ruffdiamond Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yet again though you can see a pattern evolving as you seem to think its ok for Newcastle to run on a off night and cost our club revenue but not Redcar Hmm! did Newcastle not run on an 'off night' cos the stadium was unavailable, which is why we have no meeting tonight also ???

StevePark Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Bears were already racing at Glasgow the day before in Cup match, so that was a none starter unless in your opinion Glasgow were also being unhelpful in not changing their fixtures? And you have answered your own question why would Redcar run on an off night for "a fixture that was a money spinner as it was a derby" when you have said Newcastle were happy to come on any night but Sunday? That surely would not have been in the best interests of our club. A question for you. What was the crowd like (up or down compared to previous Derbies at MPA)? I wasn't there, as I decided against watching a 'Diamonds Select' side and wondered how many others did the same.

northyorksbear Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Definately down Steve. I agree definitely down, less of both Redcar and Newcastle supporters than you would expect normally. I think it was a combination of reasons - cold night (again!), footie on telly, meaningless fixture (from Redcar perspective), Diamonds select team (for Diamonds fans ) and probably general apathy from a number of Bears fans who are disillusioned with this season (and promotion) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregory peck Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 I know im a bit late - but well done the bpsa ........... and they wonder why the sport is struggling utter joke the diamonds were forced to ride this with 4 riders missing who was on the committee ..... Glasgow... Sheffield.... Workington and Somerset promoters how come somerset get until 10th June everyone knows a full strength diamonds would have walked this well done to redcar for battling hard to prevent their rivals going through ......... but I still think we should have won ..... Richie and Garcia were disappointing scoring only 11 totally hacked off as this was a competition we would could have won ,,,,, but thanks to the idiots in the asylum ................ rant over .............. ps hope Workington get thumped ......... cos they shouldn't be in the semis ........... sour grapes .... maybe ..... but its a fact Wish worky did have members on the committee then we might have avoided missing 3 riders at Sheffield on the same night,thought with George being one of the red blazer gang,he'd have found a way round it or did they just underestimate Redcar?

Dandelion Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 The committee consists of Kings Lynn, Wolverhampton, Scunthorpe & NEWCASTLE promoters (plus Colin Pratt not sure where he is nowadays), so effectively for Pl influence you get more than 11 other teams. Of course these promoters would always remain impartial when making decisions and not consider their own clubs interests to influence any decision would they Although having seen how Grumpy George usually has a moan about anything after a defeat one does wonder how impartial one could be Swindon I believe, although I could be very wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George couldn't find a way around it as he was given no choice but that date by Redcar. No compromise. I think he and us were disappointed that two guests didn't perform and that was why we didn't quality for the semis. No other reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
