foamfence 2,917 Posted December 7, 2017 https://twitter.com/redcarbears/status/938739498430730240 Seems like the Bears line up is pretty much sorted. Cant argue with them being honest as to why the names are to be revealed at the next Social night. Personally I think it's a childish gimmick. If they announced the team now and then said "come along and meet them and maybe have a question time," I think that would draw just as many to the social. Then again, if it's a rubbish (Havelock type) side, maybe they ARE doing the right thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yearbyred 1,092 Posted December 7, 2017 Personally I don't have a problem with it (even though I won't be attending on the 22nd) and they are stating the reasons why they are doing it Any comparisons to the Havelock era are unfair imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would depend on the line-up but as you say, we all have our opinions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheekycobra 159 Posted December 7, 2017 There must be some British based riders who could attend. Your closing remark is what I might expect from a brown noser. No need to throw a paddy about it. The club are doing the right thing in raising a few quid for the coffers. I see no problem with that. Brown noser . You couldn't be further away from the truth if you tried. Pay at the gate, enjoy my racing then back home for early bed and work the next day, that's me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedcarRacer 228 Posted December 7, 2017 I don't have a problem - if it gets more people through the doors fair enough - but as said depends who the names are! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heedthebaw 439 Posted December 7, 2017 Announcing riders at a function to encourage more supporters to attend is old hat in my opinion, in the modern age, any signings will be all over social media 10 seconds after they are announced. So, only the people who would go regardless, will be there anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin & Ben certainly did not do it in an old fashioned way. Think they are planning a good night out this year again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I quite like unveiling of riders in Bears colours at the Christmas party. I think it adds to the occasion. Who doesn't like surprises at Christmas ?
