Assuming the league is going to be run on a similar program as last year, the first slot to fill has to be the 3rd heatleader. I've got Procter down for that , I'm sure he'll be able to up his scores, and together with Niels and Lambert we should be able to compete with most teams on the HL front. (apart from Poole and Leicester) . Our middle order riders of Jorgensen and team Lewis may not be the best in the league, but they are all decent gaters. That could be the defining difference helping them to win races. But it also enable us to have one of those 3 riding in the reserves, and that is a big plus. To me, Andersen is a massive gamble. From all accounts he is a talented young man who could go far, but not having ridden on any of the UK tracks before will be a big disadvantage. Its going to be a big learning curve for him, one that could make the difference of where Lynn finish up.... When you consider he comes into our team on an assessed score of 5, and there are a few decent riders out there on a 5, the promoters must have plenty faith that he will deliver... We wait with anticipation ..... Looking at the other team assembled, there are one or two that standout really strong, but the majority are of similar to Lynn with some strong riders and some not so strong. Yes I think we are capable of a top 4 finish, but to achieve that everyone has to play their part. When you have that belief, you can achieve anything...... I'm sure TJ will have something to say about that one.A bit of heathy competition would be good 7 hours ago, g13webb said: Edited February 13, 2018 by Bald Bloke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is everything sorted on that Trees ? At last I might be able to help the club from a far, please click the link below for a free 'introduction to GDPR' e-learning course and if anyone at the supporters club wants a complimentary upgrade to the full course just send me an inbox message and I will provide it. https://uk.bablearn.com/introduction-to-gdpr-knowledge-awareness- Communication with stakeholders is key to the success of any organisation, and I would hate to see the stars get on top of this and then fall foul to a fine of up to 20million euro if they do not handle the data correctly.

I understand you comment about TJ , who last year was a revelation. The reason I opted for Proctor was I feel he is more likely to make bigger strides than the other three, who have been competing at their acquired CMA, these past years. I'm not to say they won't improve, but I believe it will be harder for them to make them big steps that Proctor could make. . Proctor can go either way, very good or disastrously bad. I'm going for the positive and see him making up for all that lost time. One thing for sure, he'll give it everything..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed the AFA last year, and asked if they were still doing the rain-off texting service. (I was told on this forum it was still in operation) I was subscribed years ago, but suddenly the texts stopped coming? Did I get a reply to my query....Nope, totally ignored. So this season, if it looks like rain, or there are strong winds or any other possible reason the meeting may be off, I'll stay at home. So if you are reading this Mr Brundle, get the texting service back in operation, advertise it on the Club web site, make sure it works properly and once you have a database of fans mobile numbers, if they approve, use those numbers for match day updates and such like. Not rocket science is it? I would like to comment but under the terms of my bail I have to remain positive with my glass half full rather than half empty- so I’m sure everything will be rosy and the texting service will return ASAP So no need to worry . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) I would have thought that with a new promoter and a media person appointment, one of the initiatives for 2018 would have been an open channel of feedback so that the new promoter could hear of the ideas and opinions of fans re why a number of them of them felt disenchanted. Sweeping "bad years" under the carpet and merely urging fans to "move on", serves no purpose whatsoever. Hearing from any disillusioned fans should be seen as helpful as the KLS promotion could then address some of those issues, ready for the start of the 2018 season. Another lost opportunity?

(Not rocket science is it op !!!) That would positively be my advice!! I emailed Robin Brundle yesterday, with the suggestion about the rain-off texting service as a positive suggestion to help fans from having a wasted journey. I will let this forum know when (and IF) I receive a reply from him. Oh, and I wasn't bitching, simply stating a fact. I received no reply.

A text subscription service is expensive where you can do that via Email, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and the official website. Think that is a waste of money compared to what else you could spend the money on. Free ways of reaching more people faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club don't answer email queries, don't have questions from the floor at the fans forum and I seriously doubt read this forum. How exactly are they to know they could provide this service, which many fans would be grateful for. Maybe Bald Bloke or another positive thinker could provide the answer.. All evidence I have is that the BSPA monitor a lot of what’s posted on here and clearly react sometimes to it as their own PR,s often suggest, some even post under their own names, a lot more do it under obscure user names. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying hard not to be negative here. It would seem Lynn are not one of the clubs that do monitor the BSF as they have not reacted. Perhaps the addition of Robin Brundle might change that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
