We're more likely to see an agt endurance round in Newcastle than we are a Formula E race

The irony of Formula E running in the coal city of Newcastle....

Not doubtful at all. Not that i'm saying a GT Enduro would have happened though.
A few years ago Supercars wouldn't have looked twice at any proposal for a street race in Newcastle, it is hardly a place they were targeting to have an event, especially to end the season.... |

What, 2013? When the Sydney 500 was up for a contract renewal and Supercars were still wanting to get that event working? Seems like a good time to air thoughts on a counter proposal from another NSW event.
Or the proposal from 15 years earlier that is mentioned in the article? A proposal that never happened....abit like how you or me could propose a street race in Broken Hill tomorrow, it's proposed but it doesn't mean its taken seriously. Bottom line is that when Homebush got cancelled, Supercars set their sights on Gosford, and when that didn't happen, they went for Newcastle.... third choice by the looks, and not where Supercars would have imagined itself a few years back, or wanted to end their season there, considering they consider themselves to be in the Top 5 of major Australian sports |

Evidence that a poll was held 4 years ago, someone fantasised about a track 19 years ago, and that Wayne Russell thought Warbs' comments was "****ing in the wind".
Hardly something worthy of "I rest my case your honour, and request the prosecutions scurrilous allegations be thrown out" |

I never said a Newcastle race was never proposed before or was anything new, all I ever said was that Supercars a few years back would never have seen itself racing, and especially ending their season, at a place like Newcastle

Yeah, a racetrack that gets used for 4 days of the 6 weeks a year it exists...

If it's me, I wouldn't care if Supercars ran through my loungeroom as long as I had good seats, but trying to place myself in someones shoes who doesn't like car racing, well, bugger that...
How would Supercars go if a local resident claims they are having a family reunion that weekend and will require 100 wristbands for friends and family...? |

Possibly - will depend on reality though won't it?
Right now the residents have had months of works around them, as the council pulled forward something like 5 or 6 years of planned works and did the lot in one hit. Once it's all done (before the supercar event) then it's done. Same with the works through park areas, they are still work areas but as it's all finished, the end result will be visible for the first time. Same for the various claims some residents are making about problems they'll have from the event. Once the event has been run, it'll become clear whether or not those claims are accurate. |
