Mac, hang your head in shame, you reprobate.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

I'll have you know I did mention the Forum & more than once !

In fact I made it quite clear that the forum was much better than the FB page & FB in general TBH...

I pointed out that loads more FBites had said they were coming along & just didn't show prob coz of the rain...

Prob to busy polishing their add on tat or reving the nuts off their bikes in the garage to video flames coming out their dan moto pipes, which are really loud you know... :roll:

So nah to you mr Late arrival, due to the rain wasnt it?

Strange he chose to completely ignore the forum and concentrate on the FB aspect. What ratio FB to VTR.org were the attendees? Do Bennetts get some kind of reward/bonus for promoting FB or is it just the usual "journalistic licence" (bullsh1t).

It's the yoof of today Kev, everything is more geared towards FB & smart phones ect...On the Storm FB pages ther are a quite a few Forum members & a few more who are members but who spend much more time on FB than on here...

Theres no accounting for taste is there...

As for the Simons angle, well he was contacted by Rob initially via FB I guess. When Rob asked me to take the lead I contacted him via FB as well but I did mention the forum several times during discussions...

I think thats the case Mac. The initial contact was actually with Simon Bowen which was forum related basically. When Simon contacted me he did so through Facebook but by that point I was in Northern Ireland and I sent him towards Mac. I think he mentioned FB because thats where the contact was. He also saw the FB event page too. He isnt a member here so I suppose it slipped his mind unfortunately.

Theres always the 50th!!!

There's some good pics there fellas and looks like it was a good crack, shame about the weather! I'm getting the impression Mac your a hit of a reprobate but I must say I probably would have been the same. Do you guys run a FB page as well? I'm not not on FB but might confident it if its easier to post.
