    Newcastle Diamonds 2021

    Max Clegg back. Good news but probably enough of the 2021 team returning for me.

    Josh Pickering please. I’d pay good money watch that lad go round on his own.

    Have you ever watched Simon and Danny trying to get around Brough?

    'They Retired Too Soon'

    Ron Henderson of Newcastle who averaged 5.8 in his debut season of 1975, increased it to 8.3 in 1976 then quit part way through 1977 to become a social worker back in Australia.

    Not sure I’d be signing too many more riders without knowing the league structure and who will run.

    Might even be prepared to be a trustee if that’s required.

    I can’t make it on Tuesday but would certainly be up for contributing to a fans trust. Please let us know what transpires.

    Delighted. As stated before I would sponsor a heat in 2022 and would also be interested in contributing to a fans trust run along the lines of Edinburgh. I also have a couple of slightly left field promotional ideas that I would like to discuss. Maybe if THJ organises that meeting I could meet up with the appropriate folks from the club.

    I’m not loaded but I can state now that if it runs I would sponsor a heat and buy a season ticket even though I can only actually attend half of the meetings.

    Newcastle v Birmingham (Champ) 1830 19/09/21

    Once again I can’t attend (isolating with COVID) but will buy a ticket online. Anything that might persuade Rob to give it one more crack. I would also sponsor a heat in 2022 if we beat the odds and make it.

    Devastated. Will keep doing the lottery.
  12. Diamonds fan passing through and supporting the Monarchs. Been a bit of a one line track up until ht10 but if anyone can find a way it is Josh Pickering. Great guy to watch and currently my favourite non-Diamond

    Can’t go tomorrow but have bought a ticket to add one to the headcount

    It wasn’t going to be a multi-million pound stadium. Did you ever visit Berrington Lough?

    Newcastle Diamonds 2021

    Devastating news. I’ve been one of the hard core since 1975 and struggle to imagine summers without the Diamonds. Unfortunately the Diamonds are not alone in being an unsustainable business and something really needs to be done to unify speedway from the top. I won’t hold my breath.

    Poole v Newcastle 25th August 2021

    If Poole don’t score 75 there should be sackings
  17. What is Batchelor doing at this level, other than making easy money of course? Nice to see Max Clegg back to 2019 form.
  18. This is true in the same way that Hartlepool have the same team building opportunities as Manchester City.
  19. I actually thought 30-60 but didn’t want to put that on here. Just shows the difference between a team with three heat leaders (not to mention a guest reserve riding like one) against a team with no heat leaders. Unfortunately, Newcastle heads went down very early on. I was hoping for a win against a two man Plymouth team even if it turned out not the two I was expecting. Good to see the decent crowd and hear the news that 2021 will run to its conclusion. If the Diamonds run in 2022 I will sponsor a heat.
  20. Looking forward to this. Expect Poole to hit 55 with their heat leaders but I think we have a chance of a win against Plymouth
  21. ARC will allow zero risk to the running of the dogs. That is their core business. Hopefully a better crowd next week to welcome back Bjarne
  22. JPB certainly improved with each ride and is a definite upgrade from Joe” If he scores 2 or 3 every match he’s doing his job, especially as the other reserve position is likely to be strong all season.
  23. Well that was great! what a find Connor Mountain looks like turning out to be
  24. Already got my ticket, sponsor a Gems heat and will stick some more into the JustGiving page but I’m retired and there is a limit to what I can do. Sorry. Come on folks. Save the Diamonds.
