Are are you still clutching at straws and holding out hope.. Genuine question I’ve heard this said so many times since we restarted last season. We have tried Bjarne Pedersen, Kenneth Bjerre, Dan Bewley ect ect but just can’t get it over the line - Really? Does this sound familiar NUFC fans from our former owner?. It’s like Mike Ashley saying we tried to sign Ronaldo but offering a 50k transfer fee and £20 a week wages :). Making headline moves are nothing if they are not feasible to start with. The old chestnut of Poland will no doubt be raised as to why we don’t strengthen but the question still remains as to why we built a side nearly 3 points under the limit in the first place? I feel sorry for the lads, they are expected to punch above their level every meeting and that is just to get us a chance to compete never mind to have a chance of winning. This is nothing to do with the lads, they are trying their best but any speedway fan knew that we were not strong enough to compete and it’s worrying that after only one home league match we are already in this situation. I am glad we still have a team to support but that doesn’t change the fact that to keep the crowds healthy then the product needs to be good enough. Unfortunately, the team isn’t competitive, the racing is average, the presentation is awful and the overall product is not worth £18. That is reflective in the crowd numbers and it’s worries me that the public silence from the promotion does not lend itself to the fan base keeping faith. We have more named guests for this weekend so no chance of any immediate changes but let’s see what the promotions ambitions are for the club in the next week or so. I hope we see a couple of changes to make us competitive, especially at home but I am pessimistic to whether any change(s) will indeed improve the balance of the side ahead of the rest of the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With any poor team it also affects other club's business as well as it lowers their crowds & they still av to pay their riders for racking up a big score. I support Poole but won't be traveling down there for Birmingham & Newcastle because it costs me about £150 each time for train, accomodation & admission. The score is a given, dare I say? ........I have been wrong before! The BSPA should help as much as they possibly can to help struggling club's to find/finance better riders because the product on show also reflects on them. Maybe they do help? I don't honesty know but knowing certain factual information & how they treated riders who wanted to ride on the IOW then the word 'help' would be frowned upon like the word 'more' in Oliver Twist!!

screm Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 Newcastle Speedway are pleased to announce, that from this week, all children under the age of 16 will be able to enter FREE of charge (with a paying adult)! This will continue to be the case for the remainder of this season. Let's share, spread the word and get more youngsters involved CHILD SEASON TICKETS: All child season ticket holders will be contacted via email, to arrange a refund of the difference. Hopefully this encourages a few more into Brough Park. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see Newcastle doing this but, yes there is a but........they need to get more adults involved as this is the condition of the child getting in free. So the advert in itself is a bit back to front! But Is it one child Free per one paying adult? Dunno coz the advert implies one paying adult admits all children Free! As all advertising it needs more aimed at those that are not already converted to speedway. Anyways, please forgive my nick pickings coz I wish all at Newcastle a secure future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that if the "powers that be" decide that promotions are not doing enough to sign a replacement if there is no sign of the injured rider returning to fitness, then the facility would be withdrawn, and you are left with NDL riders who are not contracted to a Premiership or Championship team. I assume that is still the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya spot on about away travel & unfortunately I tried to get some sort of transport for the away meeting with Redcar for the tyne tees trophy at a very cheap rate or I could have done a 16 seater bus for £14 per head but got only 1 or 2 takers .. hard times nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my point there is no incentive for Rob to sign a new no1 if he can use guests for the rest of the season so he probably won’t and it will possibly be cheaper as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all I've said that it's a great gesture from the promotion ... & I suppose if there was any riders out there who could improve the team the promotion will be exploring all avenues but with being a Sunday track it's very difficult to get the best riders in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does this mean a headmaster could take his full school ? Is 300 kids running around for an extra £18 going to be worth it Obviously I am joking but can you imagine Rob Grants face if someone did do that ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
