Popular Post teaboy279 Posted October 21, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 I 've only been with the team for 5 years but I sense that Sue probably ages twice as fast as the rest of us, literally her phone must never be more then a foot away from her charger. I can say the best texters to read can be the most hard work for the updaters. Often halfway through typing heat 10 comments and heat 12 result is coming through. Often it means ignoring visitors or family to sit in front a laptop, updating a meeting that sparks no enthusiasm in me, but I know to someone somewhere stuck at work or at a family do those updates are the most significant part of their day. As it would be for me if i was following a Kent away fixture I couldn't get too. That's why it works, we are all fans and want to know how our teams(or favourite riders) are doing and that's why it has worked for so long. It's for the fans by the fans. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame we don't see her much on the forum these days. It's been invaluable to me for staying in touch. I know this is an old post but things got a bit eek in October/November with my dad. I started doing updates as a texter and sometime updater when it was the old site with Krissie back in 2002 ish, we moved to our current site in March 2005 and I've been at the helm ever since (albeit reluctantly at first). Re posting here, I read a lot but don't post that often as my personal opinion could have a negative impact on the site. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct with regards to the phone and charger but you forgot the extra charges each year for all the hair dye I have to use now to cover the grey and the site has given me plenty over the years! I confuzzle people with my texts, I can be sarcastic and flighty all at the same time and no-one quite knows how to react (although I think Fozzie got the hang of it in the end and just ignored my OTT/Silly texts and thankfully never posted my unladylike language). Oh and I must bore them too, everyday chasing, everyday asking the same questions, sometimes several times a day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sidney the robin Posted January 22, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 A brilliant service for all of us a real unsung hero, something we should never take for granted.This forum sometimes gets some stick but the guys who do the updates are proper speedway people who really care and make a difference. 9 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
