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.. Even more annoying disrespectful is those connected to Lynn tweeting that they know the team but aren't telling. Seems fans are not only second class citizens in the promotions eyes.

You shouldn't go on social media and say you know something paying fans don't. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea Radio Norfolk listeners just about sums up the average age of those who attended Tatum and Pearson’s get together going by the photos on social media , and that’s one of Speedway’s major problems an ever ageing supporters fan base not being replaced with the next generation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You haven't heard the kids who ring in following the football... I best add KLFM, all the local newspapers, twitter, Facebook and Instagram.... come on Haza, I know what you're gonna say now, only over 50s read newspapers! You can't say the same about Instagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't say the same about Instagram KLFM no sane under 40 listens to that cack. Radio Norfolk is the only place for Norwich fans to vent, apart from the football it's then just the blue rinse brigade listening. Twitter = 4055 followers, lucky to have a 3rd of that turn up on race night. Also down just under 2000 followers from 2016. Instagram = 603 followers, abysmal for a professional sports club. So, clearly the current media stance of drip feeding is delivering F-all except frustration and turning off the supporters. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely spot on - we got more information back in the day when all we had was the local press and the Speedway Star - a lot of people blamed Marc Gent when he was in charge of press release and social media for lack of information and I was one of them but clearly it wasn’t his fault - I’ve never known any business to take its customers for granted in this way and it’s a very dangerous game to play in my view . 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My club Ipswich has gone from being one of the first to announce the team in one go in November to being the last to sort the team. Social media interaction was very good previously and that’s changed for the worse. Its 2019 not 1978. People can access information instantly and expect to so why drag out announcements on riders. I could accept one per day for a week but this is crazy. You are alienating your regular customers for what ?? 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
