Weak team made weaker by the injury to Kerr. Bare bones support and not likely to improve unless a NUFC player turns up every week for a meet and greet. Hope they survive the season. Expand Kerr?

robbieblackadder fan club Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Seriously embarrassing now 28 points at home and 11 from a guest, 1 point from reserve as opposed to 19 for Redcar,why no guest for Starke ?? We are now a laughing stock and have been for the last 2 years, such a shame from a once top club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Nothing loses home fans quicker the a few home defeats and a home defeat like today does it all the quicker. Rob Grant has a few problems to answer, the situation regarding BWD, finding riders who can come in and improve the team etc. Easier said than done I am afraid.

TTT Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Not good for anyone when a club takes a battering. Not good for the fans of either side in reality considering you don't get your money's worth. Not good for either club in reality either as the winning team have to splash out big money on wages while the Home club takes a hit on punters not returning the following week. Not good for the Sport either to have sides that aren't even competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norfolk Bear Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 One of the attendance problems for Newcastle is that in the past they have had a good side , nobody else rode the track well so they were used to winning heavily, now that they are not the crowds do not take to not winning big easily. I really hope that they can get some riders in & survive. Speedway needs aM Newcastle is needed by Speedway, always for me they should be in the big league where the big city clubs should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSL84 Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Out of interest after all the hard work put in to sort the track out. How was the track today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boro Bare Posted May 29, 2022 Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 I thought the track was excellent. Deep but consistent. With it being deep it took a little maintaining but a huge improvement. On the flip side though any home advantage is now lost but hopefully riders who perhaps wouldn’t have wanted to come to Newcastle in the past will now give it a go. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
