Danny Phillips and Lasse Bjerre complete the 1-7

Strangely.... I don't drink! I will be amazed if it's not Ludde and Danny, though, in all seriousness.

Tai Woffinden and Greg Hancock

Clearly things weren't going right for him last season (for whatever reason). IF he is our number 7, then I'm sure he can put all of it behind him and be happier in his riding. Hopefully supporters will get behind and support him, rather than slag the guy off if things don't go well.

They tried it a few years ago in the then PL and it was scrapped half way through the season because a couple of the reserves were averaging somewhere near 8, IIRC (one was Tai Wofinden and I think the other was Jon Armstrong, but could be wrong).

End of last seasons averages are here: http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/files/downloads/c18_issue_25.pdf

Lunna, Palovaara, Jorgensen, Clegg and Matty W will entertain, I am sure of that. They give 100% every race. Just because they've cut the team averages down, it doesn't mean that the entertainment factor will be reduced. That is just a silly, sweeping comment, in my opinion.

I make it 9.51 - Matty W 5.78 + Nike 5.63 + Max 3.17 + Thomas 7.66 + Victor 6.25 = 28.49

Welcome back Victor. Final two revealed at the Christmas Party on Saturday: http://www.newcastlediamonds.co/news/article.asp?id=100944

Apparently he has his own Tommy Gun - same title different song:

email to info@newcastlediamonds.co or if you're on Facebook message them on there.

Connor Coles final NL average last season was 6.53. In comparison, Danny P averaged 6.75.

Yep.. Director of Speedway Mark Lemon confirmed the clubs five remaining 2019 Aces who complete a dynamic and competitive septet: Steve Worrall, Dan Bewley, Dimitri Berge, Ricky Wells and Jaimon Lidsey.

Lewis Rose has said he will not be returning to the sport. Best wishes to him for the future and thanks for all your efforts whilst riding for the Diamonds. He has said this on his Facebook page: "So after a long time off from speedway this year after putting everything into it during last winter preparing I think was easy for people to see I wasn't enjoying riding at all . Was such a hard decision to stop at the time . But now after being away from speedway I've decided not to return to it .. I had a good crack at it during the 6 years met some great people and made some close friends. I had some great sponsors who I can't thank enough for what they did for me and for understanding my decision this year .. Work is going good I'm really keen and eager to get stuck into work making this new business a success and a good future for my family .. hopefully see yas about and keep.in touch with everyone.. but thanks again to everyone who helped me a long the way you all know who you are so thankyou Lewis rose 822"

It depends if he would miss many meetings due to all the international commitments he's likely to have.

Massive shock signing for Glasgow.... NOT!!

Massive shock (not)!!!

Now you're just being silly....

Which would leave just over 4 (4.04 I think) for the last rider. Wilko (3.96 - 2,5%= 3.86) perhaps?

So, the likes of Stevie Worrall, Robert Lambert and Stuart Robson don't cut it for you then? Just about every club (to have announced their admission prices so far) have bumped their prices up for next season, so we are in-line with everybdy else (as I said, so far). If you think that the season ticket price (and, I have to admit I haven't really studied ours, or anyone else's) is a rip off, then the answer to that is quite simple and I'm sure you can work that one out for yourself!! The league may have been "watered down" but teams appear to have built with a weaker lower-end and still the top guys, i.e. Cook, both Worralls etc., are still getting a place in the 2nd tier, so I think it's still decent value. Please note, I am not having a go! It's just my opinion, something I have always tried to do on here if I happen to disagree with someone.

He's listed now.

Danny P put on Twitter (and I think Facebook and Instagram) that he was all sorted for 2019. So he's obviously fixed up somewhere which hasn't been announced yet.

Some do it when they are (supposed to be) with an adult.

I doubt Bjerre will be one (pity you didn't mean Kenneth!!), he doesn't do Brough very well. I'd also doubt Lawson will head this far north for a team-spot. With the 3.17 (providing I've got that right) for Max C(with his 2.5% reduction), I think that leaves us with 23.80 (depending if Matty W gets a reduction or not, as that seems a grey area! If he does we have 23.95). Welcome Max.
