What is Robson saying?

pete55 · 28 Apr 2004, 02:43 (Ref:954076)

After reading Robson's editorial in this weeks AA i'm confused. The last paragraph is what i'm referring to. Can anybody decifer it for me?

I think he feels as if he gave the Procar mob the curse of the black jelly bean after giving them a good wrap after previous events, maybe?

Any word on today's meeting at the Quirks factory?

Pete, did you borrow AA from an idiot friend or did you read it in the newsagency?

pete55 · 28 Apr 2004, 04:39 (Ref:954112)

I bought the thing because it's bloody raining.

Crash Test · 28 Apr 2004, 06:06 (Ref:954154)

Was it the worst issue ever?

Personally, I reckon you'll be doing well to complain about everything

pete55 · 28 Apr 2004, 06:08 (Ref:954157)

I wasn't going to say that Crash, in case i upset you.

Great article by Fogarty on Senna in todays AA- really good reading!

**GTRMagic** · 28 Apr 2004, 10:57 (Ref:954460)

If the title headline on teh front page is symbolic of the way things will be done at the new AA, its not really worth the bother.

"PROCARKED"

Sensational stuff... never mind that the category manager piddled away $20m of his own money, just use cheap headlines and rubbish to take what could be seen to be some very cheap shots...

Disappointing but not unexpected....

A pity that the first non-V8Supercar (excepting an occasional F1 cover) is like it was.

If they don't think people will but it with Procar stuff as the main cover, why do they think people will buy it reporting Procar's death?

**GTRMagic** · 28 Apr 2004, 11:51 (Ref:954515)

"Ding dong the witch is dead...." and its a Monaro on the cover, and Brock's at that... who knows...

Kinda like kicking the corpse I think

pete55 · 28 Apr 2004, 12:28 (Ref:954564)

Not unexpected at AA though is it!

**GTRMagic** · 28 Apr 2004, 12:32 (Ref:954574)

No... sadly its not....

Crash Test · 28 Apr 2004, 12:42 (Ref:954591)

Alrighty, let's have a front page caption competition.

How about "PROCAR closes down; Palmer spent $10.5"? Go on, do something better

**GTRMagic** · 28 Apr 2004, 20:36 (Ref:955010)

If you read the other thread I just put up, it seems nobody at AA took the time to assess the impact of what actually happened... so to say PROCARKED it is more than mildly inaccurate and premature!!

Crash Test · 28 Apr 2004, 21:40 (Ref:955107)

That sort of spirit isn't going to win you the headline competition!

Good Old Bazza · 28 Apr 2004, 23:10 (Ref:955232)

How about:
Palmer Pulls Plug, but competitors striving for ressurgence!

Mattracer · 29 Apr 2004, 10:29 (Ref:955570)

"Pro-re-incarnation".

There's life Ross but not as we know it".

Just Do It! · 29 Apr 2004, 10:43 (Ref:955577)

Procar-eation?

pete55 · 29 Apr 2004, 11:17 (Ref:955601)

I'm waiting with baited breath for the story about Procar in next weeks AA. It should be a ripper............

I think!

**GTRMagic** · 29 Apr 2004, 11:19 (Ref:955603)

Well they wont be able to urinate on the corpse as they managed to try this week... wonder what the new angle will be?

Give Robbo some time to make changes but I'm sure he is watching this thread and others elsewhere and realises the ground swell of anger that grew and grew under foggies leadership.

stoned pony · 30 Apr 2004, 04:15 (Ref:956358)

I bought AA to read on a flight out of Melbourne yesterday. I had not bought a copy in about six months because, the last copy I had was, quite frankly, rubbish.
Sadly, it has not improved. I thought about sending it back to the publisher and asking for my $4.95 back.
Instead, I just left it on the plane. It was just easier to let the trolley dollies chuck it in the bin.
I'll make another donation to AA in about a year's time so I can see if it has improved.
Somehow I think I'll be disappointed.

Did Foggy last longer than 6months,hardly time to geat a "ground swell of anger" going in reality.I think that if you looked back through the posts you would see this happening looooong before Foggy returning,and he seems to be going to a lot of O/S races so perhaps it was just a caretaker role anyway.
Funny , the more you use the internet forums the worse that AA/MSN seem to be doing,ahhhh we are spoilt.I remember having to wait untill Thursday to get an AA to find out what was going on,and regional TV has not been the most diligent motorsport broadcaster over the years.
