LisaColette Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 Nothing on their fixture list. Maybe they are so good they don't need any practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Johnson Posted February 12, 2023 Report Share Posted February 12, 2023 “The seven supporters will then be placed into a random draw to see which rider they get. We will probably do the draw on our press and practice day before next season. We will invite the seven supporters along then they can have their photo taken with their rider in their race-suit.” Taken from website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 I can never understand why P&P day is during the week (having to book time off work if wanting to attend....plus kids are at school etc)....wouldn't a Saturday/Sunday be more suitable... It's an opportunity to promote the Club etc..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The press coverage should be promoting the sport in the area and aimed at 'new' faces, with a sample of the sport F.O.C ! Expand The only people who would attend would be the hardcore fans. A press and practice watching riders go round by themselves isn’t exactly going to appeal to fresh faces is it. As you said it’s to get pictures of the new one to seven and for some press guys to report and do some interviews about the new season. Press and practice sessions aren’t for getting fresh faces in to watch. If you’ve ever been to one they’re actually quite boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
