SCB Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 No problem with BSI making money from a commercial perspective, but let's not pretend it's for the good of global speedway... Monster is obviously growing in terms of brand recognition, and is probably fairly well known amongst the extreme sports fraternity. I wouldn't put it in the league of Coca Cola or even Red Bull though, and I bet if you went down the local and asked for 'Monster' the chances are you'd get a blank look... I think you'd find that you could go into most pubs and get a Monster. I think as companies go, they're pretty big. Also agree it's bloody horrible stuff, as is Relentless and Red Bull.

JCookie Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I think Monster tastes like those lollies you get in fun bags in drink form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I can't believe some people are being negative about a major global brand being brought into the sport. People, we HAVE to get young men interested in speedway again or it is going to die. It is a shame for those who think George Formby is cool but it HAS to happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Young people do. Just think of the excitement on here if PG Tips and Werther's Originals had sponsored speedway.

stratton Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 What track will the GPin the US be at Long Beach? i love that track maybe at the LA Galaxy stadium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Just think of the excitement on here if PG Tips and Werther's Originals had sponsored speedway. Pg Tips? I drink that less than I drink Monster. Tesco Value Tea for me! I don't get the moaning either tbh, as sponsor go it's pretty big and Monster don't just tend to pump cash into things, they bring in big marketing teams and play the dnager aspect - something speedway needs to do.

This is the reason I'm so excited about this. You only need to look at other sports that they have helped to see what a difference it has made. Trust me when I say, at the end of 2012, we will have an audience much, much larger than today, and the average age of supporters will plummet, which we so desperately need.

Dave_minall Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Monster is massively influential to younger people - that's where they have the edge over rival companies such as red bull and relentless. Monster has this 'aura of cool' about it, it's a different marketing spin on the other 2 companies - trust me it'll bring lots of younger people into speedway, providing they market it correctly of course.

New Science Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 The chance of any GP in the US will depend on the usual criteria ie BSI finding somebody to put up the money and shoulder the risk,as was the case in the past in Australia and this year in New Zealand.Can,t think of too many names Stateside that jump to mind,maybe BSI could approach their new friends,Monster Energy.
