Is there a payment now on offer?

I believe he's not riding in Sweden this upcoming season

The same reason that Woffinden has possibly, Lindgren not riding in Sweden seems to have led to suggestions he might be back here but I've seen nothing to suggest it

I don't believe that the BSPL would permit registration of a new Peterborough speedway without the consent of the existing owners It used to be for a number of years I think but not sure on the current rule

I hope Freddie signs but I can't see it

Looks reasonably solid to me depending on what Magic might produce. I'd say its a Wolves type team, contends for the play offs but won't win them

He's been linked with Brum

That idea is exactly what should happen albeit there would possibly need to be additional clauses inserted dealing with the possibility of the consortium starting at a new site within an agreed time frame In terms of your first point it's entirely plausible that he's given the consortium his price and they aren't prepared to pay it hence the impasse

That option is available to anyone if they can reach an agreement with the planners to do so, alternatively they can withdraw and resubmit or appeal the original decision

Would you love him if Bewley and Kurtz left and he was announced as your new no 1?

300 is a fair percentage of the Wolves attendance, I think that might be pushing it to expect that many to be regulars at PB. Its not on the doorstep, it's an horrendous journey in rush hour and the parking/viewing at PB isn't the best. Possibly the first meeting or two due to the novelty factor but it'll need to be good and the team competitive to stand any chance of getting people back regularly

I'd be very surprised

Any news on the talks between Busty and the Consortium?

Agreed Rosco should be the team manager, he's always said though that he has to be involved in team building or its not for him, he doesn't operate on the same basis at Middlo

The top 2 riders posted there are heavily linked with Kings Lynn and Leicester respectively

Zagar would be a good 3rd heat leader. I've no idea where they'll get a decent number 1 from

Douglas at Leicester

Steve Worrall must be nailed on

Replace Nicholls in the Premier team with a number 1 and it might work. Would people still pay to watch a championship team though? It's intriguing

The lower end of that figure at best I'd say plus they won't stick around if the team is pants irrespective of the likes of Lindgren I don't think having Adams would put a single person on the gate and he's already said he won't be going there

He's ok as a 2nd/3rd heat leader but not a no 1

Depends on how season tickets might work

I don't think the likes of Becker or Worrall would make a huge difference, I think there might be a handful of Wolves fans that will attend PB regularly. Someone like Lindgren though would be a game changer, that would probably give Birmingham the best chance of attracting Wolves fans (albeit the team overall will have to be decent, otherwise interest will wain quickly) I'd certainly do a few at PB if he signs whereas it would be 1 or 2 otherwise

A higher points limit suggests the strong clubs get stronger, most of the Wolves riders you'd want to sign appear to be going to Leicester Becker would be worth an enquiry and you could get Steve Worrall. Brum are going to need to get some heat leaders from somewhere especially a good no 1, I wish them well with that.
