Oh dear... that's another one off Grantys wish list... Could Rene will retire now? Kenneth Hansen could be up for it... same team as Tero in Poland and he does the UK... Just another name to throw out there because it seems that silly season has fired up again... Regards THJ That's a shame to hear about Rene,,, it might mean that Newcastle just have to muddle along until BWD regains his fitness? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked gash in one of the televised Polish 3rd? division matches recently and wouldn't become an asset. Get well soon Rene. So unlucky with injuries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is, even if Sedgmen goes back to scoring 4/5 points a week, that's still far more than Congreve is scoring. By not strengthening up, it appears Newcastle have accepted another wooden spoon? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinderfella Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Maybe a draft system like the NFL should be introduced with lower placed teams getting first options on any rider not secured on rolling contracts. I suppose it would be a bit like the old rider control and no doubt some would refuse not wanting to travel to say Plymouth or Glasgow. (Glasgow always seemed hard done by in that respect back in the 60s & 70s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can believe Newcastle are struggling to find a new number one (not needed in my view, as long as they're allowed guests) but find it hard to believe they can't get anyone stronger than Congreve, no offence meant to the lad, but he's clearly the weakest rider in the league & the obvious one to replace!

Yes but if they have a eye for the future is it not better to preserve with him.How many chances did Adam Mckinna get at reserve and no offence to the rider.

Let's just have the names in a hat and you pull 7 out before each meeting. Using guests is unfair on the fans. I recall a number of years back that Edinburgh were chasing the league title when Freddy Schott picked up a serious injury while guesting. Equally last season Edinburgh used the same "guest" at reserve for several weeks. I think the having a named No8 in the PL should be a practice introduced into the CL too.

StevePark Posted May 19, 2022 Report Share Posted May 19, 2022 Newcastle Speedway is looking for a new Press Officer. Ideally, this would be someone already a supporter of Newcastle Diamonds and who would be willing to meet the deadlines set for us by the local press. We must point out this is a voluntary role and help will be given on all aspects of the post to make the transition as easy as possible.

If you would like more information on this role, please contact info@newcastle-speedway.co.uk. This is a start but the club also need to sort out it’s communications strategy with the fans on a match night. Hopefully whoever takes the job is empowered to communicate with the fans wider than the press role but given the role advertised I would expect not. There is a gap in the way the club communicates with its fans through media outlets but that’s just a start, I would have been far more satisfied with a communications officer role being on offer but at least it’s a start.

And to make it clear, the current Press Officer has decided to step down (and not been sacked, before anyone suggests it).
