Fortythirtyeight Posted November 20, 2022 Report Share Posted November 20, 2022 On 11/19/2022 at 7:58 PM, scampispeedway said: Steve, is it not in the rules now after Terry Stone opened Newport Speedway on his own and things were left in a mess when died suddenly, to safe guard this happening again, there must now be at least one other promoter who holds a Promoters Iicence named as Joint Promoter. This ensures that if something happens to one of them, there is always a backup Promoter to carry on with general running of the club.. There are a number of examples of only ONE promoter being at a club, you only have to look down the road at Redcar who have only had one on a number of recent years under Havelock and his follow up Keay. And before anyone mentions it CVS was not a promoter but a director as the rules did not allow you to ‘promote’ at more than one club but then we know how rules can be interpreted in speedway .

'rules' is also an anagram 'lures'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your local Tesco's Sainsbury's Asda all sell them but if you can wait until the postie brings it you can save on the laughing gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently our number 1 got injured at the start of the season and hence our downfall. No mention of him getting a real injury almost 2 years ago in the GP qualifier at Glasgow. We signed him injured full stop. Agree about us missing Weathers, but no mention of how many team managers we went through, or the number of times Grant overturned Steve's decisions. All gone now and the least missed person will be Grant. Edited November 25, 2022 by Tsunami 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Any Diamonds fans out there inspired to do a Worky? I know land is a problem, but most fans have shovels in their sheds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shovels aren't the problem but, it's getting the land in the right place and at an acceptable price that will be acceptable to the authorities to run speedway on.

HectorRacing Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 I’ll still follow berwick and redcar but cant travel to them as often as i like. Fuel costs/etc. hence why i’m still missing and sad over what happened to newcastle. if i had money, id love to find land and restart this team. But now any land which is around, owners/council only seem to agree with houses, student flats, more student flats and more student flats. ideally like someone said ages ago seaton burn would have been a decent spot. Yes its on the outskirts of newc but still it would have meant speedway. but aye, we long dead now. Nothing seems to be said about our team.

scampispeedway Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 HectorRacing, Seaton Burn never had a chance of getting of the ground as it is ear-marked for Business only not any Sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at what happened up the road ( Edinburgh ) thought they had a brand new exclusive venue for the team & along came ( bob or is it jock the builder ) and offered more lolly so that project was chucked on the scrapheap so I doubt very much speedway will return to our area nowadays which is a massive shame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
