Certainly not Northampton, or in Northampton. For a “new venture”, that seems a bit of a drawback to recruiting fans, unless there’s plenty of transport laid on. I’ve heard they’re laying on a tandem. 😉😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worry-ye-not, folks. It's happening! Let's be honest... The track record of those involved isn't "great" when it comes to promotion of the sport they run... However, given it seems to be a "collective thing", then, maybe, they will go " all in" and promote the s**t out of Northampton... Let's hope so...

Hackett Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 8 hours ago, noaksey said: Todays Star says "we understand that there is a wish that all relevant club information will be announced at the same time" Read this and they dont need to announce any official club information, Just teasers on social media would be a simple way of building engagement. Putting up fixtures , different kevlars, team names etc Announcing at the same time could still be done but a feeder campaign to generate interest,tags and trending. Even a two week warning and countdown. Seems like a wasted opportunity to generate interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somerset was about 4-5 miles away from Burnham on sea. Your going even more loopy in your old age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSmiler Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 The sport is really missing a trick in not getting involved in “vlogger” culture. Imagine having dedicated vlogs to drum up interest and offer a behind the scenes look at what it takes to prepare for a season. Insight into a rider’s daily life etc. It would enhance the interest incredibly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamish McRaker Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Is it located somewhere near the notorious Jesus Army HQ? Maybe that's the way to start recruiting new fans, they've got minibuses i think. And theyd stay dedicated no matter how many times the team loses. The "consortium" must be aiming to get it running and then selling on as a viable business, having put in the cash, spadework and legal grunt. They must have potential buyers lined up who have financial clout but its a big risk and i hope it pays off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
