robbieblackadder fan club Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Think it’s been proven over the years put a decent team together and you will get the fans through the gate, getting thrashed at home with a poor team isn’t going to make people watch 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Nobody wants to see speedway die in Newcastle, but at the same time,,, nobody, or not many, want to watch/support it'. Av read it ! Rob & not just him tho as promotions before him have had the same problems in the past about Sunday racing but could still attract a decent side that was well near the points limit & at least won home matches which fans were happy to pay for & I take my hat off to him for giving it a go but to blame riders for being greedy & massive amount of money for guests is not on.. it's said there's a rider shortage but he told me himself that he's got riders desperate to ride for him & that was last August so where are these riders well we did get starkey but this isn't a dist on complin or congreve but I would have had James & Max starting ( if averages allowed ) at reserve this season & used up all the other points available to build the rest of the team which would have made us more competitive certainly at home Edited June 30, 2022 by Justgotmecpc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Grant was (is) just useless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it fed back from someone down south who with some colleagues are trying to bring back another defunct club and the list has been hawked around a few people/clubs apparently... I won't be over in Cumbria until tomorrow night and won't see the relevant people until Saturday but I will ask the question... however with the folk I have spoken to I know of five clubs that have been offered this list and I won't be surprised if there are more than that or that Worky will be one of them also...

HectorRacing Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 What is upsetting is that there are some fans whom may not be online alot/etc newcastle speedway was everything to them, it got them out, it was their passion and hobby. Now sadly its no more and any bit of newcastle speedway is being sold off. im heartbroken cause i loved this sport, but im more angry about the aftermath! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
