As well as Sidewinder says Birmingham might not have the sponsors license to bring in a Non European, which not only rule out Grajczonek but Ruml and MacDonald. Also Grajczonek I believe now has a very well paid job back in Oz and it might have to be an exceptional deal to bring over here to race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grajczonek is European, he uses Polish ancestry to ride in Poland (who'd have guessed with a name like that!) The problem is that since brexit European riders need work permits too. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,130 Posted December 20, 2021 I guess the BOSS knows who he's signing....I suppose we are going to get drip fed as it keeps the B'ham forum post alive and helps towards pushing the club in the spotlight ? I still think Smolinski will be the big one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ljriley90 47 Posted December 20, 2021 If there is problems in regards to signing non british riders cos permit issues the something like the below could fit Auty 7.16 Shanes 4.87 Bates 6.20 Bacon 5.07 Ellis 7.57 Morris 4.68 Jack Smith 3 = 38.53 Riders with EU paperwork Vissing 8.43 Shanes 4.83 Auty 7.16 Castagna 5.52 Covatti 7.57 Morris 4.68 Smith 3 = 41.18 Auty 7.16 Bates 6.20 Sedgman 5.59 Castagna 5.52 L bjerre 7.30 Morris 4.68 Shanes 4.84 = 41.32 Covatti 7.57 Bacon 5.07 Auty 7.16 Castagna 5.52 Bjerre 7.30 Morris 4.68 Shanes 4.84 = 42.15 Vissing 8.43 Bates 6.20 Sedgman 5.59 Castagna 5.52 Auty 7.16 Morris 4.68 Shanes 4.84 = 42.29 Just a few ideas based on rode last year and in 2019 who doesnt have a club up to now. Im not sure what average bacon and bates will start on as they didnt ride enough mates to have their average reassesed during 2021 Not sure on the starting averages for Covatti and Bjerre but based on last average in 2019 Covatti and castagna could be a nice duo. Do the italian / argentian scene together and i think brum is covattis parent club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do the italian / argentian scene together and i think brum is covattis parent club Some positive suggestions there....you've certainly done your home work. Tom Bacon is a very interesting suggestion. (Local lad, previous fans favourite....may be slightly ahead of Shanes/Morris on his day...but probably a bit rusty .) I'd certainly give Jack Smith another go and Covatti would be a dream signing. P.s Morris/Shanes at reserve would blow most other teams reserves away. Edited December 20, 2021 by GiveusaB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
