In 1990-92 he Averaged over 9.5 each season for Newcastle (averaged 8.3 in 1980 and 6.6 in the ill-fated 1st division season in '84). Missed out in the 2nd Div Riders Championship in 1991 when beaten in a run-off by Jan Staechmann, after both had finished on 14pts. Top and consistent performer. The Mark Thorpe/David Bargh pairing was something to behold.

Olly Greenwood has signed for Buxton, who also ride on a Sunday, so you can rule him out. A name you miss off your list is Danny Phillips, who lives fairly locally and might be another being considered.

There's no way that we can compete financially with Glasgow (the supposed destination for Richie W).

Would there not be a lot of fixture clashes when Lynn ride on a Thursday?

Maybe he/they thought it was too early to go Poland? Just a thought.

I didn't see that one coming! Welcome to the Diamonds Robert. Four down, three to go.....

Dickie Juul??

Yes (Official website): http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100473

Diamonds Twitter account says, "Some exciting news to be announced tomorrow morning Diamonds fans #diamonds #speedway"

Just been Tweeted that "You Diamonds fans could well be in for an exciting couple of days! stay tuned" Whatever that means!

What happens when the 3pt NL rider is needed for the NL? This could be an added problem for Newcastle being a Sunday track.

I thought Rusty Harrison had retired?

Sadly, they won't continue.

That's highly unlikely (in my opinion, of course).

Matt Williamson for Workington http://www.workingtoncomets.co/news/article.asp?id=100584

Tero Aarnio returns for 2016 (announced at Dinner Dance apparently)

Not Redcar. Hadn't filmed there for about 5 years.

Sad news regards Bob Tasker (GRT Media). Passed away this afternoon. It was a pleasure knowing him and working for him. RIP +

Kyle already announced going back to Plymouth next season.

The averages listed on the website are last seasons (2015) starting averages.

Ludvig had mechanical problems all night. Came out on Stevie W's bike in one race (his last one I think)... but hey, don't let facts get in the way of the usual 'pop'.

16 apparently.

He just signed as an asset earlier this season, so unlikely he'll be anywhere than Newcastle?
