StevePark Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 You've got a good un in Ash. He has served the Diamonds well these last few seasons. Good Luck to him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck to him. Yeah he performed well in our challenge meeting and hopefully he can stick a point on his average . With it been so local you you cant really blame him .

kitten2502 Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Mitch Davey has tweeted he's on the look out for NL/CL team places for 2019 - he wasn't given the 3.00 average required for PL racing...…. Would like to see him back at the Barr. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is hes starting PL average if its a 2.00 i would get him straight in at number 7 unfortunately would probably be at Leons expense although leon has said on FB today he is announcing some news shortly about where he is riding next year so at least he is sorted either way .

Brummie Kev Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Ashley Morris is a really good signing, a solid second string who has had a good few seasons up on Tyneside, so its easy to see why alot of Newcastle fans wanted him back. He averaged 6+ at home last year and for me hes more than capable of putting a points on his 5.44 average esp now the points limit has been reduced. David Mason said in the double page feature in the Speedway Star that all the team has been signed up and we be announced before christmas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he averaged just over 7 at home? he's definitely going to be popular around PB Fair play to the Masons.....their commitment to the Brummies is unquestionable, throw in the dedication and experience of Lee Kilby as head of commercial and we're in for a promising season.

So why drip feed the info ? Usually all 7 riders agree deals first before any announcements are done, it would be unprofessional to do so. Teams don't sign riders one by one and announce straight away hoping that they will all fit to the points limit in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 Does this drip feed of information happen anywhere else? Polish fans knew who was in their teams weeks ago. Why wouldn't Sheffield, Somerset and Scunthorpe want 7 newspaper articles if they thought it was good for them? Like many things in Speedway, this is outdated thinking, perpetuated by those who can't or won't move with the times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drip feed of information happens everywhere , just look at the build up of teams so far. For example Ipswich have yet to name a single rider but Chris Louis has confirmed he has actually signed four riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
