You're clearly either 1. A troll or 2. A moron. possibly both. I'm not blind to see that something's gone wrong this season and the promotion has to shoulder some of the blame. If I'm honest, one thing I am sick of is the promotion labelling fans who have gone genuie complaints as keyboard warriors and not having the back bone to take criticism. But I sort of get it when idiots are throwing stupid accusations like this around. It's like last season when people genuinely accused the promotion of throwing the Leicester meeting. It was completely baseless and didn't make any sense whatsoever. Much like if people are seriously suggesting the riders aren't being paid, you seriously think that would be kept quiet in this day and age? couldn't agree more, if people cant back up their accusations they need to be quiet 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I do think it could be kept quiet, the promoter could have said if you tell anyone your owed money you wont get a thing. stop being so naive . You make your old man look intelligent.

Taylorj 1,000 Posted August 17, 2018 Are Sheffield trying to keep their averages down with their season nearly over surely they aren't that bad of a team...last Saturday did flatter them at Worky, once the rain came in our boys knew we had the 3 points so took their feet off the gas, but they weren't that bad .

diamond@heart 399 Posted August 17, 2018 Well to say that result was a shock is an understatement. Well done to the Diamonds on 4 much needed league points. My only regret was I was not at Sheffield to witness it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlieboy 412 Posted August 17, 2018 Well done Newcastle fully deserved and made it look too easy.We are really poor at the moment but credit to them.It could have been more.Garritty was poor choice if he was injured,apart from one race he didn't look that interested.Slowed down heat one and allowed Robson a point,he almost broke tapes in his next then only tried on last lap in his 3rd ride.Why not get proctor? Dropping Lasse made no difference as he would have needed a 15 point max for us to just scrape a win .nicol seems slow and lost his confidence,shanes has made hardly any progress this season nowhere near what was expected,Conner looked good last time out and howarth and Kurtz did as expected.Andersson was on the pace but you are never going to get 10 points from a 2 point premier leagu rider.Fair play to howarth and steady for fronting the fans but I think mr bates should have come on the mic and explained the current situation ,he would get more respect if everybody knew the situation.If riders weren't getting paid I would expect Lasse would have tweeted this after his fall out with the club.

If that's the reason, if I was either the Scunthorpe or Sheffield promoters I would be furious Sheffield because in three rides he went through the motions and only rode well after we had lost the match Scunthorpe because for once they have a full time tonight, which Garrity must have put at risk by taking a guest booking while not fully fit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
