Cos it has not got the Glasgow promotion throwing stacks of money at it !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Is that a hint as to the riding order issued on the Twitter account today? Cook, basso, Brennan, Nicol, ulle, Hume, bailey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could say in our local press if or when Lawson is announced, if it is like mac101 says. Makes the most sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the most sense to me. Probably suits both clubs , Poole get an established heatleader who probably won’t ride for us anytime soon. Glasgow get a young rider with potential to become a heatleader win win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racin Jason 72 Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 It seems wrong to me that poole have got three genuine number ones while Birmingham desperately need a number one. if they fail to land a suitable rider I can see Birmingham folding and probably never reopening again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the difference between the haves and have nots in some cases unfortunately. Of course there are other riders out there who Brum could sign as genuine number ones but whether they would come or could be afforded is another matter. I've never been keen on really top heavy teams personally (including my own) and wouldn't be against some kind of control to make sure everybody got one but how that would be governed or regulated I have no idea. Alternatively you build your team like P'boro dud and waltz to the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker and stancl, Parker and bird, Parker greives and stancl.

I think Coventry had to choose between Hamill and Hancock?? So if enough promoters want it more spread out it can be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely have to get lucky with the lower end though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no right or wrong way as the difference between Poole and Peterborough in 2021 will tell you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
