Oh dear, that's not good. If Newcastle last the season they'll have done well.

With meetings postponed so no income and additional costs for major track work there has to be a big effect on a club's cash flow despite all the best efforts by the promotion!!

As far as any other rumours are concerned you only have to chat to the riders................

Poor tracks Medical cover Rider availability Injuries cost of living crises and escalating machine costs all seem to be part of todays speedway and yet we have tracks still operating up and down the country (except south east).

No one has the right to complain do they?

Can't really blame the current promotion for a shoddy job done in the past, sometimes you need to get to the bottom of it,,, not the wall, the problem!

Once again I need to tell you it was not a shoddy job. If it was how come it has lasted over 20 years of annual racing, and has only now appeared due to the lack on shale on the 1st/2nd bends.

To be fair I’m right behind rob he is the first to arrive and last to leave weather it be early hours of the morning and doing track work as well as everything else last year we couldn’t do nothing with riders as it was his first year this year he has pulled together a decent squad but he doesn’t need the crap he gets from people that aren’t even worth his time to be fair 

A decent squad!!!!! Its an awful side

Aye but Dave,,, ye cannot just keep painting over it. If it was nice and smooth from the beginning, you wouldn't need so much shale to keep filling the Cheddar Gorge, could've saved a fortune on shale over the decades.

What it really shows is Granty and his track maintenance Team don’t really know how to prepare the track ,if they though it was acceptable in the previous meetings too.He did say track was the same in the previous meetings.

Only took them 25 Heats, a couple of injured riders and a Cami Brown complaint after Humpty Dumpty's wall made an appearance for them to finally do something about the track.

Track was already being done dickhead shows how full of rubbish you are and the injured rider didn’t come off anywhere near cami said it happened he was that concerned about his rider that he went the opposite way to bend 2 not where his rider was in the first bend muppet now shut your rubbish when you have no clue

Much more experienced referees thought it was ok until the SCB come in this weekend to assist in the track repair

True but they inspect before holes appear,but the riders weren’t to happy.If it isn’t rectified properly could lead to a lot of discontent by riders and fans in the future.Hopefully it will be resolved to everyone’s liking.

Whilst you are clearly protective of Rob and the Newcastle track coming on here and chucking insults at people only paints the club in a worse light. Newcastle aren't the first or last club to have problems but sadly they do seem to fall into the denial/lack of openness approach which fans up and down the country see straight through.

No Craig cook wasn’t happy Lee Complin commented last night that it wasn’t as bad as everyone made out none of the Newcastle riders had a problem says alot about Allied carpets Glasgow tigers led by franks factory flooring they ride on dirt that moves not a sodding carpet

As I've said before......All tracks should be thoroughly inspected by appointed officials before each season starts to make sure they are fit for purpose from a health & safety point of view. 

If a track needs work to be carried out this must be completed & passed before the club(s) are allowed to start racing in a league under the BSPA.

I don't know wot checks are made by referees etc at the moment when it comes to the track but they are blatantly not enough.

Not at all if you want to start talking slander then let’s take a look at the comments that have been made about Newcastle and rob the promotion has been and always is open and honest with club related issues you have all seen the picture taken 6 mm away from the floor with a lens bigger than the rut it’s self which doesn’t show anything in a true light

So you admit you don’t know what you’re talking about “ I don’t know wot  check’s are made “ but have plenty to say how it should be done ?

The match referee checks the track prior to EVERY meeting, he’s an ‘ appointed official’ and each track is inspected prior to an SCB track licence being issued.

As previously stated in a prior post ( which you seem to have ignored ) the inspection will only show what’s on the surface not what’s going on underneath or what develops as the meeting progresses.

Now you do know ….
