Thanks Stephen Hi Bloom. If you go to John Skinner's excellent website "newcastlespeedwayhistory.co.uk" is shows all the teams and riders that have ridden for the Diamonds, and some biogs supplied by the riders themselves.

Yeah I'm familiar with that website I’ve visited it a few times. I don’t suppose you know anyone/where I could possibly get a hold of a speedway star from 97 with our end of season team preview in?

Thanks Stephen Best bet I think would be Barry Wallace in the box or Bob Boardman who sits with him. See him on Sunday before the meeting.

Thanks Stephen I will try and do a scan of it some time this weekend if you want. You'll need to PM me so I have your email address to send the scans to (probably about 3 pages worth and about a meg or so per file). PS. Assume you meant review (not preview) ?

Guest compost Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Hi, Just to confirm my PM to you but Bad news I'm afraid as I can't find the magazine with the review in (it looks like I've lost a few mags and that was one of them). Can anyone else help ? Apols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it didn't say was the difficulties we were working under with the stadium situation. In about July/August the Stadium owner, and one of our partners, Eric Armstrong, went into receivership and we eventually, after new arrangements, were allowed to complete our season under the direction of KPMG. It was a very stressful situation whilst the stadium was put up for sale, and it took till the January, 1998 before a sale was agreed. We knew there was 3 potential buyers, so we had declared to the BSPA we were running at the 1997 AGM, and were included in the drafts for the 1998 fixture lists. The sale was completed and announced in January, 1998 but on the 1st April(I kid you not) a letter dropped though our postbox saying that we had been fined a large sum for not being able to confirm we were to run at the AGM.
