Regards THJ It needs to go on Facebook really about meeting in bar or speaking to you at some point. We really need supporters club or official Facebook to put something up to let people know.

A think it was announced that if this Sunday was affected by weather, next Sunday would be used. The statement released after Sunday said that the individual meeting planned would not now take place. The fact there is a planned track walk after heat 15 would suggest that that'll be it, (for now anyway),,, also a heard that they've bought a big box of fireworks, (from Hector, hopefully).

Why can’t Rob Grant take the mic on Sunday and tell everyone where we are at ? I was prepared to update like minded fans who are interested in saving the club as to where we are with coordinating a rescue package as requested by a previous poster to try and save the club which has nothing to do with Rob Grant but a tell ya what Keith poke it... you do it and while ya on get ya little pal English back because he done a great job didn't he... Rob Grant is leaving what do you want him to do get on the Mic and say just for you Keith am really really leaving... there are things going on behind the scenes that Rob isn't aware of and its English syncophants like you who have compounded the problem so either get with the programme and come up with something positive or shut your trolling hole and let some Speedway fans not suck holes try and save the situation... So here's the plan you get ya pension spent and take it on yourself ... I'll pay to watch from the terraces and then come on here and moan on about everything from the team the parking the programme the cost and the strength of the coffee and while all that is going on you run the effing club... Believe it or not there are some people behind the scenes trying to coordinate things so the club keeps going....

Regards THJ Ignore the idiots and clowns John, anyone who is still a friend with English after all this is a joke. Instead of asking Rob to go on the mic maybe Keith could ask his mate English to go on the centre green and be interviewed by John and Granty.. that would be good 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards THJ Why does asking Rob Grant to update the fans seen as a negative response … It was a genuine question .. Why can’t he address the fans after all the few who have paid to watch this season have managed to keep Newcastle going to the end of the season …. As for programme ( match day magazine) it is not just me who has said it is not as good as other seasons .. As for money I would hate to think how much I have put into Newcastle speedway over 42 years and other clubs with all my away trips over the years …. Your allowed an opinion so why can’t I ? And it shows how much you know me as I don’t drink coffee so why would I complain !! Edited September 18, 2021 by KEITH M 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
