waiheke1 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) I'm just waiting for the announcement that instead of referring to riders by name, they will henceforth be referred to in race cards, media etc. by their sponsors name instead. A trend started by Mason Wear for anyone not up to date with bsf hot topics... Edited March 24, 2015 by waihekeaces1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trend started by Mason Wear for anyone not up to date with bsf hot topics... Were they not a supplier of formal evening garments worn by members of the freemasons back in the 80s. They were from Glasgow if I remember rightly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trend started by Mason Wear for anyone not up to date with bsf hot topics... Last years attempt to refer to all riders by a number failed so why not sponsors?!

Popular Post Grand Central Posted March 24, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm glad that Andy and Joanne are so delighted with their association. Not so sure myself. Being known as 'Two Minute Tomlin'. Is not something that should please Him. Or, indeed, Her. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 THERE will be an additional two-minute clock in the pits this year which will be used to speed up the time it takes for riders to come to the scoreboard for the draw for the semis and final. Once the Race Director or Referee hits the button riders will have two minutes to take their place or otherwise forfeit their place in the pecking order.

spiegal Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 To be honest I think that any Sponsor should be made welcome....Meridian are long term sponsors and should be a good addition to the event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Its not the fact the 2 minute clock is being sponsored, its the meeting or series that is sponsored. Its obvious that the 2 minute clock is a brilliant place to have your sponsor banner (advertising), after all the tv cameras will be focusing on one of the 3 (4 if you add the pits clock-see post #10), great advertising for Meridan Lifts I reckon, what a shrewd move.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 (edited) It is the subliminal nature of this form of advertising that concerns me the most. Being of a rather suggestive nature myself. I fear that come the end of April I shall find myself making a phone call to those nice people to arrange delivery of an elevator. All of my own. I have succumbed to many on-screen deals in the past and just had to pay up. So it is not the cost that worries me from making such an impulsive purchase. My real worry is that I live in a Bungalow. . Edited March 25, 2015 by Grand Central Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
