just gave up now? Unbelievable how he's in his catering van frying burgers whilst the team on track are in a mess. I really fear for the future of Newcastle Diamonds to finish this season never mind running next season. I respect Rob for taking the club on and in all fairness he had it tough with the mess he was left in and then Covid. I can put up with the team being poor last season as it was hurriedly put together but no excuses for this season. There was more financial backing but he still assembled a team in which most of the fans knew would struggle from day one. You just can't be competitive with lack of heat leaders and too many gambles on riders. I have heard he's tried loads of riders to come but for whatever reason they have refused. The swap of reserves is never going to improve us it's big hitters we need.

Probably paying a fiver for a burger is the reason

Wouldn't take much doing. His pre match team talk is just simply " Go out & enjoy yourselves" No motivation whatsoever.

Looks like the rain off at Oxford saved us from another big hiding. Kerr 1 from 2 rides. Not sure if the track was poor for all the 4 heats but he was flying there only last week or the week before for Redcar. Apart from the Worralls, Howarth and maybe 1 or 2 more Guests have been pretty poor for us in general over past seasons.

Was just a thought

Surely Adam Roynon is on borrowed time at Redcar. Do you think he could do a job for us at reserve in place of Congreve if Redcar let him go. What is his current average? Just a thought as not sure who is available. Can't be easy with a lack of riders available.

Totally agree with your post. Not sure how much difference it would have made up to now but not having a team manager who can't motivate and seems pretty clueless doesn't help. Not sure if he does it voluntary but it needs addressing in my opinion. Let's hope we can turn it around

Maybe the offer for the land was too good an opportunity to turn down regardless of the loss of income through covid etc..Big shame as Somerset was a great track and produced some very good racing.

More excuses. Can't blame cracked exhausts. Ha ha. No Idea.

The track is known for breaking up in the same area. Jonny Swales had the track in probably the best condition it could be but Granty's biggest mistake was letting Jonny go. Let's face it the track is your product. As far as last night goes we gave Glasgow the excuse to complain and they made the most of it as they realised they could have quite easily lost the meeting. I.m not particularly keen on them anyway as they have an arrogant attitude which comes from the big galoot of a team manager. Regardless though we need to desperately sort the track out as the natives are getting restless and i know of 2 people who won't be back to spend their hard earned cash.

I was at the pits. I saw Gary Flint clutching at straws. Probably embarrassed that we turned yous over. He pushed a lad out of the way and then his son.(Young Rocky) who couldn't put the gas oot got involved again as usual. You're well named no idea.

Don't be so stupid

You must have missed Leon Flint getting himself involved as usual. Strutting around the pits thinking he's a big time Charlie with a long woman's coat on.

Well said

Agree with you

You still got your job Steve.?Rumours a lot of the previous lot are no longer required. I.e. Roy, Clerk of the course Graham and turnstile people.

Ha ha ha ha

So it's a little game now is it you absolute weapon

THJ will let you know as he knows everything. I heard that the promotion weren't happy last night that someone had let the cat out of the bag.

That's a bit harsh

THJ is an absolute weapon

Totally agree with you. He likes people to know he's in the know.

Is Kent a gater's track? Never been there before

Take a car full of the other key board warriors and it'll be even cheaper. Ha ha ha ha
