I can understand why people don't want to spend their money, it's their money, they do what they want with it If I really liked a drink, for example, and they changed the ingredients in the drink, and I didn't like it anymore, I wouldn't keep buying it just because it was my favourite before, I would stop, same theory applies for sports teams, music, just about anything, so I can see where these people are coming from, me however, I know I will still love watching the speedway on a Sunday night And think it's still worth the money Edited March 20, 2018 by Dandelion 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you should have a name change to Winditin. For the record as well, I have been going since the seventies, through the good times and the bad times and want nothing but Newcastle to succeed and see them challenging for honours year on year but I am also a realist and know that it is not also possible. I don't expect us to have a fantastic team every year but like to see a team which I feel is worth watching and to that, I am not going to just hand my money over to watch a poor team week after week just for the sake of it. 16 minutes ago, Dandelion said: I can understand why people don't want to spend their money, it's their money, they do what they want with it If I really liked a drink, for example, and they changed the ingredients in the drink, and I didn't like it anymore, I wouldn't keep buying it just because it was my favourite before, I would stop, same theory applies for sports teams, music, just about anything, so I can see where these people are coming from, me however, I know I will still love watching the speedway on a Sunday night And think it's still worth the money Couldn't agree more. I love speedway and love watching it but I'm not going to religiously pay the money to watch rubbishe every week. Nobody no matter whether your a diehard or an occasional supporter wants to turn up to watch a team get turned over week after week. I appreciate that the season has not started yet and we do not know how well the riders signed are going to perform, but if you judge them against other teams, Glasgow, Ippo and Sheffield it does not bode well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idanthyrsus 96 Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) If that team were riding in the street I'd shut the curtains. I'm hoping the roynan rumour is a windup... Edited March 20, 2018 by idanthyrsus Typo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Dave) They usually do the Northern Team promo thing (can't remember its official title) on the Official Practice day on the Monday as well. This may have been put on the back burner with finalising the team taking priority. Hopefully the practice still goes ahead this weekend, weather looks OK at the moment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
