So? That's him pushing himself for development, it's just stupid that he's been thrown into the situation of having to ride in the Championship, although I am looking forward to seeing him ride as I quite like the look of him (at his own level though)

You're getting into that, aren't you?

You can run out of likes on here? I didn't know That seems stupid... You're not allowed to like anything because you've liked too much in the past...

Haha, I'm glad you got it, but you don't have to sign in to edit it!! Wikipedia can be very useful for useless facts though .....Exactly... You seem to have misunderstood what I meant, I mean I didn't really explain it well, but yes, what the owners have done for Glasgow is great and I think they have turned a relatively unsuccessful team into one of the better team in the country, well done to them... But what I do think, like football, if too much money gets involved... It can ruin the sport, the big teams will buy the best riders and the small teams will be left with what is left... I don't think that would make for a very interesting league table... I would have hated to see Glasgow go bust, as I would hate to see ANY team go bust, I didn't mean it that way... I can agree that the rules and too much money would ruin the sport... We need just the perfect amount Enough to survive but not too much where certain teams become too powerful... How boring must watching the Premier League be with seeing the same 5 or 6 teams at the top every year (with exception of Leicester)

I assume that means I got the few things right, no problem

I just hope that Newcastle dogs don't decide to do it It's good to hear that we are still managing to pay rent and aren't struggling Tbh, I'd hate us to be the new Glasgow, as long as we survive, money ruins sport and I prefer clubs that just scrape by, adds more character to them and it shows that you don't need a tonne of money to win everything, the underdogs

But could that effect the Diamonds future if the new owners don't want speedway at their stadium? Equally, could it do the opposite and could we be the next Glasgow? It IS Wikipedia... It's not exactly a good source, you can add the 1964 team yourself Edit: The White Knight, I have added the 1964 team for you but I know nothing about them, so tell me if it's wrong

Don't think anyone is holding anything against him, I've thought he's needed a rest for a few weeks now,since the world cup finished... Glad he's been sensible enough to take some times out, rest well Robert

Deep...

Possibly, or maybe he just needed a days rest, only Robert will know... Is the King's Lynn - Somerset meeting on BT tonight? I hope Thomas H Jonasson and Kai Huckenbeck are riding, big fan of theirs...

For me it's either Wolverhampton or Swindon who'll win, I'd prefer to see Wolverhampton win because of Freddie, but either team would be good

Certainly helped me and my family on my first visit to Brough, we're always lost... Now it's only me and my girlfriend who come, my parents and siblings lost interest... Shame... They still go to their local track, Plymouth, every now and then, but never visit Newcastle when they're up here

You mean the world number 5? He's not exactly guaranteed number 1 this year yet either...

Hi dantodan That is very interesting and it's great to see that you've done so much for the club, I have seen the brown road signs yes, and without them, Brough Park might not be the easiest place to find, so that's a great thing I don't understand why yous would not be allowed free admission if others were allowed it, it sounds as if the Diamonds Geezers did a lot for the club. I try to scrape together as much money as possible every week to visit as many tracks as I can, to keep the 'speedway economy' going... And to procrastinate on my university work I wish I could put a bit more into the clubs I support... I have no problem with them getting free admission either, but a free programme AND a free friend too... Maybe that's just too much, why doesn't this friend help also? Why do they need to get in for free too? It's all a big loss of money, which the club probably needs... I would agree, any sniff... And I don't know how true words are, but people on here have hinted... And I'd hate to lose Newcastle speedway...

I just worried for my speedway team... I've already heard people say that the stadium is going to be bought out, and no more speedway, if the Diamonds don't have the money and aren't making a profit... What will the stadium owners do? I don't mean to disrespect anyone, or belittle the work that the track staff do, it's invaluable, but speedway is a struggling sport at the best of times... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_defunct_motorcycle_speedway_teams_in_the_United_Kingdom How many of this list do you think are down to financial reasons... Probably most I would say

I question... who's really the d### here? Is there such thing as a sore winner?

There are more people at Newcastle who get in for free through the pits than actually pay at the turnstiles, I've never seen it like this anywhere else... And the only two tracks I haven't visited more than once in England/Sweden/Denmark are Kent and Poole And that would be an extra bit of cash for the club... Speedway is a struggling sport with very little money... No 200 million pound men...

I have foil??? True... But if these people really did support the Diamonds, they'd come anyway... Even if they didn't get it for free... Don't group all of the Newcastle lot together just because one fan said something... I am not the voice of everyone from Newcastle

Would it just be cheaper to hire someone to do the sheets/red flags and make the current volunteers and their 'mates' pay to get in? Just a suggestion, I mean, the people who do the sheets could do the red flags..... And they wouldn't want to bring other people in for free... It'd be an extra few hundred quid through the turnstiles... Of course if the current volunteers don't throw a mood and stop coming..... Because they have to pay like the rest of us who don't have time to help...

Haha, no problem, I was just confused to if it was a stupid rule or not... Wouldn't surprise me that...

Rocky? The only Rocky I know is Robert Lambert...

But if he's contracted himself to ride for Peterborough this year... He should at least see that out... Especially if he knows Peterborough aren't allowed to replace him... I assume the extra money he does earn will be spent on paying off his fine anyway

Do you mean they will get a facility? Or will Peterborough as a club be in trouble too? Can't tell if this is a typing mistake or a ridiculously stupid rule... Neither would surprise me...

Ah I see, there should be a rule allowing the team to replace a rider if he's walked on them, thanks for the information though

Thanks for the information, I was just curious to see what life was doing for him, hope he still gets involved with the speedway somewhere even if it's off track Such a shame, I didn't see him ride many times, but he looked like a class act on a bike and he looked like he would be going far
