Last home match you could use your phone would think it'll be same this time 

Well that's a massive well done to the whole set up at Newcastle diamonds after a terrific team performance against a very good Leicester side .. the track held up very well in the warm conditions so let's hope a few more stay away fans return for the remainder of the season.. remember the league isn't won on paper 

. Looks like rob has found a very decent reserve in JPB & that's know disrespect to Joe alcock as he will come back a much better rider once he gets a team place in the future

why do you have to book tickets by 1pm, surely you should be able to book right up to the start time? also can you stand near the pits are is that area closed for now?

What’s with this big thing about the hangers on ?? If I was management I would be more worried and want to know why there was 600 at the first meeting and only a reported 300/350 at yesterday’s.... Meetings that attracted quite a few away fans and both meetings that the hangers on did not attend so that  made no difference

I know different areas have different rules but you could also pay at the gate for the Scunthorpe v Glasgow meeting yesterday .. Also there is a circus currently being held less than 5 miles from Brough Park where I seen first hand on Saturday people queuing up and paying at the entrance!!

JPB certainly improved with each ride and is a definite upgrade from Joe”

 

If he scores 2 or 3 every match he’s doing his job, especially as the other reserve position is likely to be strong all season.

City council won’t allow pay at the gate and apparently neither will ARC

That should answer a lot of people's questions.

Once these guys pay their cash on the gate do they then sign in for track and trace (or use the NHS app to sign in on their phone)?

The original issue at Birmingham for ARC was once people paid on the gate a pinch point was caused in the stadium with fans having to sign in and social distancing went right out of the window...

If fans are being allowed in anywhere without using a track and trace system the venue are breaking current Covid regulations...

If this is the case it also shows the disparity in how different local authorities are managing the process... it also shows the benefits of owning (or having control) of your own stadium and not having a landlord imposing further restrictions on your operations

Great result and big performances from Mountain and Wethers which added to the expected score from Steve, not sure we can have him guesting every week but it would help!

Disappointed to see a Berwick youngster named as our number 8 but understand our Gems stance on that issue.

Track was dusty as our Trackman learns his trade but understandable, the lack of crowd was a worry as the rallying efforts didn’t work. Banning certain individuals hasn’t helped but it’s his club and he can do what he pleases. Not sure what the fund cash is being spent on but why put a limit on it ? If we are in such a desperate state then just keep it open surely ?

Having said that , having to put the begging bowl out is a very worrying sign, the landlords clearly don’t want us there, the COVID rules and theirs are too restrictive and the on line ticket sales is putting our aged supporters off. I’ve been to 5 other clubs this season all of which have accepted cash on the gate, even by prior arrangement so the track n trace rules are complied with.

Lets hope for in upturn in crowd levels at the next one .

A solution to the people who are reluctant to buy online could be to offer them an old fashioned printed out ticket which could be ordered and paid for in advance and delivered to them in advance so all they needed to do was to show ticket on arrival at the stadium. This would still comply with the restrictions placed upon Newcastle. Just a thought.

How would you order and pay for the ticket, before its delivered?

Maybe by telephone or at a pre-determined source say a shop. Dunno really but if it was a possibility it would be worth trying. Maybe put a post on here and on Social media trying to see if many people would interested, then take it from there.

Maybe a ticket office at the car park?
