Personally I would rather have a bit of banter with the other teams supporters. I do when at Workington. Quite agree but the select few Bears fans didn't see it that way. I wear my colourful Diamonds jacket everywhere, so stuff anybody who doesn't like it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go enjoy it and come home. Life is too short to be causing fights n arguments over a sport. Cheeky banter at the meeting or on here is only pee taking between us all.

Whilst I 100% agree, in the interests of fairness it appears to have been the same in the past when Redcar have visited Newcastle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually always stand with regular Bears fans in the second temp stand after being invited to do so. We have some canny banter, winding each other up, but always go back to the same place next time. It's all a laugh. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a convenient statement. Reality is the fans I am taking about used to take over the area to the front of the Announcers box, and due to their language, swearing, drinking and the mess they left from their brought in food and drink, and child abuse seen they are reported several times and now that group doesn't come. But that's not to say they didn't come. The few fans that do come usually stand with the home crowd and just merge in. I know most of them so I know who are Bears fans.

Yearbyred 1,099 Posted February 2, 2018 Convenient? Sanctimonious tosh. boz was simply stating the fact that Redcar fans have been abused at Newcastle in the past. To suggest it is a problem just at Redcar is disingenuous on your part. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yearbyred 1,099 Posted February 2, 2018 “Try the truth” Even the response is sanctimonious. Well done Redcar on getting the 4’s anyway - thread has gone off track slightly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arson fire 4,785 Posted February 2, 2018 5 hours ago, Norfolk Bear said: Where do all these Newcastle fans go when they arrive in their droves at the STMSP, I estimate they usually bring about 50. Well if its only 50 there is hardly ever any room on the temp stands.... how will the place accomodate 8 other teams fans also?? Genuine question. Because if its the same set up then its an accident waiting to happen as there simply isnt the room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As has been said numerous times on this thread, the facilities will be improved and not just for the Fours. Hosting the event is not something the club took lightly and they did not accept at first, instead going away and making sure they would be able to get everything in place they would need. Parking, catering, viewing are all things that have been thought about. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I can be blamed for 'inviting' you Absolutely correct, though Its why my first two matches pencilled in this season were Redcar v Newcastle. Although I have made clear that I think Peterborough - after the huge success of the past two seasons - would be a better option, some of the comments about Redcar are simply not fair. Its way better than a 'dump' and although there were few visible signs it was clearly a different place last season after the departure of Havelock. I don't doubt it will step up again this season and, with a bit of luck, the track will get back to something near what it was like at the outset. It was one of the best then. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My comments are nothing to do with the track, its the saftey, comfort and facilities for supporters that i think are poor to be holding a shared event with at least triple the normal league match crowd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
