Reserve the creativity/skill for reaching a new audience. What Edinburgh did and others is the wrong focus. Thankfully Edinburgh are rammed full of creativity and skill so that particular well isn’t dry after the team announcement. Such an odd take on the situation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xvcjk 79 Posted January 4, 2022 3 hours ago, Jaizer said: My question would be are Phillips, Woolley or Lawson ever going to ride champ again? 3 guys who are in late 20s/ 30s n never gone beyond that level. Obviously need these guys in the league but 3 in a team is hardly developing riders for the team IMO. Plus when greaves retired none of aforementioned were given a job instead brought Edwards up from the south coast. No doubt improvement in Millars in particular was huge over the season but I thought we were past not signing him cause he rides for Glasgow now? I agree with you there with regards to Woolley / Phillips & Lawson. These guys will probably never ride above NDL again but each team need requires a couple of experienced guys to bring on the younger riders. I don’t believe anyone expected Edwards to be as good as he was when he was brought in. Woolley and Phillips were both given chances if I remember. I get what you’re saying but I’d say the same about any of our championship rivals riders, not just a Glasgow one. There is very little benefit to the Monarchs by developing the likes of Bailey etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've said before I think should be a joint venture the NDL side but can't see our promotions ever going for that. He did a sterling job for you at Newcastle as I remember, could repay him for that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah don’t think that would happen. I’m surprised Glasgow haven’t put together a development side, would only be good for speedway. 3 hours ago, Jaizer said: He did a sterling job for you at Newcastle as I remember, could repay him for that He did indeed, was very impressed that day he has come on massively this season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're missing the fact that the reveal was created by volunteers. It's not a case of reserving things for new audiences etc, it's at no cost to the club so why not be creative for current audience AND new audience 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will watch with interest to see what these volunteers come up with to reach a new audience. At the moment they are only reaching the current (dying) audience. Perhaps you will enlighten us to what their plans are to reach all the people who have never heard of speedway and persuade them to give it a go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FromBendThree 145 Posted January 8, 2022 OK, let me know of one great bit of creativity and innovation in 2021 from your volunteers which reached people who had never heard of speedway before. AND, most importantly, how successful was it? That means, in plain language, how many new fans did it bring into the stadium and what was the retention rate?

That would be one for the promotion to answer not me. It has no bearing on whether the team announcement method was a good idea however. You know that but for some reason you’re insisting on trying to sound like a marketing strategist. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,863 Posted January 15, 2022 Decent showing from your new man in Darcy ward invitational this morning. 5 points in that field pretty respectable, 1 fewer than Masters, same as zaine Kennedy and point more than kelleher. Thomson 7, Pickering 8 too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
