topsoil Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 Hopefully this is a sign of positive news. I'm not a Newcastle fan (Berwick) in fact I've always seen Newcastle as the pantomime hated rivals, but I also realise that every club needs a rival. Berwick's crowd levels go up when Newcastle visit and vice-versa. And I've also been in the position Newcastle fans are in now with an uncertain future, not a good position to be in. Fingers crossed everything turns out well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantodan Posted November 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2017 Great news, George English has a role to play within the BSPA, he wouldn't be doing that if Newcastle were about to close and better still Newcastle are named in the Championship KO Cup for 2018. So if everything goes to plan, Newcastle will continue and I will not have to add the Diamonds to the Defunct Speedway Website :party: I hope the missing fans all come back next year. When can I buy my season ticket 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauger_Magic Posted November 24, 2017 Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) I loved the 1960's at Brough Park standing in 7,000 plus crowds....stopped attending in late 1960's and returned in 2000's when I was on holiday in Isle of Wight and ironically found out the diamonds were there that night....since then I have been to a good few away meetings and occasional home....however I was with a friend ldown south interviewing a famous Newcastle footballer and decided to watch the diamonds at Peterborough. The diamonds had their only away win that night but my elation was cut short when me and my mate held a big Newcastle Diamonds flag up as the team came round and we were totally blanked...other things happened that night when we accidentally walked in to the VIP area and we were shopped by a Newcastle person in there...two things which told me to finish going to watch those arrogant persons who rode for us....I also complained about the number of idiots smoking inside Brough Park and also the new craze of vaping!..nothing was done so quite honestly that is me finished....55 years after my first match with my dad. For the sake of people like Tsunami, Dantodan and Mike 7169...I really do hope Speedway continues at Brough Park.

dantodan Posted November 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2017 There has been a deafening silence via the official Newcastle website so are we celebrating too soon I wonder. Perhaps it is still a case of "we may run" or "we may not run" I wouldn't fancy playing poker with George! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmauger Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) my elation was cut short when me and my mate held a big Newcastle Diamonds flag up as the team came round and we were totally blanked. I was at Scunny one nite last year (not sure who won) and the away team did the same to their travelling fans; about a dozen all singing, shouting, clapping, cheering & waving flags, so hard not to notice, but their riders - nothing, not a wave or even a glance. Disgraceful.... Edited November 25, 2017 by Martin Mauger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
