I don’t really condone that however Grant has made absolutely no effort to contact the season ticket holders, he has a mailing address for them after all. A note to say what is happening would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond_Delight Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) To Whom It May Concern Newcastle Diamonds Limited (“the Company”) I have been asked by the Director of the Company to assist with putting the Company into Liquidation and wind up its affairs. The Company ran the Newcastle Diamonds team from the Newcastle Greyhound Stadium, taking part in the Championship League. The Speedway Team will not take part in any more events. The main reasons put forward for the situation are reducing crowds leading to losses and the need to cease activities to avoid further losses. British Speedway has been advised of the situation. Parties owed money by the Company will be contacted separately shortly, including season ticket holders. Such parties can send an initial email to me with details of their what they consider is their claim against the Company. If customers paid by card, they may be able to make reclaims from card providers. You should contact them to confirm what they need from you. The director wishes to pass on his upmost apologies and considers that he did everything he possibly could to keep speedway alive at Newcastle, but with dwindling crowd levels well below breakeven left him little choice but to cease trading.

Diamondboy Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) What a pr!ck, took the go fund me money, and ran the club into the ground with his arrogance and incompetence. Now rips the season ticket holders off, what a legacy he has left. Edited July 28, 2022 by Diamondboy 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had bought an adult ticket and a senior citizen ticket for my father. Not entirely sure what refund I'm entitled back and even whether it will be what I'm fully entitled to. Maybe someone can work it out. Not sure how many matches were left etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondboy Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 It could be asked of the liquidator if the business was run knowingly insolvent and was the go fund me money put into the business. If debts are run up when failure is inevitable then questions should be asked. However the liquidator will not do anything if they only get the minimum statutory charge. They won’t be bothered.

Yeah not expecting anything to be honest. I wouldn't normally reveal figures but i also put 300 quid into the go fund me so i feel quite let down to be honest by Mr Grant. Hope he can sleep easy at nights. Absolute scumbag. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scampispeedway Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 I did think about going to the Northumberland Show at Bywell that was advertised to take place on the 3/06/2022 when the Club would be putting on a display. As it happens I didn't bother because of the distance to get around all the displays and being outside for such a long time, looking on FaceBook they did have some footage of the Club and only Max Clegg and James Wright had their bikes there and they went around for a few laps on the grass, which has no comparison to riding a shale circuit but I suppose it was the best that could be done on the day. I don't know how many of those people who attended had ever seen or heard of Speedway and then were interested in going to Brough Park the next Sunday but I have my doubts many would bother once the total price of taking a family on a regular basis were carefully looked into.
