Rogers has said that he knows the final three riders he wants, and is working on the deals - just lots of speculation about who they might be. It makes a change for British speedway that people actually don't seem to know who they are! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 My outside bet would be Luke Becker if he's not tied up enough abroad to be available for us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimsboy Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Don't panic LR has it all in hand. He's told everybody that a month ago. Best not to speculate on riders like Becker. Because the riders LR has or will end up will be a big let down. #AUTYFORNUMBER1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as only allowed to ride in 2 other leagues plus Poland championship and premiership count as 2 leagues even though in same country.

heathen52 Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Its rapidly getting to the stage that LR needs to pull 3 rabbits out of a hat, I can understand that he/they are negotiating with riders but to still be 3 riders short coming into the middle of february is starting to become worrying, it badly needs the Brummies to put out a competitive team at the very least otherwise all the goodwill in the world wont see them get the numbers needed through the gate.

Technik Posted February 10, 2022 Report Share Posted February 10, 2022 Just to throw another name into the ring. Ellis Perks. I know he missed last season but he was training. If that has finished could he be able to make a return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically he’s trying to find the funds to pay them as anybody who is worth having will be screwing him for every penny knowing he’s now in last chance saloon. That in its self, is worrying for the future of the club. Good luck to him , I hope he can find a decent team as the sport can’t afford to lose anyone else.

I personally would welcome anyone that gave 110%! R u saying we wouldn't have welcomed Bruce Penhall or Greg Hancock back in the day? Speedway isn't football... its not tribal IMO!
