As with Ellis, I can't see Jorgensen signed to any team in Denmark. Obviously depends on what cash is available. It was implied the owners would be prepared to put in extra this year, but it would need to be self-financing going forward. Think we'd be title contenders if we signed your first 3 suggestions ? The weight (pardon the pun) will get heavier on the Boss's shoulders., the longer this saga goes on ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brummie Boy 61 Posted February 14, 2022 Oooops! My mistake, I meant, as with Ellis, Jorgensen doesn't appear to have signed for a team in Sweden. Thanks for picking up on my error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heathen52 384 Posted February 14, 2022 The longer this goes on the more worrying it gets with regards the 3 as yet unsigned riders, I have no idea if Birmingham have a sponsors licence or not because if they havent then the riders available on UK licences are pretty much all signed up, I have no idea what the position is with regards European riders and visas since Brexit if indeed Visas are needed that will then depend on if Birmingham have a sponsors licence or not. What I will say is if Birmingham cannot sign riders with the ability to make them competitive then crowds will suffer badly and they will be on a hiding to nothing financially, I have said elsewhere that whilst LR may be good at many things his record as a Team manager above the NL is pretty poor.

Nothing in the press releases (no matter how many issues of Speedway Star you scour through) about sponsors of any sort. The new owners made their reliance on increased sponsorship plain for all to hear when they took over. Maybe this is at the heart of the issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dog 413 Posted February 14, 2022 I don't think for a minute that there would be any ongoing track work happening if they didn't have enough riders to start the season or to not run at all.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UKm I take your point about Sponsors sponsoring the Team, Riders or anything else available to sponsor, and being in the 2nd city I would have thought some sponsorship would be out there to obtain. However I was referring to the fact that so far as im aware it used to be and probably still is, if anyone wants to employ anyone that requires a visa said employer requires a sponsors Licence and as we are now no longer members of the EU do European riders now need a visa ?, This kind of thing https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1024033/Sponsor-an-International-Sportsperson-10-21.pdf it can be a bit of a minefield.
