ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted September 3, 2017 That's a very good question I wonder why, could it be that Robert Lambert has more Polish commitments and Newcastle are now in a position with home dates available but no No 1. well, am saying 'upto now',,, can't see any on the website or SGB site, but haven't checked the ISLB site (if they have one) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andys 224 Posted September 3, 2017 Don't you just love loyal fans!!!![/quote I appreciate that this may be difficult for you to understand, but please try: sometimes loyalty can be strained. We have held season tickets for 18 years and today is the first match in all that time when I have been able to go, but will not. I am not very happy about that, but it is the way I feel. I hope that it is a decent match tonight for those who do go: however, I will vote with my feet on this occasion. Not difficult at at all, all I'll say is hope you enjoy x factor when you could be watching and supporting the club when theirs backs are against the wall. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike7164 96 Posted September 5, 2017 I see on the Newcastle website the fixture on the 17th has been changed from Sheffield to Redcar so the Bears turn down a double header on the same day to do exactly that on different dates? makes no sense at all IMO!

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious but what are they doing on different days which is the same as the double header scenario? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

northyorksbear 610 Posted September 6, 2017 Consecutive home matches matches! OK - thanks I can see where you are coming from, but, imo, there is a big difference in riding two meetings on the same evening and two meetings two weeks apart! Granted it is not ideal, but we are now into silly season when most tracks are trying to fit in fixtures which should have been held earlier in the summer - ironically clubs are now agreeing to ride with top riders missing which was most probably the reason the meetings were not organised back during the "proper season"!

Mad Max 216 Posted September 6, 2017 Consecutive home matches matches! If that was a typo - sorry for pointing it out, if it was intentional - very very good good 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's agree to disagree. I'm pleased we won and in retrospect it would've been good to have been there, but hey ... that was how I felt at the time. Onwards and upwards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
