PaulS 55 Posted January 30, 2018 Lindgren is a talented rider, good round Brough Park, and a positive addition to 2018 team. He has however had some poor spells in the last season or two and I think he should be targeting 8+ in the season ahead. If he doesn't achieve that I don't envisage any trophies for the team.

ruffdiamond 6,115 Posted January 30, 2018 I hope the rest of the team, well Ash and Robbo don't feel dis-heartened because nobody is talking about them,,,, Ludde should have his own thread 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erniew 163 Posted January 30, 2018 Our new co-promoter has been announced, but no mention of a new main sponsor. I cannot see the team surviving even with financial consraints without one but once again, the silence is deafening. Surely the club can confirm that we have one even if they can't be named just yet for a good reason. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has Martin been officially accepted by the Brotherhood, a mean BSPA yet ??? maybe a sponsor could bd linked to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree Paul. Let's hope George stops him playing with other engines like last year and gets him to stick to what he has/knows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a bit like no announcements when the old club was being closed down, whilst a new one was being created with a new owner, and then no riders had been signed. What do people expect, as they plainly have never ran a business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly think that Freddie, having the success he did at that time, was the main reason for Ludde to try and stick with them longer than he should have.

I retired in 2003 on my 60th birthday, as I had never wanted to run the club, but just to get it up and running again. Perhaps it's just as well that some are 'high and mighty' to give the sport and put something into it, whilst others just try get as much as they can out of it. Your point again is out of date as the number of hangers on has greatly been reduced in latter years, but obviously its still a concern of yours.

You mean like the team in 1997 that was a scratch team, but came third in our first season. Followed by signing 3 times World Champ Nicki, the rise of second string Jesper, PL title in 2001 and runners up in 2002, the signings of World Cup star Bjarne P, Compton, World Cup star KB, Kenni and Rene, the 3 times winners 2010 team, the emergence of the Worrals from juniors, the UK U21 star Lambert,the rise of the Gems in 2002 to 2004 and re-emergence of the new Gems three years ago, who have now two of the top youngster in the NJL, and the only FREE training school in the country financed exclusively and ran by ME. Shocking performance, very mediocre Eh. Edited January 30, 2018 by Tsunami 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
