Aceslider 218 Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Hey guys, I know there's a bit of pee taking going on here, but give Steve a break, he keeps us grass roots supporters up to date in the absence of official statements from Rob's PR department ().

Winditon 233 Posted July 16, 2022 4 hours ago, screm said: Taken from Facebook. Newcastle Speedway has now been officially asked by the stadium to remove all speedway related items as soon as possible, which we will be adhering to. This is a timely reminder to any individual or consortium who may have aspirations to breathing new life into the Diamonds and keeping the club going to please consider your position without delay and contact the relevant people as soon as possible as were are in a critical section of Newcastle Speedway's long history. If there is a genuine lifeline it needs to be activated. An announcement on season ticket refunds wouldn't go a miss 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Originally the money was coming from other businesses.. they really do struggle to remember what they said a few weeks ago Bunch of crooks!

scampispeedway 67 Posted July 17, 2022 If it is true and Brough Park wants to clear all the stuff that had anything to do with Speedway, would they make anybody welcome if they tried to bring the sport back to Newcastle and re-clutter it back again. I can pop into Brough Park in a month or so and see if anything remains of the time Speedway was run there and have a look at the general look of the Stadium..

I am afraid if there isn't enough money in the club to reimburse its customers then Rob Grant will need to get the wallet out and pay, he was happy to take the fans money over the winter when offering a season full of racing so should take the responsibility now Newcastle cant complete the season. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
