KEITH M 850 Posted June 30, 2022 Newcastle Speedway update As of today Newcastle Speedway has had two parties come to show a bit of interest in taking the club over. However both parties have since pulled away once they realised the shear costs of operating speedway at Newcastle. We have been asked to start a clean up process at the stadium and the existing assets of Newcastle Diamonds Ltd. are being sold as we speak in order to help the promoting company, Newcastle Diamonds Ltd pay off outstanding debts and of course to start paying off all the season ticket refunds. If someone genuinely feels they can take Newcastle Speedway forward then it’s essential they make a move NOW and begin talks with the stadium and the BSPL to see if there is any hope of Newcastle Speedway continuing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What a pack of lies... honestly it's enough to make you puke... I was at the track the other night and anyone who wants the truth just needs to call round and talk to them and this debacle has nothing to do with them... they aren't making any demands and have no agenda as far as the comments made above... there is no pressure from the stadium... There are lies, dam lies and then there is the dross JER puts out on Facebook... Regards THJ 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regards THJ No doubt he is telling people who want to take it on that you lose 5k per week like Kearman is telling me etc! Not if you run it properly, get a decent team sorted then the fans will get behind you and sponsors will come on board. They were meant to have decent sponsors this year so I doubt they will be to happy! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I have 60k and can lose 5k per week put money where mouth is and stadium have ordered removal. He said with successful team would of lost 10k per week. No sites available at all and they had looked for 12 months. He hadnt seen me at brough on a Saturday night helping in the rain. I replied with I hadn’t seen him at brough for 40 years and he said he had came to help his friend so if I would like to match his contribution as a great fan get in touch with Rob . Then he deleted all his comments I put a comment on saying i know couple of people who had been to the track and there was no pressure to remove stuff. I also said that first year wasn’t his fault but this year has been a shambles, firstly with the team put together, felt sorry for smith and Bickley and should of listened to advice. These 2 will be putting off people wanting to help with their demands and telling them “well you lose 5-6k per week! Edited July 1, 2022 by Gaz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
