Certainly not Northampton, or in Northampton. For a ānew ventureā, that seems a bit of a drawback to recruiting fans, unless thereās plenty of transport laid on. Iāve heard theyāre laying on a tandem. šš Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worry-ye-not, folks.Ā 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 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago 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" Ā Ā 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.Ā Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSmiler Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago The sport is really missing a trick in not getting involved in āvloggerā 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 riderās daily life etc.Ā It would enhance the interest incredibly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamish McRaker Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago 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 Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
