ProudtobeaBrummie 646 Posted January 30, 2021 So what are our possible options as the final two signings? Is it assumed there is no Valentein or is this assumed ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is that the decision to open the doors to fans won't hang on whether the fans are inoculated or not, but on the infection rate in the region. A region which ignores rules on masks and social distancing, treats a trip to the supermarket as a family day out, thereby ignoring the "one shopper per family" rule and then squeals like little piggies, oops, no, can't use the word piggies, that might offend, er, squeals like really squealy things, that their community is the hardest hit by the pandemic. Speedway, or any other forms of hospitality or entertainment won't resume until these other houses are in order. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rory Schlein has been mentioned here, but this may be a guess. As for Gorbauer, Laurence Rogers has said (on the Brummies forum) that all six riders will be in the team.

As the assumption is that this is assumed, you can therefore assume that the assumption is anything you assume it to be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup and that counts for nothing as 4 star only counts for the Prem. So either Thomas has opted out and will feature in the team on his own merits and make his own deal but Brum will need another 1/2/3 star rider depending on team building or the list is wrong and the BSPL have made a fist of the press release.....both equally as likely but i hope for Jack its the former. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the hobbit 152 Posted February 11, 2021 Laurence Rogers has posted on the Brummies forum that the list issued is incomplete snd that there are several riders who are on the list but have not been included on the press release for some reason. Laurence had confirmed jack Thomas is on the list snd is the Brummies rising star rider 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
