heathen52 Posted October 23, 2024 Report Share Posted October 23, 2024 Before going ahead and tying up riders for 2025 maybe they could bring in a new team management such as Rosco, if they sign the team then get a new manager I can't see that working, if they continue with the 2024 managers then I think it will be more of the same old same old results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Me neither, I just chucked Lindgren at No.1 as he was the only rider that I could think of, I don't believe he'd do 3 leagues at his age either. I honestly don't see where a No.1/No.5 comes from in regards to Birmingham, Maybe they'll do a rinse and repeat with 7.50 assessed riders again? 2. Z. Cook, 3. Douglas, 4. S. Worrall, 6. Lampart & 7. Edwards (RS) are the only riders I'm confident that'll be at Brum even though the Brummies faithful aren't keen on Stevie. He's just an easy deal to do when operating on a tight budget as other clubs won't be queing up to sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
