    Well, since the new stupid rule of foreigners being on 5.20 rather than 7.00 exists... PLEEAASSSSE may we have Patrick Hansen on a 5.20 at number 2? :D With Ashley and Alfie at reserve, Ludvig at 4, Captain Robson at 3 and Rene at 5, leaving SOMEONE on a 8.52 at number 1 :) Thanks Santa

    1. Joe Bloggs 8.52

    2. Patrick Hansen 5.20 Our new Kenni

    3. Stuart Robson 7.02

    4. Ludvig Lindgren 7.21

    5. Rene Bach 7.53 Our new Rene

    6. Ashley Morris 4.88

    7. Alfie Bowtell 2.14 2.5% reduction

     

    Or maybe to keep people happy, Ludvig can be at 2 and Hansen at 4

    Maybe Kyle Howarth and Danny Phillips instead of Alfie? :D Don't think Sheffield would be happy lol

    You could be right 3 - 7 maybe tero at 2 and a new face at 1 if it all fits of course

    No that team with Kenny Carter was 1978. But you are right to say "1982 team", coz 1982 Team had Ian Thomas (Promoter), Dave Younghusband (Manager), Alan Emerson, Tom Owen (Capt.), Joe Owen, Rod Hunter, Keith Bloxsome, Bobby Beaton and Robbie Foy, I believe this was the strongest Diamonds line up ever. :lol:

    • Alan Emerson,
    • Tom Owen,
    • Joe Owen,
    • Rod Hunter
    • Bobby Beaton
    These 5 were in the league's heatleader class

     

    Keith Bloxsome was a high scoring reserve

    Robbie Foy was our other reserve

     

    I remember home matches went 5-1 followed by 5-1 etc but watching the team on away tracks was awesome.

     

    Our promoter was criticised by some for finding loop holes in the regs to assemble a team of heatleaders but really in the far off past when this awesome team were on track every track we visited had a bumper crowd because of the talent in the Newcastle side, so why criticise excellence when you are raking in much more cash through the turnstiles?

     

    I think the team building regulation averages we have now serves a useful purpose as we see closer scores and better racing than I remember when we were all conquering! But fingers crossed we operate in 2018 and we have a team like we had in 1982.

     

    It's all a matter of opinion which Newcastle Team was best but tell me a better line up than the above team

    my favourite diamonds team and year too i remember it well although i was only nine at the time me and my brother had our photos taken with tom and joe on track . Tom later signed it when he came to visit brough a few year back .our herors still to this day .
