Even if the stadium was still available at Perry Bar it surely was only a matter of time before Nigel Tolley got fed up with/ couldn't afford to keep s@unking hundreds of thousands of pounds propping up the Brummies? Newcastle closed because a very weak team was attracting poor crowds so the promotor Rob Grant Jnr pulled the plug. Grant was handicapped when he bought Newcastle speedway cause the previous promotion apparently left a large unpaid VAT Bill which he knew nothing of beforehand. This combined with Grants insistence on pushing people away who could have helped him to make the venture viable ended with poor end result of closure. - Without Newcastle operating this increases the possibility that a speedway team at Bolden, Sunderland could be viable but the same owners renders this very unlikely. Isn't there another greyhound track not that far away from the Sunderland area or has that now closed? The new owners of Sittingbournes Central Park promised previous owner Roger Cearns that they would accommodate speedway and not make it unviable for any speedway promotion to continue running. A huge rental hike broke all these promises and a very well appointed stadium in an area that supported speedway in good numbers was lost. Nottingham Greyhound stadium remains the most likely venue for a speedway revival in that part of the East Midlands other than a building a brand new stadium. -
I think Dan knew riding at Foxhall as a home track would only regress his career... Like it has Jason Doyle's...

Very good performance by our Tate in the Phil Crump Comp finishing 4th behind Lidsey, Becker and Tungate. Some very good riding throughout and was involved in an unfortunate collision with Bowes, leading to Bowes exclusion.
