NEWCASTLE DIAMONDS 2022

Recommended Posts

Well 2 days till the opening home meeting and not a single post since Sunday, Either this forum ain't what it used to be or a lot of Diamonds fans mustn't use it anymore. Anyone local heard a forecast for the day yet?

Newcastle have just lost a much loved,liked and respected fan, so maybe that?

Also, THJ doesn't get on here much these days, he was always good value for a few pages of waffle-crack.

Heard a rumour that the brand new floodlights at the stadium only cover the dog track and not the speedway track….. so probably not if that is true

Yeah we noticed that at practice day, might be a problem, and don't laugh, if our seasons goes deeper into the year

It's not a joke, I noticed it at press & practice, the lights are fixed to the uprights so you can't rotate them.

As erniew says, it's no joke.  I was informed a few weeks ago that this was the case and I didn't believe it at first either, until it was confirmed at P&P.

Why only the dog track? And not speedway? The owners not like the stadium being used for more then one thing?

worrying as season goes on and it gets darker.

The only way round it, as far as I can see, is start earlier than 4pm, to avoid the dark.

As to "why?" you better ask ARC to answer that one.
