Newcastle 2015


Recommended Posts

I am right in my understanding that the practice sessions this year are 22nd March and 23rd March, with the 23rd having representatives from all northern clubs again??

Yes.

 

 

23rd is also the Newcastle Press & Practice day, but, as like last season, the other Northern clubs (Berwick, Redcar and Worky) will also be in attendance, but they will also host their own clubs P&P's at their respective tracks too.

Will the terrace gates or turnstile doors be open on Sunday for the practice? as I couldn't get in that way last year and its hard to access the pit entrance for me so I left and went back on the Monday?

 

However this year I can get there on Sunday but not the Monday!

 

Thanks

just to keep supporters up to date that the supporters club are looking to run coaches to away meetings and remember that every penny raised goes towards keeping speedway at brough park in the future,, but also the lads need to win all there home meetings and hopefully some away 1's also to get the fans back to brough as its the fans that matter the most at the end of the day as well as riders not getting hurt,, so lets get behind the lads and have a good year

Question Newcastle v Sheffield - LC and Newcastle v Scunthorpe - KOC have these meetings been arranged yet

Not to my knowledge, but I know fixtures have to run before a certain date and discussions are taking place. I'll put the new dates on here when dates are agreed.

Mine says exactly what was expected as I said before a wheel was turned.

i didnt expect nothing.... And its worse than that lol.

 

The silence from our promotion is deafening though!! Surely they will tell us they arnt happy, they are working to put things right etc etc.

our PR is terrible, in fact its abysmal!! Is that because they cant be arsed, they treat us with contempt or just have nothing to say??

Newcastle speedway is such a clique that you have to be in 'the circle' to know anything about us.... Why? Why is it like that?? They knew at the weekend that both Swedes were missing but they put it on the website late last night...the day before the meeting....we know there is no money or magic wand but please have the decency to inform us of the club we love now and again because its like nobody cares!!

The whole experience of being a diamonds fan is pretty shabby at the moment sadly both on and off the track....

 

I realise its not the done thing to be negative and that some think speedway fans should put up and shut up, and be thankfull we have a team regardless and to those i Apologise for speaking my mind with my tin hat on.

The PR from Newcastle Speedway now is very poor. It was at its best when Barry Wallace had a full page in the Football Pink every Saturday and we knew everything it seemed. When the Pink stopped being printed it has become so hard to find out what is happening. The advent of the internet should make it easier for the promotion to get information out. The website might look pretty and technical but its lacks regular information even in the lead up to matches. Newcastle United are just as bad at giving out information but the press have reports still trying to create stories about them. Speedway does not have that luxury and has to give the stories to the press. and display on their own websites. Many times I only remember that there is an away fixture by reading on this forum.

A good example of a website that is well run and informative is www.nufc.com which is run not by newcastle united but by some supporters. The information on there is far superior to anything the football club does.

I mentioned on a previous post about changing the race day to a Monday. After last night I realise this was be a nightmare. With all of the Elite League fixtures on a Monday and so many double uppers it would be guests every week. Surely the only solution to that is fixed race days with say Elite League Monday and Wednesday and Premier League any night but Monday or Wednesday
