Everybody is some kind of ethnic so which ones do you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does not make sense as surely, for the vast majority of the season, he would be riding in Poland on the Sunday afternoon and there are no shortage of flights from Poland to he UK so, no problem getting to Birmingham or, elsewhere for the vast majority of the Monday night fixture making up the majority of the premier league matches across the uk ?

Even more reason why “flight difficulties” dies not seem a legitimate excuse for Freddie not riding for Birmingham then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dog Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 I think Schlein would tick a lot of boxes for Brum, knows the riders and promotion well, good out of the gate and Birmingham is a smallish track and he knows how to defend a line, a name everyone is familiar with and wouldn't be breaking the bank. On a good average for Brum too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need top heat leaders, not second stings or mascots and, we don’t want riders who throw a wobbler every time the track is wet !!!

GiveusaB Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 Would've thought that the way to building a strong side is to sign your so called big hitters first, then fill in the gaps with the second strings? Cmon Sam the manager.... make a statement about the top 2 riders that are going to make fans want to turn up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you now feel the need to rush it, when every other team has their 1-7 signed and announced. I’d look at it that Birmingham now is the ONLY choice for any rider looking to race in GB, and some who were not interested in Sept last year will now be looking at it. The announcements by other clubs will actually help encourage this, plus why would you announce a major signing in the run up or over Christmas when you would get zero publicity. They are more than aware they need a 1 & 5, just enjoy your egg nog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not always strictly true - especially in Lindback’s case. He has signed for Landshut in the Polish league but they are actually a German side. It’s all relevant to where they can fly into in Sweden too. It might well be possible but the rider themself might not want to travel from Sweden, to Germany/Poland, to the UK and then back to Sweden before returning to their base.

bellevueace Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) Considering Birmingham appeared to be struggling crowd wise i thought it a strange move to move up into the premiership given the additional cost, at least it keeps another club going but will they see out the season? Those were my initial thoughts, Birmingham is a large city with a good catchment area and given the loss of Coventry, Cradley, and now sadly Wolves the opportunity is surely there to attract good crowds, so taking their time to put out an attractive team with a competetive top two is understandable. Good luck to Nigel Tolley i hope he pulls it off, i hope Birmingham turn out to be a sucsess story. Happy New Year to all forum members.
