Byker Biker 468 Posted July 20, 2021 It's great you're getting this out there but the peeps you are trying to reach are the ones who allegedly don't have the Internet, how do you expect them to see the forum, press releases and the website with no Internet?

I’ve seen at lot of pigeons get released from PB. One landed in my garden, I went to grab the message, but at the last minute it spotted my mobile, it then squeaked into its miniature headset and took off. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully good for the Mason's Dreadful not being helped by the stadium owners yet again deciding at the vey last minute to ban people bringing food and drink into the stadium (on one if the hottest days of the year). Led to queues at the entrance and some very unhappy customers . They then closed the food outlet before the interval. !!!!! Note to the owners Your bar prices are horrendous. Your food is very poor quality and , very expensive. I CALL ON ALL FANS TO BOYCOTT BOTH THE BAR AND THE FOOD OUTLET IN PROTEST. This is the fault of the stadium owners snd is being done without consultation with the Mason’s but, it is alienating fans . if this continues, this will be our last season there were plenty of new faces there last night BUT these gains were negated by the fact that so many of the regular fans, just were not there I stress, it is the stadium owners who are making life almost impossible for the Mason’s who are operating with their hands tied behind their backs because of this . I can see them giving up snd walking away , just like many of the fans are doing . That first night is costing us dear but, many of the problems on the night, were caused by the stadium owners coming up with unhelpful snd, ridiculous edicts at the last minute, without consulting the owners As I said, the crowd was dreadful last night which is a pity because apart from the dust, the track was excellent . The racing and team performance was superb Hope I’m wrong but I worry this is looking like it could be our last season time to get a track going at the wheels project before it’s too late and we fold yet again Edited July 22, 2021 by the hobbit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm told and it's only heresay that there is a new Stadium Manager who is a complete tool. I'd be worried that we'll close before the end of the season at this rate as the Crowd last night didn't look much more than 400 max 500 to me and with decent earners like Bomber and Riss in the team I can't see how Peter and David can make ends meet. Track was much better, team was much better, Redcar were very disappointing but that's irrelevant in the bigger picture I fear. Very worrying and very sad.

the hobbit 152 Posted July 22, 2021 I’d say the crowd was nearer 400. The word I’m getting is that the new stadium owners ( could be via the new manager), are making life almost impossible for the Mason’s who turn up each week dreading what new, unexpected problem they have to deal with this week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
