Win 46-44 on Sunday and the icing on the cake.. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But for god's sake I know the team are struggling at the present time but if fans want speedway at Newcastle keep turning up if we win or not coz if the fans don't turn up & the club promotion can't afford to run it & it closes.. that's the end of the diamonds so let's get behind Rob & his hard working staff & keep speedway alive at Newcastle 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But its still the same team and no number 1. Sometimes its nice to be frustrated at the team you support. Becoming the norm to see other teams celebrate with their fans here 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor crowds turning up to watch the Diamonds and then their promotion having to pay out 60+ points for the meeting Then each club should think about that before allowing such disparate level of capability to be in place in the same league.. And also consider if it is a good idea to allow clubs to choose when to use a guest and when not to... (All the clubs 'amazingly' seem to find a guest for home matches dont they?) More self inflicted nonsense that can only dissaude attendance rather than encourage it, and so easily fixed if as a collective they wanted to do so... As, lets be honest, it isnt like it isnt obvious that certain teams wont be crowd pullers away from home, and that home teams will then pay out loads of points money when these teams visit.. Because the same thing has happened for donkeys years... With these teams often highlighted pre season by fans with even just the slightest knowledge of the sport..

Easier to find a guest on a Sunday (providing they aren't riding abroad) than on a Friday when 8 out of 11 teams are riding, though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to think through the mist of time, for all teams, that whatever night you ride on at home, it always seems easier to find a guest than when you are away... Unless of course you are in the running for the play offs or title... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
