dantodan Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 People have various reasons for none attndance - mine are well known. People have stopped attending, basically because they are not happy with the product on offer. My problem could be righted in an instance, it won't be I acknowledge that - but - as a matter of principle I have (in my own mind) to make a stance. There are various reasons why people don't go any more, they could be Financal (especially these days) perhaps someone has been upset at the Track, perhaps people are sick (we are all getting older), perhaps folk get fed up when, what is basically a Fifteen Minute Meeting, continues for two and a half hours, perhaps it is something as simple as the Riders trudging out on to the Track during the 'Parade' looking bored and disinterested and not acknowledging the Crowd. As I say, lots of reasons, these are just examples. People have their own priorities when spending their money. At no time have I criticised Newcastle Speedway, to me, they get things as right as they can apart from the length of the Meetings - I have the utmost admiration for George and his fellow Promoters. Promoting Speedway in these tight Financial times must, in some ways, be a thankless task. They do a superb job of, at least, keeping Speedway alive in the City of Newcastle. Yes some fans have stopped coming for a variety of reasons. Those of us who pay every week would like to welcome back any fans whose admission fees will help to keep the sport going we need another 75 paying customers every week. If you have a problem with that White Knight then you cannot consider yourself to be a true supporter. You seem obsessed with TR and Ludvig. I don't like TR and sometimes Ludde infuriates me but I accept TR and Luddes up and down performances. Ludde would be great at Number 3 or 4 in the team. It is hardly his fault that the team strength means he rides at 1 or 5. Now getting back to you White Knight. The reasons you put forward for staying away are trivial and after this post I will ignore your posts for ever in future. Wake up man and smell the coffee. Your sport is slowly dying, if you care at all and don't want to come back for your trivial reasons then why not send Newspeed a cheque for the admission fee every week just to help speedway survive in the North East. Personally I think you sadly enjoy making negative comments due to some personality disorder but maybe I am wrong? However, how does it feel being in a minority of ONE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantodan Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Phew,,, you tell'em Danno,,, would'nt like to get on the wrong side of you, phooo,,, Hi Ruff, I am sometimes misunderstood on the forum, but really The White Knight must know his reasons for staying away are trivial and I suspect he has a real reason for staying away which he is keeping to himself whatever that may be. TR and Ludde and the other reasons he puts forward are not important enough to stop a real fan from coming every week. Anyway much more importantly what breed of dog have you got? It looks savage!!

The White Knight Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Hi Ruff, I am sometimes misunderstood on the forum, but really The White Knight must know his reasons for staying away are trivial and I suspect he has a real reason for staying away which he is keeping to himself whatever that may be. TR and Ludde and the other reasons he puts forward are not important enough to stop a real fan from coming every week. Anyway much more importantly what breed of dog have you got? It looks savage!! You don't usually spout rubbish but on this occasion....................................................... you do. Lindgen is not the reason I stay away from Speedway and I have never said he was. You really need to read Posts properly if you are going to critcise people on here. You obviously haven't got the sense to see that. I don't attend purely because of the Tactical Ride - no other reason whatsoever - that may be trivial to you - but it is not to me. Hell's teeth!! I criticise a Rider who generally underperforms, he may be exciting, but Points win Matches. As Arson has said - Lindgren has been around for a good while now, and, to me, both Steve Worrall and Lewis Kerr have come far further in a much shorter time. I have already said that he has talent - just not as much as thought. Since when was it wrong to criticise, in my opinion justly? As for Tsunami's claim that I use platitudes regarding Newcastle Speedway I would suggest that he also read my Posts properly, or perhaps get his Dictionary out - it might just help.

ruffdiamond Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Lewis Kerr 25, Ludvig Lindgren 25, Steve Worrall 24,,, As you say 'points win matches',,, Lindgren has scored more points away from home this season and has averaged more than the other's, so how do your statements actually 'hold any water' ??? Dantodan,,, tried PM you, but would not send, don't wanna give my dogs personnal detail's over the web, but will just say he's a 'diamond', bit ruff round the edges,,, the family call him 'golden boy', lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer: Not a lot. Same question for Worrall and Kerr? Answer: Yes. That is all I am saying............................ I am annoyed RD, basically because the Amateur Psychoanalysts on here try to tell me why I don't go to Speedway, try to tell me that I use platitudes regarding Newcastle Speedway - I don't, and generally resort to what amounts to a personal attack. Resort to personal abuse - and you lose the argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffdiamond Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) More of the same then. Doesn't seem to have been much improvement - if any. Certainly suspect away from home. but doesn't seem to improve his performances as each Season passes, especially away from Home.thats just from this thread, I have posted some figures from 'away' form, but still you refuse to recognise it,,, 'Best away performer and Canny Lad 2015' yippee Edited October 1, 2015 by ruffdiamond 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrace Grumbler Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I hadn't given much credence to the "team of second strings" line of argument until last night, when our no. 1 and no. 5 could not lay a glove on the opposition and as a result we were completely outgunned. I do wonder whether some of our team may have thought it was a hopeless cause and were beaten before a wheel was turned. I thought Ludde did a great Rene Aas impression, looking down at his motor. Great stuff from Tero though, a real fighting win in heat 19 which spared us a few blushes, stood as we were with the Somerset massive. Anyhow...no more speedway this year* so let's have some fun picking next year's team * I can't find anything on the Redcar website about amateur meetings., #2 daughter is at that stage where she can recite team averages and in search of speedway would want me to take her to Outer Mongolia if the Ulan Bator Golden Helmet was being contested. As Teesside is rather closer, taking her there may be more practical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left after heat 16, god did I miss another 3 heats, I thought we were bad enough over the 16, to be subjected to another 3 heats would have been torture, glad I left when I did. Totally agree with what you said above and will be interesting to see what the next few months bring in terms of those chosen to done the famous white diamond. Interesting times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
