Fromafar Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Don’t think apology is needed,most fans know that is a very weak Diamonds Team and Redcar are a good Team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that, but most isn't all. Any good news on moving forward might/could be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Have to agree with most whilst the frustration of the promotion is evident a public apology stating that riders have been told its not good enough doesn't smack of harmony within. The track was a little different to usual and the boys struggled a little but im confident they will all be suitably adjusted for our next home meeting would have sufficed IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrP Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Once again he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. If it had happened at other teams it would have been “How refreshing shows how much he cares” At Newcastle not a chance. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I don’t see the problem.. yes the track was different but should Alfie Bowtell, Dan Thompson and Ashley Morris be getting paid 34 points absolutely not! Redcar are a decent side but we should not be losing by 20 points. One or two of our riders are off the boil and thank god for Howarth and Barker otherwise it would of been a lot more. Hopefully we should see an improvement on Sunday 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 With the team assembled way under the points limit. A number one released to cut costs. Two riders making comebacks and originally signing a NDL second string as a reserve then you surely can’t expect a winning team as well !!!! especially when you don’t put your top scorer in heat 15 presumably to keep your wage bill down.

It’s ok for others to complain about Sunday night but when the management team apologise it’s a different kettle of fish. In future Rob and team don’t bother as your no better thought of. It’s called caring about Newcastle speedway and doing the best with what they have. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyHonestJohn Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Honestly What the real shame was... is this meeting wasn't bad and there was plenty of passing and some good competitive racing; there was a healthy crowd in the stadium and it was the first time this season the overflow car park had to be used so there were a lot of positives to take out of Sunday; however I couldn't get my second nose bag because of the queue at the chuck waggon which again I suppose isn't a bad thing cos one; I'm fat enough and two; it means the food was selling well although there were no chips available; come on guys "No chips" I'm starting to think this is a witch hunt against fat lads; you'll be selling salad next... however the result was just the wrong way round and its accepted that Redcar have a good team but again apart from the dust off the track it was a good days entertainment... the club have nothing to apologise for IMHO or to feel embarrassed about that's for sure... Onwards and upwards and bring on Berwick this Sunday and lets see how we get on... As a team surely we cant gate as poorly as we did against Redcar... Here's a question has the promotion set up for a change with that strongly worded statement? maybe... who knows but possibly there could be news coming... but all in all there were a lot of positives to take out of Sunday other than the final score and the dusty track... and on that point... this defeat does not technically hit the top 20 biggest defeats at Brough... (that might change when Poole come or maybe Edinburgh again... Doh) that 20 point differential has been matched 3 times in the past and sits in the joint 20th place and those others were 32 - 52 against Edinburgh 27th July 1951; a 29 - 49 against Poole 19th June 1961 and 29 - 49 against Cradley Heath on the 6th August 1984 and on the 21st of June 2012 we pumped Redcar down their place 58 - 37 so "Schmit Happens" and what goes around comes around... however saying that Middlesbrough did do us on the 19th of May 1947 with a 30 - 65 reversal for our joint top (sitting in second place by date only) heaviest ever home defeat; but even Barry Wallace can barely remember that one... As D:Ream said "Things can only get better" and they will... Honest... I think the Berwick match will be much more keenly contested and much closer...

Not quite right Jason Vissing getting released had nothing to do with cutting costs... It would have been cheaper to put Kyle in heat 15 rather than James; however James had wanted to try something on his bike and his set up... and presumably practice his rolling starts (Ahem)… so again you are wide of the mark with the last comment... However you are spot on with the bit in the middle... Regards THJ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffdiamond Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 How comes Roynon's average has gone up from 1/8?,,, must be trying to keep James at reserve a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word from the pit fence area was that only Barker wanted to ride the other 6 riders refused, until Wrighty decided to give it a go, poor team spirit if it's true!
