No chance especially when the Ruben brothers own the stadium and contributed to the speedway woes

I just thought it was hypocritical of them talking about building sport in the city while assisting in closing down one of the oldest sporting venues in the north east, but it’s all down to money with them

The owners being a certain Rueben brothers who talk about the great city and how they love Newcastle but seem to want to close speedway down

They don’t need crowds in and they don’t need to improve the facilities as most of the revenue comes from the broadcast BAGS Meetings

They make their money from the BAGS meetings which are broadcast to most bookies the Ruben brothers own ARC and they are also partners in Newcastle united it’s a pity they couldn’t get involved and reduce the rent

Does anyone think there is a remote chance of getting new owners or are we just hoping for a miracle

Yes but we’ve heard he tried to sign a lot of riders and if what you say is correct why don’t they sign or does he not back it up

You probably only needed to add one of them to this years team with a decent reserve and we would have been competitive at home and kept the crowds, but no as THJ has already said Grant knew what he was doing putting a cheap poor team together banking on getting about 600 through the door to take the cash so he was trying to make mugs out of everyone from the start ive heard people calling him a legend to be an actual legend you have to have done something remotely legendary to deserve the title ……….the man will godown in folklore as something but it doesn’t remotely resemble that title

He seems to be doing his best to put of perspective new owners, can’t understand why ??

Think it’s been proven over the years put a decent team together and you will get the fans through the gate, getting thrashed at home with a poor team isn’t going to make people watch

What I can’t understand is why pay all that money to put a new track in to then close 2 meetings later,why didn’t he just shut up shop there and then hes starting to show his true colours now a total and utter charlatan

It should be made widely public about the air fence so that no one wants to touch it as it’s only going to be a speedway club that buys it

I appreciate you have probably had your fingers burned last time but I’m sure if someone like yourself was to get involved in trying to resurrect the team you would have all of the support of the fans and all of the goodwill and promises of financial help or support would still be there as we all want one thing a well run,entertaining speedway club that are good to watch and carry themselves with dignity and pride

Reading some of the comments on hear it would appear that he has thought he could take the supporters for mugs, made 22k from one meeting when closure was threatened and thought he could put a sub standard team out and the supporters would still turn up in droves because some speedway is better than no speedway and he would be quids in. the simple fact is all he had to do was put a team together that could be competitive at home and decent on their travels and the crowds would have remained as there was a feel good factor at the beginning of the season but that soon disappeared Rob has put his money in and probably lost a lot but to be fair most of that is his own doing

What about the likes of Dave tinning who has put up his hard earned cash you would suspect and a couple of main team sponsors where has all of their funds gone and the reputed 50k investment at the start of the season…..where has that gone
