Tsunami Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Just to add to my post (#96), when we brought in our own (Darryl) burger van, the then landlords, William Hill, soon put a stop to it. And countered it by charging £150 per meeting for the van parking. It was taking business off the main outlet in the bar upstairs, so they made our burger van not viable with the extra rent. The sad thing was that the van also did hot drinks and meant that disabled people did not have to go upstairs to the upper bar. The eventual compromise was the setting up of the vacant track shop on the terracing, having also lost the previous track shop next to the office which my wife Jen used to run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantodan Posted November 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 I like the thread title but anyone who doesn't like it should exercise their forum rights and start a "positive thread title of their own" YAWN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantodan Posted November 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) I was looking for a more positive thread title but couldn't find one! So as the villain of this piece I am asking as follows: - We must be getting close now to the promoter's meeting, referred to, I believe by George over the mic. I didn't hear him on the microphone too well, as where i stand close to the 4th bend is often a children's playground. They were making such a din I could only catch the odd word George was saying. Is there a promoter's meeting and when is it? Just wondering how long it will be before we hear what the future has in store for us the Brough Park faithful Edited November 8, 2017 by dantodan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume the worst has happened Not sure, but I understood that the AGM starts at the end of next week. The AGM used to be around he 25th Nov years ago, but it was brought forward by a week some years ago, in order to get the fixtures out earlier to match up with the other countries fixtures. I don't think the decision to withdraw or continue will be released until it is advised on the first day of the AGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume the worst has happened so thats a couple of weeks away yet, so in the meantime folk can get on with their preperations for the big fella coming down the chimney ,,, or come up with some 'good' ideas to save the Diamonds.

waytogo28 Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Except for a large dollop of cash, from a cash rich sponsor or a group of cash rich fans can save Newcastle. Best thing would be for all interested in saving the Diamonds to buy an extra Lottery ticket and hope for the best. If I win more than £10 million I will step in and help.

dantodan Posted November 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 you can't wait, am sure your dying to put it in. You must see me as the grim reaper RD! I am sure that if it is possible, George and Steve will find a way to keep us going. If we close it will be the saddest thing I can imagine for me to put our beloved track into the "Defunct Speedway" website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
