heathen52 385 Posted December 20, 2023 Someone who was supposedly in the know said a rider announcement last Wednesday which there was (Zach Cook) and another this Wednesday ???? only just over an hour left, I guess Nigel want's to keep the announcement back until Christmas eve.

JJ predicted two announcements which we have now had, one last Wednesday one on Monday , the second one came earlier than predicted. What’s the problem?

HGould 2,213 Posted December 21, 2023 Tolley in the Star. Claims to have spent ballpark £300k in past 2 seasons and may be another 70k on top. Claims to have spoken to Lindgren and "Russians", and "If say Bartosz Zmarzlik wanted to ride in this Country next season we wouldn't be frighted about what the money would be" Goes on to say he is looking to bring in at least one rider "of GP standard" Says at end that in further article NEXT WEEK "exciting news for Brummies fans ....and a new challenge way beyond riding in the Premiership" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiveusaB 1,145 Posted December 21, 2023 Not sure why Promoters feel the need to tell us how much money they've spent? You're either taking it on, or you're not!? We need 2 riders of GP standard to compete with other teams.... Our second string riders are not as good as other teams... Look forward to the exciting news!?

FishersGate 522 Posted December 21, 2023 He's put in money in fair play but that is what he signed up for surely? Plus the money he's put in in terms of team building has been woeful. Fingers crossed he can pull a few stars into Perry bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guess what happens next?? That's right, they're booted out by stadium owners or the establishment eventually. If you want to chat big about your finances, build a safe & secure track for the clubs future first & foremost rather ego boosting waste on GP rider's. It's absolutely horrific this stuff gets dished out, building up the fans only then to see their clubs gone within 5yrs of this such nonsense 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the hobbit 153 Posted December 21, 2023 The only news possible that would be more important than our racing in the premier league, would be the news that he had secured the land ( and that planning permission looks likely ), to secure our long term future. He told me several times last season that he had several possible sites lined up so, let’s hope . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
