Basically saying they were running at a loss of £4/£5 k a meeting, losses for Leicester meeting were £7000.00. certain riders were wanting £80/£90 a point plus signing on fee, a van , living expenses, mechanics paid for, flights and accommodation . Average crowds were 380 , 251 people for the Leicester meeting. £5000.00 damage from a storm. Guests wanting extortionate fees, guarantees or won’t ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what happens when you get into something you think you know about,but then discover you don’t.Maybe should have dug deeper before he got involved.He did give it a try though, much to his cost if everything is to be believed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stbendwinkoboy Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 If the Diamonds are to continue then a new venue seems inevitable. Check out sunderland-greyhounds.co.uk as a possibility. The facilitates seem first rate. Speedway was raced there twice. Difficult to tell if the track is still in place but, if not, could be reinstated. The team could be called the North East Diamonds and could pull in we die-hards, new fans from the area and its closer to Redcar than Newcastle. Worth checking surely!
