I was just thinking it's a shame Craig doesn't have a site set up like Jamie’s. You have to pay to go on www.lowndesforce.com.au which I did but then after a year it runs out and you have to pay to be able to log in again.
Jamie if you read this I was wondering if you could suggest that Craig has something similar to your site so his fans can have profiles and discussions without having to keep paying every year, after all we support both of you.

I agree with you. I wanted to sign up with Craigs site as well but was put off by the yearly cost/s involved. I would definately sign up with Craigs site if he ran one like Jamies.

good call erin I was also a member of Lowndesforce, but as you for only 1 year , then I let it run out too

Same. Been a member for 2 years but membership is up just about now and I think I’ll let it lapse cos there aren’t too many benefits from it. I’ve gotten more up close and personal with JW on this site than I have with Craig by paying money on Lowndesforce. Nothing against Craig - but the best things in life are free!! JW’s site is a prime example

I agree Erin I paid again this year for Lowndes Force Membership. I am a huge Lowndes and Jamie fan but i agree Craig needs to do some changes to his site. I love Jamies site hopefully he can suggest something to Craig.

agree very much Erin, i signed up this year for the 1st time (have wanted to sign up for years, but never got around to it) anyway, compared to JW.com.au CL’s is fairly average. Not Craigs fault as he doesnt run the site or do the updates, but last time i was n there, the latest race records they had finished at 2004 nothing from his most successful stint while at T8..
the good stuff is the pics and so on, but defineatly not worth paying $45 a year for, and lets face it the stuff that you get when you sign up is nicely put CRAP, a few good things in there, but com’on an RSPCA pencil case? I would prefer to get the hat, a signed & numbered membership cert. maybe a pen or the key ring and use the rest of the money to make a decent site like Jamie’s…
Well done to Matt, Tobes etc they have done a FANTASTIC JOB on here, especially cos its FOC!!!
No offence to CL just his management team

i too have been a force member for two years and its true we dont get much for the money we pay craig never talks to us like here and the stuff he give out not very nice cheap.
so yes jamie talk to him and see what you can do.

ok.

i have been a member of lowndes force for about 3 years now. I think a big chunk of the yearly fee goes as a donation to the RSPCA doesnt it ? i could be wrong.
but this page is alot more interactive and a little more personal for the fans
renay nott 3:59 am June 24th 2008
i agree with everyone I was excited to join the lowndes force but have disappointed he never talks and it the same thing that it published on the teamvodafone website so we can go there to look at it for free and he hasnt even updated he dairy since march i think .Im disappointed .jw site is so much better I love coming on here and chatting with everyone
Des Collings 8:23 am June 24th 2008
Agree with you Erin I was a member of Lowndesforce for 1 year but felt for the money it was not worth it and really feel there should be more interaction in the site, Jamie should have a quite word to CL to change the site a bit and be a little more involved.In JWC we feel as if we belong to some thing like we are an extended family or some thing ( yea may sound a bit silly) but the more you interact with people in our JWC site the more you feel part of it .
And the more we meet up here and there I feel that will grow eg: our Tshirts idea and all that as well.
Cheryl 12:19 pm June 25th 2008
I must say i agree… unfortunately I can’t afford to pay the fee to join…. Being a newbie I was very suprised at the quality of this site! It rocks…… Has a great feel to it…..
Matt Cousins 7:34 pm June 25th 2008
Now why would we encourage people to copy what we have done………………..We want the fans to keep on comin to JW.com.au!
Cheryl 8:20 pm June 25th 2008
good call matt!!!!
Ornella 3:46 pm June 29th 2008
yeah i tried to become a member
then when i accepted they said i had to pay $65
i was like holy crap!
mums gonna kill me so i quickly exited and then never went back!
Andrew Robinson 7:09 pm June 29th 2008
I haven't been a member of LF - having to pay up front put me straight off.
However, there are few sites, which offer some capability for free - and additional capability for a fee, and I have paid for one ( a reunion site, which has subsequently become free.)
There are also some free forums which have a 'donate' option, which I do contribute to from time to time. If the site is good enough, I'll support it - but I want to see what I'm getting first.
Donna Jarvis 10:31 am July 1st 2008
I refuse to pay to go on any website. Be it Lowndes, or any other celebrity. Why should we pay for the privilege of being a member of their site, yet we fork out heaps of money on their merchandise etc etc. No offence to Craig or his management but if we can fork out money to buy their products and stuff, then surely they can afford the cost of website and their time.

I have been a Craig lowndes supporter for many years and have been a paid member of his fan club for the last 2years and this will be my last i am very dissapointed with the content this year.Craig seem’s to be too busy with every thing else to give much attention to his fan club,i think i will put my money into a team vodafone member ship instead.
BecM 3:27 pm July 13th 2008
I wholeheartedly agree - Lowndesforce isn’t the site it used to be. But, I am pretty sure the membership fee goes towards a worthy charity.
It’s just such a shame that you’re expected to pay to support a driver.
Good work Matt, Tobes and gang for giving the fans something worthy. Keep up the good work
