TTT 1,229 Posted January 16 So have Brum actually signed the final two or not now? If they haven't then the alarm bells are about to ring, No top rider will make a last minute decision to take on another work load, They're top professionals who'll want everything in place ASAP.

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted January 16 (edited) What on earth are Birmingham doing? Artem Lagtua is only riding in 1 league next year. He cannot ride in Sweden and the GPs. No rider can go through an entire season by riding once a week on a Sunday. Laguta is desperate for a UK contract and Birmingham need a big number 1. What am I missing? This is a match made in heaven. Edited January 16 by LagutaRacingFan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bringbackHalifax 238 Posted January 16 Think Brum are goosed now tbh. It’s obvious that they are having to work very hard to persuade someone to come over. None of the riders mentioned actually want to race in the UK so I would question how much effort they would put in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He would be prepared to join Birmingham for 30% of that. How much lower can he go? Edited January 17 by LagutaRacingFan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They would turn Birmingham into title contenders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much lower can he go? 30% plus a van mechanic, flights etc etc. The list will go on. I'm not saying your wrong but there are other things to consider.

GiveusaB 1,145 Posted January 17 One can only think that N.T is trying to source 'Sponsorship', in order to get the last 2 deals done? There's supposed to be some news in the SS today? If anybody out there can 'update' ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deano 1,318 Posted January 17 Two guests to start the season then. Maybe we should start guessing who they will be. I'll go for Bomber to guest as one and bomber for the other. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about title contenders, but they'd definitely have a positive impact on attendance levels, which is more important long term!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
