Diamondboy 677 Posted May 13, 2022 12 hours ago, Phil83 said: I think you mean rob and no I’m not rob I just think it’s crap blaming rob when he saved the club twice already having forked out a mint last year to make sure we had a team and I think you have a cheek to call yourself diamondboy try backing your promotion I have spent thousands at the club over the years so I am entitled to an opinion. The fans spent a “mint” last season on the go fund me campaign. Did that money not help save the club? The bloke in my opinion is way out of his depth. You only hear anything from him when he wants a rant or the begging bucket comes out. But you keep licking his hoop, I’m sure he will appreciate it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All you have achieved so far is to paint Newcastle Speedway in a far worse light than it already was (and to be fair with a club that is falling apart at the seams its saying something). Nobody wants any clubs to close in the same way as they don't want the sport to disappear but half baked efforts to keep a club going do just as much harm as good. Given the few who attend its unlikely there were first time holiday makers at the Newcastle debacle but if they were its highly unlikely they would ever attend any track again. Poor showings reflect badly on the whole sport not just the host club. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t make presumptuous uneducated comments on something I know nothing about. YOU, by your own admission DID. and whilst I’m being ‘ condescending’ and mentioning education, it’s ‘ WHAT ‘ , not ‘ WOT ‘ . And with reference to our intellectual exchange yesterday. The word 'wot' is actually in the dictionary so you had better educate yourself before you comment on my use of the English language! (peeing myself with laughter! ) Now you do know! Wot Wot .

In any line of business where customers pay their money then they are entitled to their opinions and I am sure Rob is big enough to accept that his position will no doubt bring criticism when things go wrong. The former promotion certain had regular criticism over the years. As someone who works for the club maybe a bit of professionalism should be shown by you, especially at a time when the club needs more supporter not less. As a forum for opinions then if you don’t like people having their own then maybe best to avoid reading it! Edited May 14, 2022 by Viper 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lbw 869 Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Whoever is in charge of getting things right at any club needs to get them right on the night. Whether that's the track, programme, presentation, stewarding, medical cover etc..... The fans, like myself, can make valid opinions whether they are educated ones or not. Wot we see on the night is wot we see & determines whether we are attracted to go back again or not no matter what explanation is given when things go wrong. All these wishy washy reasons given, valid or not, are not good enough especially when trying to attract new fans. Oxford was so bad, extremely bad with the dust vs Poole it was like desert storm. Do you think new fans wud want to put up with that each week. Never had shale dust & chips before. I've been going to speedway for 43 years & that was shocking at Oxford, I don't care even if they said something like we put x amount of gallons of water down blah blah blah.... It's all about getting the product right on the night, nothing else matters not even valid reasons!!!! Edited May 14, 2022 by Turnip 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
