martinmauger 584 Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) my elation was cut short when me and my mate held a big Newcastle Diamonds flag up as the team came round and we were totally blanked. I was at Scunny one nite last year (not sure who won) and the away team did the same to their travelling fans; about a dozen all singing, shouting, clapping, cheering & waving flags, so hard not to notice, but their riders - nothing, not a wave or even a glance. Disgraceful.... Edited November 25, 2017 by Martin Mauger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

soupy 556 Posted November 25, 2017 woe woe and thrice woe! it's not nice being the guy with his finger on the button! Just do it ,You know you really want to be the first lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dantodan 314 Posted November 25, 2017 Just do it ,You know you really want to be the first lol Hah No! I want George to continue as our boss of the continuing but financially ailing Newcastle Speedway and not be the boss of the given up Defunct Diamonds, but if there are no funds for the 2018 campaign then we should close down with dignity and grace and be remembered as a great old venue. If closing happens, be assured that Brough Park will not be allowed to stage speedway again and where does that leave us? There are no other venues that speedway would be able to start up in. Â I know I am the only person on this forum expecting Newcastle to close down and I really hope I am wrong so come on Newcastle Speedway put something on your website to explain the current situation are we running or are we not? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

waytogo28 2,054 Posted November 26, 2017 I amy truly have missed something but did not teams declare that the were running or not at the AGM? Or were some given an extension ( not only Newcastle )? I feel that the 31st December has the a cut off date for so many practical reasons or any promotion. But I too hope that there is good news to cheer for local fans before Christmas - complete with Ho Ho Ho and George try much on the Naughty list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarletrider 66 Posted November 26, 2017 I was at Scunny one nite last year (not sure who won) and the away team did the same to their travelling fans; about a dozen all singing, shouting, clapping, cheering & waving flags, so hard not to notice, but their riders - nothing, not a wave or even a glance. Disgraceful.... One particular Newcastle rider has an annoying habit of completely ignoring the crowd, instead he seems to prefer to gaze at the empty back straight during the riders introductions. Much prefer the two teams walking out together and acknowledging the fans who pay their wages, walking out as a team, not as individuals. Please do away with the currant intro's and back to the old style parades......come out as a team lads - and give the fans a wave. Â "The Mackem" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mauger_Magic 17 Posted November 26, 2017 (edited) Hope the Diamonds do continue (I believe they definitely will).......but for reasons I have highlighted I won't be there. Edited November 26, 2017 by Mauger_Magic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dantodan 314 Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) I have no problem with George English, he has kept us going through thick and thin and mostly thin! For that, a big thank you, George BUT! the last few days have been terrible and no-one, George or any other in his absence has had the decency to inform the fans what is going on. NEWCASTLE SPEEDWAY? please tell us fans if we are operating next year! If George you have been on a family cruise then congratulations, hope it was fun, but what about the rest of us? we are family too and need to make plans for 2018 involving our holidays around the fixture list . So come on tell us as follows: Are We Running or Are We Not Surely the time has come to tell the most important people involved with Newcastle Diamonds (The Fans) the truth about our future  Visiting the official website is depressing as it is woefully out of date Edited November 27, 2017 by dantodan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
