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. 1 hour ago, Fromafar said: Big win for the Bears. Where they on at like?

erniew 163 Posted April 2, 2022 It's not a joke, I noticed it at press & practice, the lights are fixed to the uprights so you can't rotate them. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HectorRacing 51 Posted April 2, 2022 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
