Diamonds85 Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 I wouldn't really say they were BIG names but riders like Anders Thomsen, Oliver Berntzon and Jacob Thorsell would be very welcome and more realistic additions to British speedway than the big GP lads... Leon Madsen is currently without a Swedish team as far as I can see??? If we're talking really big names 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Tai is. Rob is at Smederna I think. My guess at the 3 are Tai, Leon and Chris Holder? And Holder will be the one of the three that can make it and it'll be a big let down... Really hope not. I really do not like Tai at all, but we NEED him in British speedway, and we need him to be the face of British speedway. But why would Dan leave and Tai come back? I thought them two were forming an unofficial team out in Europe... Edited December 23, 2021 by Diamonds85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOpinion Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) If it's one of those three, does that make Allen in the 1-5 and Blodorn at reserve more likely? Of those options, Vaculik seems like the most likely. I'd be very (pleasantly) surprised to see either of the other two. Regardless, if we can bag ourselves any of them we've got a very strong team.

Regardless, if we can bag ourselves any of them we've got a very strong team. 1. Max Fricke 8.81 2. Jake Allen 4.60 3. Brady Kurtz 7.27 4. Charles Wright 5.92 5. Martin Vaculik 8.00 6. Tom Brennan RS 7. Norick Blodorn 4.00 This team fits with 0.40 to spare if my calculations are right!! What would Tai's and Emil's averages even be?

PotteringAround Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Seems to be some right wind-ups going on in this thread. Couple of pages ago you were all believing BV couldn't sign anyone, but now you all believe the budget's been thrown away and they're beating of G.P. riders with a mucky stick. Going to be some very surprised people when you find out who this "big name" actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going along with the rumours from other people I don't follow the PL threads at all really, so I dunno what was being talked about last week. Who do you think the big name will be?

This side would beat Sheffields offering..... on paper I think out of Tai, Emil and Martin then the latter is most likely Tai has good sponsorships and deals in place already, Emil has exceptional backing too Martin is at that age where perhaps not the best position financially out of the 3 so would likely want to add to the retirement fund by getting extra £££ Probably end up with Lindback though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to put your money where your mouth is and state who you think the “big name” is then?? When he is announced we can then see if you were right or if indeed you are another on here that actually knows nothing?? I suspect the latter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't claim to know what was going on behind the scenes. I believe only Mark Lemon and Adrian Smith know that. I put "big name" in inverted commas as I was casting scepticism on rumours from those pretending to be in the know. I find it odd that just a few days ago they were saying BV were struggling to attract riders on a budget, and throwing around names like Bjerre, Tungate, Etheridge, Allen. But now everyone believes a daft rumour that they're splashing the cash going after Woffinden, Sajfutdinov and Vaculik...and one is definitely coming. I don't see any of those 3 at BV (although Woffy would love to ride at the NSS). The only name mentioned on this thread recently that I do see coming to Manchester would be Blodorn. Having said that, (with no inside knowledge) I wouldn't bet against them coming up with a surprise big signing to excite the fans. Just not one of the 3 mentioned.

Throwing names around like Etheridge/Allen they are probably very realistic signings depending on who the 3rd heat leader is... Even Blodorn is realistic if they need a 4.00 which would then probably rule either Etheridge or Allen out of a spot. Fingers crossed for British Speedway that its an exciting announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
