He makes me fill with hate now. Sundays are not a day of rest? Was always the newcastle term. Now they are. Miss my speedway team. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they are going to build the training ground there then that would be football, golf, racing, 5-a-side all in one place. A proper sporting community, imagine speedway too? Someone should ask Semore Kurdi if he’s interested. Already owns 2 sports clubs in Newcastle Falcons RU and Newcastle Thunder RL. Owns Kingston Park stadium and 37 acres of land surrounding it so plenty of space for a speedway track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure it does, however I believe even if the takeover went seamlessly Grant would still have blown it, he was/is clueless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last owner was the only one who was willing to give it a go and unfortunately lost a lot of money running for two years before cutting his losses and closing the Club mid season. Not strictly true. He had the option to move it on and get out last yr but he panicked that someone else thought they could make it pay and in his naivety he thought he could do it. The night after he was approached he announced he was carrying on and never even went back to let the frontman of the people who wanted to take on the club know before the announcement. Now the club is in such a sorry state, no one will do it now. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
