    Yes but he didn't do a good job did he ?  He has very good at selling burgers/chips but, with his restricted investment in the team, even his food income dwindled dramatically and the usual queues quickly disappeared. Took us for mugs and both years he thought we would support any crap that he put on the track for the Diamonds. Now lords it big at Berwick wearing his Diamonds jacket. Oh the irony.     

    Dave I may be wrong but when I & jacki Campbell were having a meeting well sort of in the winter months when he took it on his plans were decent but unfortunately COVID struck which basically crippled his plans & I'm not saying that he would have been good or bad for the diamonds ( which in the end ) turned out to be bad but at the end of the day he should have suspended it until at least 2024 saved some money up & went quietly about his business & bought a plot of land to build a new venue & we would probably still have a team to support now

    szkocjasid, for information, a few years ago when Newcastle were strong, it was passed at the AGM

    of the Promoters that the Overall Team Rider Average could not exceed 50 pts, Ian Thomas didn't like this

    but it was passed by the majority.

    Ian found a way round this limit by using Riders who either had not ridden in our league for many years and

    were assessed at 7.5, or had been injured the previous season, after this the promoters lowered the limit to

    45 and this has now been lowered many times as each year passes.

    The main reason was they could not afford or get the better riders but were quite happy to have a bumper

    crowd when Newcastle were the visitors and hoped that their team would win.

    Sadly this year we won't be present at the AGM

    Where are you going to find 1000 people interested in Newcastle speedway ? Less than half that figure was the average crowd last season.

    May have got 6 to 7 or maybe 8 hundred in had the team been any good from the start

    I agree.. I was hoping maybe the Supporters Association would of tried to organise something, or at least put these ideas forward or any ideas they had. They could keep peoples money safe in their bank account to. 

    The thing with the NSSC they have tried to organise a few things over the last couple of months & the interest has basically been 0 the 1 being cancelled last weekend as it was put on FB & that's probably a factor they aren't getting enough interest as some of our fans don't have FB

    As Redcar is my closest track I'll probably visit a few times next year, hoping for some entertaining names on the team sheet, not too bothered about results, just want entertainment

    Ben Basso, Erik Riss, Charles Wright would be a nice heatleader trio

    Jordan Jenkins and Jason Edwards at 2 and 4

    4.00 Aussie at reserve, Jacob Hook maybe? (If Edinburgh don't run that is) Declan Kennedy and Tate Zischke would be really good too, but I'm unsure if they're coming over next year?

    This totals 38.00 so depends on what the limit is (surely not under 40?) it's possible, the limit just depends on who the final rider is...

    1. Erik Riss

    2. Jason Edwards

    3. Ben Basso

    4. Jordan Jenkins

    5. Charles Wright

    6. 4.00er? Hook?

    7. 2/3/4?? Depending on limit

    Any club who can get Josh Pickering and Ben Basso in the same lineup is the winner...

    Yes I realize this is very unrealistic, Basso won't be at Redcar, it's just a dream team I guess you could say

    3 & 4 won't be at redcar in 2023

    I fully agree that teams who do not complete their fixtures should be penalised but I don't think you can always blame the home team. There have been a number of times this season when it appeared that the visiting team refused dates, often due to rider availability. 

    There needs to be a central, independent office that compiles the fixture list. Teams should have to confirm dates they can run home meetings and any dates they do not want to travel. This would have to be done before the end of February so the fixture list could be issued before the end of March.

    Should start next season pointless even if they win there 1st 4 fixtures or even better start off minus 10 points & that goes for every team who doesn't complete there fixture lists ie league/ cups etc

    Douglas can't ride Monmore and can't see him being back - think he will be seeking pastures new of his own accord.

    Thorssell has been rubbish on the continent so wouldn't entertain having him back as he seems to be past his best.

     

    Jacob's best days are behind him now just like ludvig
