Jack Smith's aves 2021 1.80 (Glasgow & Plymouth) 2019 3.11 (Redcar) 2018 3.14 (Sheffield) 2017 2.57 (Glasgow) Compared to Congreave 2022 0.67 (Newcastle) Least Congreve could stay on for 4 laps at Brough and I would of kept Congreve over Smith any day. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t seem to be any communication from the club at all. the conflicting report in the speedway star was because the club didn’t provide anything for them to print so someone from the speedway star had to produce a article on their behalf.

Pinny Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 This could be worse than the infamous Mildenhall season. Ok, they have won a meeting but recent performances are absolutely diabolical. cant see them finishing the season and certainly cant see them being at the tapes next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if riders like Bickley and Procter became immediately available would you like to see these drafted straight in or would you want to preserver with what you have Regards THJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) So what an absolute shambles that was last night. I can forgive a team for losing to a better one but not one of those lads (Kasper apart) were giving 100%. That may be a tough statement in terms of Lee as he does try but even he seems to have totally lost his way with his home track. I have tried to be constructive in my posts these last few weeks about where I feel the club can make positive changes, even if it’s difficult to bring new riders in but again we get no management comment either in the stadium or in the press release. The presentation remains poor (and that is not aimed at either Barry or Roy who do their best in the circumstances), the product is shocking and the atmosphere is non existent. I was first taken to Newcastle in the 70s as a small child and have only missed a hand full of meeting since. I have travelled home and away with the club and spend over a decade volunteering for them. I would classify myself as a speedway nut who would stand for hours just watching a rider practice on track but at this point I feel I have made my final visit to Brough Park to watch this club which is a very sad position to be in. Three generations of my family attend home meetings at present and not one of us can understand the reason for us sleepwalking into a ultimate demise. The current promotion seem to believe that the only thing they need to do is put on a meeting, that is only one element of running a club and especially when the meeting is of such poor quality then the wider product needs to provide the customers with some value. There were a number of events last night that have sickened me and I won’t air some of them here for the good of the club but unfortunately the way the club is currently is an embarrassment. After 40+ years of living for the Diamonds I honestly feel last night was the final chapter for me.

robbieblackadder fan club Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Here’s the thing I can’t understand, Rob is obviously putting his own money in and good on him, but he can’t be happy loosing matches and revenue the way things are going so why doesn’t he change it and have the prospect of making a profit and a winning team is he just happy throwing money away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoff100 Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Riders dont help wearing helmets on parade,not coming round on a victory lap,and why oh why do we need to refuel after a false start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There appears no team spirit and that is being shown on track with less commitment being shown into the first turn. Ty and Kyle wouldn’t be my first choice due to the Brough Park record but I would snap your hand off for both if they could come into our side as the reserve pairing (or push James into that spot) Edited June 13, 2022 by Viper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) And now Proctor and Bickley are available. Berwick signed a Dane and stoneman, shame we couldn’t get them. Edited June 13, 2022 by Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on Berwick for managing to find two riders when apparently there aren’t ANY that want to ride in the UK. Maybe it’s just how you ask the question and what you offer? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Thought it was poor Clegg didn't come round after heat 14, that was the first Newcastle winner wasn't it. I bet the fans would have cheered as if they'd won the league 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle just exudes negativity right now… the unhappiness of the fans on social media.. the lack of anything official that seems to come from the promotion…. The damaging impact those photos of the track surface from weeks ago will have done… the general chit chat that there will be between riders… wanting to come to a club that has potential to go years into the future… a club that cares about junior development… and it’s been said elsewhere but your race day goes majorly against you getting anyone decent (I mean anyone who has aspirations for Poland) I don’t know anything that goes on behind closed doors but it’s easy to see Brough ain’t the happiest of places! What changed over the years I don’t know… the place used to be bouncing! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also George can gate a lot quicker than Smith & got in the mix.. Smith was way behind going into the 1st bend & looked like a rabbit in the headlight's.. not knowing what to do! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
