Would like to say thanks for a very positive report there . I think the stats you used were very fair and very true . It' nice to see a report look at the whole picture not just the short comings . Roll on 2018 and getting settled at my new home over the first few meetings 

Regards wilko 

Thank you for the kind words about the report. Followed speedway for a long time and the Newcastle Diamonds more closely when I moved up here for university. I plan on writing more about the Diamonds during the season and I want as many speedway fans to see what I write as possible. Wish you all the best for the new season and hope you and the Newcastle Diamonds have a successful season.

Kind regards

Freddie

Ashley Morris won't be asked to be a heat leader.  He will start at reserve and maybe go into the main-body of the team as a second string.  Something he was successful at last season in the difficult number 2 spot.

I can only agree. I wrote the Morris article from a what if standpoint. Having Morris at reserve is an excellent option but I'm unsure what potential heat leaders are still available which Newcastle will sign :)

Anyone starting to become a bit concerned that we still haven't signed our last 2 riders. I know some will say don't panic. We will obviously have 7 riders sooner or later. Never known our team not to be finalised this late on.Will we get a number 1?

We'll definitely have a number 1;)

Not exactly sure what's left that'll ride for us with no polish commitments, is there anything in the speedway star today?. 

It says in the Star they are still trying to piece together a team for the start of the new season and have added Danny Phillips to the asset base buying him from Peterborough .

Well he’s riding for Redcar this year....maybe he wants to get over here and test the equipment he’s brought over :D

what is worse is that i checked the other teams signings before i posted and still didn't see it! I guess it is silly season after all and everybody is searching for any tenuous link to who the remaining Diamonds might be?

I appreciate that this is of little significance but if the promotion are going to provide team suits to riders again, they will be cutting it fine to have them made in time for the two remaining riders whoever they are.  I'm not sure how long suits take but it can't be a five minute job as they will have to factor in obtaining additional sponsorship for that rider I would assume, unless we are going to get two (1 size fits all) suits made with Other on the back!!!

Still waiting with interest like most other for who these two final riders are going to be whilst scratching my head to think who they can be.  I assume the reason why Josh Grajczonek has not been mentioned is because he is Polish bound?

I thought as much otherwise he probably would have been included.  I don't envy George in trying to get the two remaining riders, especially a number 1 style rider.
