InfinitiDiamonds 8 Posted November 22, 2019 Hope this is true made my weekend. Always thought the club should get local bloggers/utubers along. The publicity by doing that would be masave for getting a younger crowd there. Alan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedway track at Ponteland - now there's a thought. Drown out the noise of all those planes - locals will love it!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
