I also think although allegedly there was only 350 for Leicester, even though we were getting hammered there was still 550-700 for other matches with Glasgow, Redcar and Berwick bringing quite a few down. The crowds this season didn’t seem any worse than previous seasons really.

I meant last season as in arranging a meeting to get people together on how to keep us open. This year I am not sure how we would inform everyone of a meeting taking place as obviously a lot of the fanbase won’t be on here, Twitter or Facebook.

I agree.. something like last season needs to happen but it was easier to do with official websites etc still running to inform people.

I meant like more in ideas of keeping us open. Getting a proper meeting together. Contacting businesses and previous sponsorship etc. Or people who were involved in last couple of years might of tried to bring people together or have some ideas.

I agree.. I was hoping maybe the Supporters Association would of tried to organise something, or at least put these ideas forward or any ideas they had. They could keep peoples money safe in their bank account to.

That’s why I think paying say £15-20 a month over a period of time 3 or 4 years more people might be more inclined to do it, rather than paying £1000 outright. £100 might work but even if got 1000 people to do it.. it would be a good start towards a new track but would still need more funds and to find somewhere.

Haha.. Hopefully the driver has arrived. THJ at the wheel?

If only someone hadn’t annoyed THJ!

Got to dream and have hope… Probably won’t happen but who knows further down the line. Teams like Redcar have shown it can be done.

If only we had 100 people/businesses or whoever who could contribute say £80 a month over 4 years. That’s 385k. If guaranteed we could find a track I think some people would including myself.

That would be good!!

This is what needs to happen really it’s just costs for new track etc and how many would contribute etc. We would need businesses, fans, maybe even ex riders to get involved. Its finding the track and that could be the problem.

There was a message sent to members by email and then a message on the Supporters Association Facebook. I agree the older people or people not on Facebook / or who weren’t members would not of known unless it was in papers or on the forum. I was hoping there would be some plan of something going forward or hope to cling onto but it doesn’t seem like it.

There doesn’t seem to be any positive news or anything happening at all at the minute unfortunately

Why did you think that? I agree there didn’t seem lots of interest or wasn’t really advertised much either.

Newcastle Speedway memory night at Newcastle Benfield football club cancelled due to lack of interest.

I am sure he said before that he didn’t realise you could only use a tac sub once originally. Is he still away team manager for Poole? God knows who thought it was a good idea to have him as co commentator!

Still lots of people in the Rob Grant fan club on latest NSSA post comments section

We bought tickets in between 3rd and 4th tier. Tickets only £20 and can just sit wherever really nearer back as always tons of space.

Can you pay by card at the turnstile? Or do you need cash?

Totally agree.. He was with one or two others as well who were following him about and wouldn’t leave his side.

Definitely and to be strutting around Berwick in his Diamonds gear so soon after his shocking effort this year is a joke. Daft thing is if he pulled the plug last season no one would of blamed him.

It’s things like this that annoy you, no other club in whole of speedway would refuse any sponsorship however big or small. It now seems he went into the season with lack of commitment and if any problems he would just pull the plug, despite taking sponsorship money off others. Well done to Mama Potts for telling him her feelings last night… shame I didn’t bump into him so I could tell him mine.. oh and he now has an unofficial bodyguard following him around haha

Godfrey said it was unanimous decision.. yes ok Rob we believe you!

Re arrange it for this week.
