NixM Posted August 18, 2015 Share I would like transparency and clarity that concerns about safety are been taken seriously. I don't want newspaper articles and cryptic tweets. If I get that I will ride another of his events no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombeej Posted August 18, 2015 Share Tell you what. If Farmer Glen banned them for simply raising a serious concern, I will boycott all of his rides. If he banned them for another transgression (like throwing toys and threatening him), I will not and will you concede to never ride any of his rides again?

If I get that I will ride another of his events no problemAnswer my question please. If you truly believe that he banned them for "simply raising a concern" you should have no problem doing so. BUT the logic in us all says that is probably not what happened, but the band wagon is simply too juicy for us to not get on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a third side to this story (the truth), it would be nice for the S2C admin to make a statement clarifying this. I did not feel safe on the Sani and this is serious enough, in my opinion, that the organisers need to address it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(like we do) They need be careful how to reply to accusation of this nature. Even something as simple as telling the truth bluntly could stir up a negative reaction. If an individual makes a tweet that is bollocks we all dismiss it quickly, but look at how people have reacted to FG's tweet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I hope he would. Agreed, but an organization like Sani2c doesnt have the luxury of going to the media with just "any version" of events simply to just be heard.

They have a very fine line to tread and a misstep could not only cost them dearly but other stage races as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plentipotential Posted August 18, 2015 Share Agreed, but an organization like Sani2c doesnt have the luxury of going to the media with just "any version" of events simply to just be heard. (like we do) I'm not sure that anyone has that luxury. At some point the truth will out. What is glaringly obvious is that Glen Haw has declined to comment as told by the Sunday Times. What we do know from experience is that the sooner the other party puts forward their side of the story the better. And in the PR world sooner means hours not days! I am amazed that this has not been responded to by the organisers of the event. Surely the Sani is no longer a husband and wife organization and do not need to wait for Glen Haw to return to the race office. The Cape Epic remains the bench mark.

NGUTF Posted August 18, 2015 Share I will put 20 buck on it that it was their reaction to not getting the reaction that they wanted that caused Farmer Glen to react in the way he did.Yebo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
