The Dog Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 7 minutes ago, uk_martin said: Out of interest, does anyone know the availability of Marcus Birkemose, the 2020 European u21 Champion? I know he's a squad rider in Denmark (same team as Ulrich Ostergaard) but I've not yet seen that he's signed for anyone in Poland or Sweden. Another rider without too many "foreign" commitments would be Oskar Paluch, the almost 16 year-old Polish junior, and 2021 250cc European Champion. One for the back burner should Birmingham's season get past June when Paluch will be old enough to ride in the Championship. Mind you, that really would be showing ambition, wouldn't it? Regarding the young Pole Paluch, I think rather than showing ambition, it would be a huge target on the promotions back for signing an untried and untested rider for the already disgruntled Brummies fans sadly...

Those are the kind of scraps that we have to feed off in this country now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 Great News The Brummies fans can carry on using the One Shop Stopping Centre car park. Better still, access to the OSSC car park has been improved thanks to the road works which aren't far from being complete. Just as well really as the capacity at the stadium car park has been significantly reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 As an outsider knowing nothing about what is going on behind the scenes, whatever riders Brum are supposedly approaching, they are most likely stalling commitment in an attempt to financially exploit the rapidly diminishing time frame to the start of the season. The longer this drags on, the more worrying it becomes, especially if at least two of the remaining riders are not genuine heat leaders at this level. Hopefully it will not get to the stage where they have to announce Tom, Dick & Harry just to come to the tapes in March. If that’s the case, I will have to make sure I get to the Lions KO Cup leg at Perry Barr (went last year and loved the place), because if Auty is one their top two they may not see the season out.

GiveusaB Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Reading the Brummies forum, I think we can safely say that 'WE' (B'ham) are going to have a decent side, a competitive side, a great race track and we will definitely see the season out!

Racin Jason 72 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 The speedway star says they are talking to 6-8 riders but are just deciding which are the best options. now I know the management have to stay and say positive things but this isn’t 1977 and your customers are not as gullible as they were back then. surely you know exactly how many riders you are talking to and as there are no other team places it’s Birmingham or nothing. Simple as that. Maybe they are awaiting visa or a sponsor license but if that’s the case why not say so !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that any rumours that Birmingham were about to sign Artem Laguta and Emil Sayfutinov have gone up in smoke now. As for that photo of the track, is it an optical illusion or does that look like steeper camber around the inside and negative camber around the outside? Have they just built a second Rye House?
