    Just read the Rob grant interview in the speedway star.  Wow.  Takes no responsibility whatsoever. Blames it on Sunday race days and greedy riders along with Glasgow speedway for not wanting to ride on a dangerous track !!!!!

    Anyone able to post a copy of the article?

    I’ll be there either Sunday or Monday. Now that my dad has passed away I would even volunteer to be track staff.

    With regards to track location how about the open cast mine to the west of Cramlington? Being below ground level would mean no visual, and much reduced noise, issues. Being mined by Banks but due to end next year I think. The land I’d owned by Viscount Ridley(Blagdon Hall) if I remember correctly 

    The site will already have plans in place regarding restoration which will have been passed & agreed by the local authority, probs ponds with plenty of biodiversity. 

    On a separate note, if they are planning on running the dogs on a Sunday, would Rob not be better to just scrap this year (like Glasgow), save his cash and just return in 2021. I know everyone wants to see speedway this year but the sensible option might be not to have any and just come back next year with some money in the coffers.

    Here is a smile for Friday and a true story... (Cough Cough)

    The world's leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop.

    He asks the assistant “Do you have ‘European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2? I believe it was released this week.”

    “Certainly,” replies the assistant. “Would you like to listen before you buy it?”

     "Oh… That would be wonderful," says the expert, and puts on a pair of headphones.

    He listens for a few moments and says to the assistant, “I'm terribly sorry, but I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and this is not accurate at all. I don't recognise any of those sounds. Are you sure this is the correct recording?”

    The assistant checks the turntable, and replies that it is indeed European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2. The assistant apologises and lifts the needle onto the next track.

    Again the expert listens for a few moments and then says to the assistant, "No, this just can't be right! I've been an expert in this field for 43 years and I still don't recognise any of these sounds."

    The assistant apologises again and lifts the needle to the next track.

    The expert throws off the headphones as soon as it starts playing and is fuming with rage. 

    "This is outrageous false advertising"!

    "I am the world's leading expert on European wasps and no European wasp has ever made a sound like the ones on this record!"

    The manager of the shop overhears the commotion and walks over.

    "What seems to be the problem, sir?"

    "This is an outrage! I am the world's leading expert on European wasps. Nobody knows more about them than I do. There is no way in hell that the sounds on that record were made by European wasps!"

    The manager glances down and notices the problem instantly.

    "I'm terribly sorry, sir. It appears we've been playing you the bee side."

    Boom Boom... Bee Side Ha Ha... get it?

    Oh never mind have a nice weekend Stay Well and Stay Safe

    Regards

    Can someone who knows please have a word with the promotion regarding the new website.  It is fffffing dogrubbishe, the news articles at the top for a start, the images don't even fit in the space they are placed in, this is basic web design and I hope Rob Grant or Newcastle have not paid for this service.  Don't even get me start on the rest, I see the first error and close the site, I only went back ontoday to see if it had changed, Nope!!

    I appreciate I have moaned about this before but it is embarrassing. :mad:

    Practice Sun 22nd Mar. Press Day 23rd March, but keep an eye on things as this may change.

    BUT... in addition

    Facebook statement:

    Unfortunately, with the current global situation with coronavirus, we are making the decision to postpone the press and practice social event on the Sunday evening, until the situation becomes clearer.

    We have not taken this decision lightly but the health and safety of all our staff, riders and supporters is of our upmost importance.

    We appreciate your cooperation in this matter. Further details will be released in due course.

    Cheers Steve
