GiveusaB Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) If B'ham were to appear again next season....which I doubt very much at Championship level...I wouldnt want to see Riss or Grobauer, both a waste of space IMO! Everything is specualtion and its a load of b#ll#cks discussing it until someone makes a firm commitment/statement!

Expand Don't think Riss did that from what i saw at Perry Barr, just think he had a poorer season in 2021 than 2019, which happens. He was hardly setting the world alight for Kings Lynn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's proven to be a very good rider and a smashing person but last year never really worked for him. Shame because he's a lot better than we saw and he was as frustrated as anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGould Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 Still hopeful that Laurence can pull something off. There are going to be plenty of riders looking for a ride if Kent close too.
