Nicki Barrett is signing number four http://www.workingtoncomets.co/news/article.asp?id=100421

Richie Worrall available from Ipswich......

Certainly 1 of those. Both are under Lewis's average.

http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100350 Interview with Lewis Rose. I particularly like the bit where it says he will be "starting as a reserve" in 2015.

Here's a bit of a clue for everybody. Newcastle signed Danny KIng. His EL average was 6.71. He started on a PL average of 11.18. 6.71 divided by 0.6 = 11.18333.

That would be a start... But, as you know.. "The old days were better"

Missed a season through injury

saving £??

What the National League is and what it should be are (and always has been, even in the Conference League days), sadly, two different things.

If a rider gets off his bike to 'garden' in 2015, the referee will exclude/disqualify the rider Missing riders average +5% for the guest

Glasgow await in the 2nd Round.

Those who can't afford £20 will stop going, so how would that "make no difference"? We should be trying to attract new fans, not getting rid of the current ones.

So (without their own track to race on don't forget) Cradley either don't run at all, or go PL or EL and possibly go bust in the process? The NL always has been effectively 2 leagues in one, with the likes of Cradley, in recent times, having a different agenda to say Scunthorpe (and I'd guess Rye House in 2015). It's just that Scunthorpe (in my opinion) went to the extreme with their 2014 line-up.

Where will the extra riders needed come from?

Yeah... that'll get the fans flooding back..... People are already saying it's overpriced as it is, yet you want the majority to pay £20? Good Luck on that one.

Robbo was very upset about the rumour that he was not coming back next year, when Roy interviewed him after the last match of the season. Unless things have changed, I'd guess he still would be upset.

I make it 9.17 (5.50 EL ave).

What you may be overlooking though, that is 20 more meetings for those who are riding in 3 leagues. That's a lot to ask, when you consider some riders are complaining they are tired by the end of August. Also, some clubs failed to complete their fixtures this season!

So, assuming 13 teams come to the tapes in 2015, you reckon 48 matches in the league next season? Good luck with that one.

No, certainly not. I would never put any inside info on here. It is just my opinion. I could be totally wrong (has been known!).

Lewi loves it at Newcastle and I'd be surprised if he didn't come back, that it would be his decision, more the club not wanting him. But I would be very surprised if Lewi isn't back in 2015.

Agree with you Paul. Diamonds got Belle Vue in 1992, losing 39-51, but we had to go with R/R for Scott Norman. I think Glasgow got Reading, did they not, with Todd Wiltshire, David Mullett, Ray Morton et al? The other thing is, as to the 3 leagues all in a hat suggestion, is the arguments as to who would ride for which club, with all the doubling up/down/sideways/diagonally! It makes the whole idea a non-starter.

And how many would turn up to, say, Wolverhampton (EL) at home to Scunthorpe Stags (NL side)??

Next weekend - which is why the Supporters Club have arranged the night at the PTE Club on Mon 17th. any fans of the diamonds who want to no what went on at the agm get along to the pte club in byker on the 17th of November,, never mind watch'n the soaps come along and get the news off George and support the race night as the more fans who turn up can spread the word of the plans for 2015 which may get a few fans back to brough
