Its up to the promotion/ owner to get the fans there, not the fans to blindly pay top dollar come what may surely?? If that makes you a better fan than me then on you go... but who are you to tell me what i should think and basically what i should do?? Good luck to the Diamonds this year, id love a bit of humble pie!! Spot on Arson fire I will not be attending this year had issues last year so I made my decision I would not go back last season, but I do wish the team well especially Carl & Stuy good look lads.

Dandelion Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 I don't watch it for free, and while I don't think the team will be competitive, I'm just glad to see a team out there for 2018 (If yet completely announced!!) I'm sure at many points during the season we'll have great rides to watch from the likes of Morris, Robbo and Wilko but I'm also sure that at some points the end of the season can't come soon enough, but I'm sure all Newport, Halifax, Hull etc... fans would love to be in our position right now I still keep my opinion though, we should have dropped to NL, even only for a year until we got our financial problems sorted, people said if we did crowds would drop, but it looks like they're going to anyway, going by what people are saying on here, a NL team of something like Ashley, Ruddick, Alfie, Danny, Hopwood(or wilko if he'd have fit), Embleton and Burton would have been nice to watch for a year, something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand why people don't want to spend their money, it's their money, they do what they want with it If I really liked a drink, for example, and they changed the ingredients in the drink, and I didn't like it anymore, I wouldn't keep buying it just because it was my favourite before, I would stop, same theory applies for sports teams, music, just about anything, so I can see where these people are coming from, me however, I know I will still love watching the speedway on a Sunday night And think it's still worth the money Edited March 20, 2018 by Dandelion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love speedway and love watching it but I'm not going to religiously pay the money to watch rubbishe every week. Nobody no matter whether your a diehard or an occasional supporter wants to turn up to watch a team get turned over week after week. I appreciate that the season has not started yet and we do not know how well the riders signed are going to perform, but if you judge them against other teams, Glasgow, Ippo and Sheffield it does not bode well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Dave) They usually do the Northern Team promo thing (can't remember its official title) on the Official Practice day on the Monday as well. This may have been put on the back burner with finalising the team taking priority. Hopefully the practice still goes ahead this weekend, weather looks OK at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
