If Sunderland + ARC = a little yellow face and a wagging finger and Newcastle Greyhound Stadium is the exact same equation why are you stating on here that people should talk to the Stadium owners? You need to stop talking to JER because you will be sucked in by the Lies and then sold short... I know and have the tea shirt to prove it... I could give you last years conversation with JER we had on the track after the Birmingham meeting with regard to the stadium owners and their view on who or more pointedly who they would not allow to take on the club and run from their stadium but you don't like long winded posts... 1 minute ago, ruffdiamond said: and am sure you know it was?

Ok John, that little comment on the Sunderland dogs thing, was more of a 'beware' thing. I would/will make a personal apology to anyone that could run speedway at Brough Park (under current restrictions) and make a success of it.

If I have 60k and can lose 5k per week put money where mouth is and stadium have ordered removal. He said with successful team would of lost 10k per week. No sites available at all and they had looked for 12 months. He hadnt seen me at brough on a Saturday night helping in the rain. I replied with I hadn’t seen him at brough for 40 years and he said he had came to help his friend so if I would like to match his contribution as a great fan get in touch with Rob . Then he deleted all his comments I put a comment on saying i know couple of people who had been to the track and there was no pressure to remove stuff. I also said that first year wasn’t his fault but this year has been a shambles, firstly with the team put together, felt sorry for smith and Bickley and should of listened to advice. These 2 will be putting off people wanting to help with their demands and telling them “well you lose 5-6k per week! I seen him talking to Newcastle riders in the pits during meetings thinking to myself What is he actually saying to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards John I feel sorry for the new sponsors to be honest as they must have put a lot of trust in Grant regarding team building and i assume they perhaps didn't know too much about Speedway as i wouldn't have been happy with the team that was put together. It was obvious from day one that anyone with half an idea knew that team wouldn't be competitive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaiting signing posts/etc then hoping we get a lawson, kerr, worral in and a good 5, but as the days went on it was looking not likely. Then the post about how our next man in will be good/points wise. Lee complin? Ive only followed speedway for 10years and i was like who that? but i agree way early in the season when it started it didnt look good. Events down at redcar, then our number1 injured for ages and ages and ages and ages and ages. all we needed was to build a team with fight but nope (no offense to the riders we got) im still newcastle through and through and went to every home game evem though it was painful to watch defeat after defeat. its sad we probs may never see speedway again here. I will go watch berwick/redcar when i can but its not the same when it aint your team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justgotmecpc Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 6 hours ago, ruffdiamond said: Yeah but John, at least the Edinburgh project looks like it will be a proper stadium. Not just some old field with some mud hills on it and a couple of makeshift scaffold seating areas? So maybe a 150k budget might get something started, like what has happened at Northside?,,, 'Dream of less and you could end up with more'. BTW, a wonder if the Edinburgh project, when finished, will look like the picture? Wonder if the old field topsoil will be any good for me garden borders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stbendwinkoboy Posted July 1, 2022 Report Share Posted July 1, 2022 5 hours ago, scampispeedway said: Hi Steve, a look at the Sunderland Greyhound stadium site and returns the following information, the Greyhounds run every week on the Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so that leaves only Friday and Saturday free and I'm sure BSPA would not want another track running on either of those days. Just to clarify a couple of comments on Sunderland. Mike Parker closed it in 1964 so he could bolster his other teams viz. Ken Sharples came to Newcastle with Jim Airey and Gordon Guasco going to Wolverhampton. It operated 1971-4 which were the years when Newcastle was closed. And that's nearly fifty years ago - there could be a new clientele out there. As for today, it is correct that there is racing on Sundays but that is from 10.30 and over lunchtime not in the evenings. If it was to reopen - as I suggested as the North East Diamonds (not Sunderland Stars for heavens sakes!) - then access to the track could be possible on the Saturday. Beggars can't be choosers here and it is an assumption that the owners would not allow the relaying of a track. Just saying that it's worth checking out given that we haven't got a lot of options right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
