I do think Schlein will be next. Then zagar and then to finish off will be Robert lambert at one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope Birmingham manage to put together a successful team for everyone’s sake, but I rather doubt home track knowledge alone will be enough to see off the likes of Janowski, Sayfutdinov, Musielak or any other of the top PL riders Sorry, I'm not sad enough to go through all the teams to see whose ridden at Perry Barr recently.

Lambert has already confirmed he won't be doing Britain until 2025. I agree that Schlein will be next then it'll probably be Zagar. Piotr Pawlicki at No.1 imo.

I agree, they were always behind everyone else in terms team building. I'm sure most riders are snapped up towards the end of the season and Birmingham couldn't do any of that tapping up. They are just left with the rest that are avaliable. Although I'm pretty sure Tolley would have pretty much contacted every grand prix rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's painful when fans have to watch their club get battered every week (I know from recent experience lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your original post was factually incorrect and pointless. No need to be rude. I was merely suggesting that lack of track knowledge wouldn’t protect Birmingham - the Brummies need world class riders if their fans aren’t going to be subjected to poor performances at home. In my opinion. My first post was actually the opposite of what you say but, hey ho, there we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 The signing of Zach Cook has been announced. Hands up if you are surprised. Keep your hands up if you think there's "wow factor" with that signing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your hands up if you think there's "wow factor" with that signing, I was impressed with him last season and has bags of potential to improve further. Decent signing for me as are Brennan and Flint while Worrall will do OK. The problems are above them hence why Brum have announced the bottom end of the team first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 Freddie at No.1 has to be the dream ticket. World class rider and with more than a passing association with the homeless Wolves fans. Not my favourite rider, but I'd turn out to see him when Birmingham are in town.

Problem is all talk has gone dead on him and the heavily rumoured names all winter have gone where everyone said they will go and the names still heavily linked with Brum at the moment are Zagar, Schlein, W. Lampart and the Pawlicki brothers which doesn't make for good reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpy Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 All this worry before team is fully announced . Give them a chance . Also. We don’t know how the poles will perform . nobody rated Tarrasenko yet he turned out pretty good at Pererborough. Let’s wait and see . For the sake of the sport , Birmingham need a competitive team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4BenMoran Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 Zagar 100% will be a Brummie in 2024 following Lindgren deciding against a full season in UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 It was hard work last season watching us get battered every week. The kids I bring each week might start to thin out if we get battered by Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dog Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 Last time I saw Schlein at PB, he was whinging about the amount of water they'd put down before the meeting. Mind you, he did the track walk in flip flops... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted December 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 I've only seen Schlein at Perry Barr once, he was wearing Pugwash navy & was awful. If he is one of the final 3 riders the Brummies are destined for the wooden spoon. Any three of Zagar, Lindgren & the Pawlicki brothers and they'll be competitive. It's a solid bottom 4 signed so far.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teromaafan Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 I’ve enjoyed my recent visits to watch the Lions at Brum and I hope that they make a real go of it next season. I’m trying to see through all of the negativity on this thread but the Brum supporters aren’t stupid and are very realistic about next season based on recent history. Everyone has them down for the wooden spoon in 2024. If the club’s financial predicament is as fragile as we are led to believe, seventh position may be an achievement as it would mean that they have completed the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
