I maybe shouldn't say this on here, but I've already turned down the offer of becoming Press Officer.

I suppose it is a poison chalice.

Thing is tho,,, what more could the promotion do with regards communications?

It's not likely to be mentioned on 'Look North' every night, or be front page of the Chronicle every day. I don't do Facebook or Twitter, but still manage to find out, (thru my limited technology capabilities), via the internet. Would you like a letter in the post or them to come round and knock on your door to tell you?,,, If you embrace the technology, you might find out quicker!

As for starting on time, well usually it's not too bad and, for always taking 2+ hours to run very debatable, unless from accidents etc. I have been attending the speedway at Brough regularly for the last 12 seasons and find the last 2 have been run pretty punctually IMO. :t:

As THJ says someone from the club who actually tells the truth on what is happening. You've got to think as well our fan base probably like most clubs is a very ageing fan base who probably some don't have mobile phones or internet access and the only way of finding out what is happening with the club is to buy the speedway star you'd think the club would make every effort that whatever was being printed in the speedway star had been checked, checked and checked again.

You've got the (supposed) number 1 saying one thing and then the club saying something else to then say what was in the speedway star didn't come from the club, well where did it come from then? It just smacks of being so amateurish.

Maybe the truth is there, whether or not folk hear it is debatable?,,,

as for the BWD article, it seems the club have issued a statement regarding it. Got no idea where the article came from, so is that the club or the speedway star being amateurish?

As I stated earlier, the clubs articles are now written by someone at the Speedway Star, rather than someone from the club. I think this kind of thing has happened before (incorrect reporting).  I don't think there is much communication between the club and the Star, which is quite unbelievable really.

'Incorrect Reporting',,, could lead to the spreading of 'misinformation'? :nono:

We can argue till the cows came home about what was said but it doesn’t get away from the fact that the team is poor, one way to get fans back on side is go out and make some statement signings people will soon forget what was said in the star by & by whom, as already stated by others they are out there

Andersen can guest for Wethers, so makes sense to have r/r for Starke, means everyone can get an extra ride.

It's R/R for Matty. Andersen guests for Starkey.

Struggling to understand why Newcastle have elected to have Andersen guest for Starke and not Wethers.

They have cost themselves a Wells r/r ride with that decision. 

100% agree makes no sense. Unless they are trying to lose?

I just find it hard to believe the Newcastle promotion / team manager could be that clueless about the rules, they'd be using r/r for the wrong rider & losing the chance for Wells to get a r/r ride!

Can’t afford to pay Wells for the extra ride maybe the answer.!!!
