mike7164 96 Posted June 14, 2021 Very sad indeed to see this, but unfortunately not surprised good luck to all involved especially Rob, as a lot of people at the club know I only support Newcastle speedway so this would be a travesty for me to see my club go under. Sadly due to my physical limitations I don't see me returning to Brough anytime soon if ever, but rest assured I am still as passionate towards the club as I ever was. Best of luck Come on Newcastle speedway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

erniew 163 Posted June 16, 2021 Just looked at the Just Giving page and £4200 has been given by 87 contributors. As the average crowd at Newcastle pre-covid was considerably more than 87. If each of those supporters who have not yet donated anything gave 1 admission price the target would be reached easily. Just saying! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dandelion 775 Posted June 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Richard Weston said: And a very generous one too. Money where mouth is!!! Can fit a hell of a lot of money in a space as big as that But seriously THJ is a godsend for any club... Brilliant of him to do what he's done, and we should all thank him for his efforts... But thanks to EVERYONE who donated, every little helps. I notice all the football teams were on Look North tonight asking for donations and going around with their donation buckets... And that's FOOTBALL, the game with the most money, who knows what speedway clubs are like right now, it's scary Next home meeting there better be some buckets going around, and the extra £3 everyone saved on their tickets better be going in... Please And who knows... Maybe I'll get my bikini and Finnish flag out just for THJ 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandelion 775 Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Just noticed Terrace Grumbler has donated £1,000 also Dunno who you guys (or girls) are in reality, but if I did, there'd be some pints being bought... Think Rob owes a couple of free roasts in the next meeting and maybe a free entry of two, can't hurt too much more Edited June 18, 2021 by Dandelion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted June 18, 2021 Gotta say, a great collective effort from the Diamonds fans and, fans from other clubs. Wouldn't want to single out one or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
