Jobs a good un Do you not think a press release was sufficient saying he’d had enough and was not willing to run next year? He also thanked the fans. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards THJ Maybe a post or poll or something similar could be started/posted for fans who are interested in the idea who may not be able to attend the speedway meeting( Covid,work commitments) or indeed not make it upstairs. Maybe people just commenting that they’re interested? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards THJ This is all getting very personal and maybe the font of all knowledge should write an in depth, no holds barred synopsis of the wicked wrongs committed by the previous promotion. It would only carry any form of credence of course if it is was signed by the individual concerned in their own name rather than the insidious invitations to come and hear it in person as it really was. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Justgotmecpc 1,059 Posted September 18, 2021 If only people knew how Mr Newcastle speedway ( George ) ran it & never mind the VAT carry on & also his co promotion team .. I think fans would think hang on here what's been going on .. & Rob had to find out the hard way after some of the MOTHS came out the Newcastle speedway closet... So shame on the previous promotion for letting Rob grant to sort all your s@@te out.. it's a pure disgrace & I hope yous get what it coming to yous 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And as much as the attendances have been low this season, not having freeloaders getting in has been one of the positives. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StevePark 2,781 Posted September 19, 2021 IT is with great sadness that British Speedway Promoters Ltd has been informed of the passing of Dave Tattum. Dave was a loyal and long serving promoter at Stoke Potters for many years and joined Newcastle for the planned 2020 season. A well known figure throughout the city of Stoke-on-Trent, Dave was a hard working individual who could be seen at Loomer Road working on the track and facilities around the clock. We have been informed he passed away in the early hours of this morning following an illness which he battled with immense courage. Our thoughts are with Dave’s family and friends at this most difficult time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
