scampispeedway Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Hi John, thanks for keeping us up to date with things at Brough Park and if it is true about the rental it would mean you having to get at least 125 people through the turnstiles to start with just to cover the costs of hiring the stadium. If all the equipment is slowly being sold and as I see it no riders that the club owns, how can any new promoter make a go of outlaying a lot of capital before stating that they are willing to take part in a season long fixture list Edited July 5, 2022 by scampispeedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another rumour that has surfaced is that 4 interested buyers now... but two run off when they heard the facts and the other two are apparently still mulling things over; however the clincher will be; and again if true... the rent will be £50k next season to hire Brough (which is apparently what Brum pay) For a stadium with no floodlight facility... Makes you wonder... Regards THJ 50k rent for brough.. that’s absolutely shocking!! Does that include new lights, a new track and an updated stadium like ?

HectorRacing Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 These companies making stadium rent expensive? Eventually they will probably shut them down as the dogs cant bring in alot? (I may be wrong) then sell the land for houses/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems some improvements to the dog track have been made, superficial or not,,, has anything been done to improve accessibility for fans, the road and carpark?,,, food for thought.

robbieblackadder fan club Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 They make their money from the BAGS meetings which are broadcast to most bookies the Ruben brothers own ARC and they are also partners in Newcastle united it’s a pity they couldn’t get involved and reduce the rent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t need crowds in and they don’t need to improve the facilities as most of the revenue comes from the broadcast BAGS Meetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfinitiDiamonds Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 It's sad to see the end of the diamond's. I believe we never see the diamond's return to B.P. rent is just to much The only way we could see speedway return to Newcastle is new stadium. But who's going to pay for that. Only way to make it pay is making it a mixed sports stadium. Community hub. all owned buy the speedway club rent out to different activities. The club would need to make money from other things to sapport and prop up the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCookie Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 It's a shame Newcastle Speedway is too isolated/small time to get anywhere at the racecourse. If they are going to build the training ground there then that would be football, golf, racing, 5-a-side all in one place. A proper sporting community, imagine speedway too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosforth Park is a lovely place, can't see 'Trevor' being best pleased if speedway types were to turn up!,,, probably still clearing up the mess from the 'Winter Wonderland' thing?
