So angry Rob Grant is at Berwick speedway wearing his Newcastle Diamonds jacket after shafting us big time. Hope he does not cross my path. #newcastlediamondshaftedbythebutcher

Would you contact him to extend and olive branch and work together to put it right?

Please help. I thought a reserve had to have 3 programmed rides. NS rode 3 last night but 1 was a RR didn't think that counted?

Hi John Sadly I have broken my legs and I'm having surgery on Thursday so will be unable to attend. If possible could you send me a message or email of what comes from the meeting and how people are able to get involved. My email address is j.potts909@btinternet.com Hopefully we will be able to support the diamonds next season and into the future. Thanks Jill

Me too I would love to be able to support Rob moving forward

Was devastated last night that I could not attend as I broke my ankle on Friday. However I would still like to help if there is a chance we could keep the club alive through a monthly payment. I will keep an eye out for any further information. THJ sorry I couldn't meet up but hopefully we will get some news on here. Jill

Totallyhonestjohn are you taking on the task of looking into supporter funded team?

I would be happy to do a monthly DD for 100 and maybe another 1 person possibly 2. I would love to do something to keep the club alive. I would then happily pay a reduced admission of say 10.00 per meeting and a programme/hog roast/burger or something included. That way the club is still getting further income from ticket sales but we get a reward of food/programme which could then be off set through other profits from the van, 50/50 draw, supporters club etc. Then maybe a yearly get together where we can chat to Rob and team. One negative is we need to stop the clickyness. I've been coming for over 30 years and never feel involved, miss the interaction with the riders and a chat with Rob to let us know updates etc. I think there needs to be disclosure of the situation the club was truly in when Rob took over to stop the rumour mill and get the facts out there of just how all those interested in Newcastle Diamonds were screwed over by the previous promotion. Maybe then a clean slate for 2022 where we start a fresh and move forward.
