I think people are missing the point, if there is a benefit to this drip feeding news approach (and I’m not necessarily saying there is, but I’m keeping an open mind) then it’s not for the benefit of posters on here who think about speedway every day, but more those who stop thinking about it in October and start again in March and those who go occasionally or haven’t been yet. 

Also struggling to see why this team is so uninspiring and awful....all seven riders appeared in a team which comfortably finished top last year and although we’ve lost a heat leader it looks a competitive team in what is again a weaker league. 

Perhaps people wanted things freshening up with a few new faces and I can understand that.

Has there been regular EDP back pages / Radio Norfolk slots etc to keep this media hype going thru the winter?

Do you get these even when signings are announced?

Ipswich traditionally name all 7 and early (this year has had different issues) We then see at least weekly bits in The Ipswich Star and regular slots in sports news bulletins on Radio Suffolk even thru winter as well as dedicated sections on drivetime show

You dont need to have a signing to announce to have a media slot so long as you have the structure and relationship with the outlets

I guess it might depend on what the ongoing relationship between the club and the various media outlets is?

Yes of course the signings are announced on all media outlets. Radio Norfolk even rang me up about them today 'blimmin heck'!!

Has anybody heard when we will have the privilege of learning the name of the fourth member of our team?  Being drip fed news at this snails pace is not really holding my interest much.

That's about 1 a month :blink: No other team has Erik, TJ, MPT or Kerr, so I guess its them 4. Back up for Lambo is a must for me, but very unlikely, and Lewis is a big risk.:unsure:

Lynn and Ippo battling it out for the spoon, i'm thinking.

If that is Lynn's team I won't be to pleased. Buster becomes chairman and seems to neglect Lynn a bit. Then buys 2 more clubs an its looking like the Panthers have a great team, Lynn look like they are gonna suffer to save the Prem for 1 more season. After waiting over 50 years, and coming close you would think that Buster would do all he can to deliver the title to his beloved team Lynn....

We should know the team by May at this rate  ;)

Being a hundred mile round trip for me, and my interest level being rather low, I'll give that one a miss thanks!

Seems there a few more posters like me who question the shambolic way the fans of Lynn are treated.    If, as it seems  the case that the team is assembled and training together,   what benefits are gained by keeping the fans in the dark..
