If your'e prepared to say it's not a rumour as it came from a Championship promotion, then i'm afraid as far as i'm concerned then it remains a rumour unless you name the promotion. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diamonds85 702 Posted January 4, 2022 Kevin Wolbert was mentioned a few times in the Edinburgh thread a few weeks back and he's ridden for Birmingham before hasn't he? Would he be a popular addition, or not? I think he has the skill, if he takes the uk seriously, to be a brilliant rider over here, solid number 1. I am not sure if he'd even want to ride in the uk though, or if he rides in Denmark already, it rules him out... Birmingham seem to have little to no options left... Please don't tell me it's gonna be Josh Auty at 1 and James Shanes at 5!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever happens the task is very difficult due to a lack of quality riders especially as poole have got 3 number ones in their proposed team. if your budget is tight and riders are scarce you are going to struggle at this stage However it has been done as hull won the league with a last minute team and Peterborough last year had all the riders nobody wanted. but equally you could end up with a Mildenhall 2008 team which was record breaking all for the wrong reasons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well that's true enough. But as this is a forum for discussion, folk are allowed to contribute their views are they not?

Skidder1 7,637 Posted January 4, 2022 Surely people aren't asking to know what a rider gets paid - just whether he's on a guarantee or not. If/When a rider IS on a guarantee thats usually not all he gets in his financial package!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fortythirtyeight 841 Posted January 4, 2022 Not sure why everybody’s getting their knickers in a twist over ‘ guarantees ‘. These can take many forms, i.e. a minimum guarantee mainly used for low average riders so they at least know they can cover their expenses. There’s an ‘ average ‘ guarantee, guaranteed payment upto your average and then a ‘ bonus ‘ for scoring extra points. They come in many forms, one club paid all 7 riders a ‘ guarantee wage ‘ so that he knew what his wage bill would be each match. It’s up to the promoter how he comes up with a deal and nothing to do with the rest of us. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
