Simple as that. Maybe they are awaiting visa or a sponsor license but if that’s the case why not say so !!! 6 weeks ago he was waiting on 2 to return paperwork LR was. No he's got a choice 6-8riders yet most can not see where 3 half decent riders are available. LR need stop putting out false PR and say what is really going on.

LR is talking to 6-8 riders and is highly confident that he will be able to release the full Bulls line up shortly....... .....as for Brummies any riders available on Wednesday evenings are invited to attend P&P for the chance to try and gain a team place......

It's quite worrying. Hopefully BSPL are asking questions to LR and Brum owners. I'm sure they would like a trouble free 2022 championship league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, but the other posted said they visited last year, think they were a Lions fan and if memory serves me correct (which it doesn't always) the Leicester visit was a dusty one.

Certainly was after a late change when Edinburgh were due to visit. Complained to Birmingham but LR said the change had nothing to do with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, just a few seasons back, Edinburgh only completed their team when they signed up Claus Vissing at P&P, after he's performed well at the BenFund meeting at Berwick the previous week -- and more recently the same club went into P&P with an open invitation to "any rider who wants to show his worth" to claim their last team spot --- and landed a 16-year-old no-one had heard of, called Dan Bewley. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technik 491 Posted February 24, 2022 I remember the good old days before mobile phones, computers & social media when the first we knew of the seasons lineup was when we turn up for P & P day & they were sent out one by one. Now everyone wants the next seasons lineup released on November 2nd. Just relax I'm sure it will all be in place for the first meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know he's a squad rider in Denmark (same team as Ulrich Ostergaard) but I've not yet seen that he's signed for anyone in Poland or Sweden. Another rider without too many "foreign" commitments would be Oskar Paluch, the almost 16 year-old Polish junior, and 2021 250cc European Champion. One for the back burner should Birmingham's season get past June when Paluch will be old enough to ride in the Championship. Mind you, that really would be showing ambition, wouldn't it? Oskar Paluch is signed up and very much part of the team at Gorzow in the Polish League. A good chance he could be in the Extraliga starting line up when the opportunity arises and also in their U24 side too. With regards Birkemose - other posters have already said about the problems surrounding him. Could be a great talent but seems likely to end up wasting that talent with his unprofessional and not serious approach to the sport.

While Vissing might be a good example,but can’t see why you mentioned Dan,Birmingham are not looking for a3 pointer ,Dan had a good season at reserve and made it into the main body.Birmingham needs a proven Heatleader from the off. iMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
