Dudek In a previous post, I suggested Janusz Kołodziej and Dominik Kubera to which I only got rebuffed on Kubera because he's doing the SGP's (as are others, but hey ho). I'd like to know why Janusz Kołodziej isn't currying favour bearing in mind his blistering season in Poland last year. And for those singing Dudek's praises, let's not forget that Anders Thomsen, Mateusz Cierniak Oskar Fajfer and Grzegorz Zengota all out-performed him over the the season just gone. Won't they do? 6 hours ago, TTT said: ...when you take into account that Brum are now being linked with new riders like Milik and Chugunov and they're engine room riders so it reeks of desperation. And again, those riders I listed are way above the rankings of Milik & the long haired pseudo-Pole from Russia. I'd be happy to have Janusz Kołodziej as #1 and Oskar Fajfer at #2. Fajfer, for those who aren't aware, was brought in by Stal Gorzow to fill the gap left by the loss of Zmarzlik, and he exceeded everyone's expectations in the role that he performed. He's a guy on the upward swing of his learning curve and could well make a big impact on the British scene, if he was made an offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

szkocjasid 3,139 Posted January 7 Years ago Tony Rickardsson started the season for Arena-Essex & maybe Oxford too. Perhaps he'd agree to join Brummies till the GPs start? Just be open & hi EST with your fans & they should at least get large crowds to see BZ for a month or so? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,940 Posted January 7 Kolodziej is a world class rider but he hasn't shown any interest in the UK for 15 years. Same with Hampel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They've signed 5 riders on a budget and are hoping to get two HL's in however the names being linked with Brum now are of much lesser quality than they were at the start. Who is doing all this linking of riders ? A lot of know buggeralls giving their ideas as to what they think should be happening. I'm sure if you all write it often enough, somebody will believe you.

It might actually be the reason for the delay as too many people have guessed correctly lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'd be on page 2 not page 62, if only allowed to state facts not theories. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'd be on page 2 not page 62, if only allowed to state facts not theories. Well said.... If anything, it's giving B'ham pre-season attention....not sure whether it's positive/negative...but it's still attention! There is obvious varying degrees of interest.....from, general speedway 'fan'....Premier League opposition 'fan' and past/present 'Bham' 'fan'..... With myself being the latter.... Personally, I don't have much faith in the current consortium, regards Team recruitment....this opinion is based on the last 2 seasons of poor team building and poor Home meeting performances! However, as a 'fan' of speedway, I'm extremely grateful to N.T for keeping the 'club' afloat and giving people like myself a chance of seeing the sport from a local perspective. If, the club assemble a competitive side, by that I mean, a side that doesn't have to win every home meeting, but at least keep the scores close, then I'll definitely be at as many Home/Away meetings as possible. At my 'long in the tooth' age....I'm easily pleased and am just happy to see close racing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure if you all write it often enough, somebody will believe you. With buggerall actually happening in the Speedway close season, speculating about who may sign or who won't sign creates a bit of interest, as to what we think should be happening most people have ideas some more worthwhile than others, here is my tenpenny worth, Nigel Tolley is still being advised by LR with regards signing riders, Nigel has himself got limited experience with regards getting riders in, Nigel has appointed a new Team manager who has little or no experience in managing a Speedway team, he has appointed an assistant team manager with probably less experience than the team manager, we have supporters that have for the most part never managed a Speedway Team, but we usually do know a half decent Speedway rider when we see one. Nigel badly needs experience in the management team I mean someone other than LR, and from what I can see the same mistakes with regards team building are being repeated again and again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
