Backless Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Good God. There's nothing like Elsie & Albert's 40th Wedding Anniversary request to get the place a'rockin'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedwayTShirts Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) All 3 tracks where I was involved with the presentation last year (Stoke, Coventry & Birmingham) had a Speedway Shout Facility where you could text, tweet or email in any requests/mentions etc. We also had a Facebook Check In at Stoke and Birmingham which got you a shout out over the tannoy system. Twitter is a great idea too so we will be going with that again in 2013, any other suggestions would be greatfully received. @speedwayshout is our twitter. Music choice is always a toughie so we try and play a mixture, we have a 420 track playlist on Spotify called Speedway Music which is a mixture of fan requests and our own suggestions if anyone fancies a look or listen. Username is djsuperbart - Chris Simpson. This link may work if you use Spotify but I'm not sure http://t.co/OrfJ1kWw Edited February 16, 2013 by Chris BIKERfm SpeedwayShow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) I know that I have seen in the programmes that both Coventry and Leicester have a DJ to play the music and they take requests and birthdays by text and Twitter I think Likewise Poole have been doing this for years!! But with the vast age range, as at most tracks, the chances of getting the music to everyone's taste is somewhat unlikely.

SCB Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Good God. There's nothing like Elsie & Albert's 40th Wedding Anniversary request to get the place a'rockin'. OMG what have you got against OAPs, you bastard. You want them to die. How dare you. They have been going to speedway for 60 years you know? They deserve a mention. At Peterborough it's not Wedding Anniversaries but birthday requests. I'm always amazed at how many styles of happy birthday they play each week, the people of Peterborough must have 3 or 4 birthdays a year!

MattK Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Damn. I was hoping this would be a thread about getting a proper DJ to play some banging techno during the races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topcat Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Interviews in the crowd,but must have a "big screen" to show it on. Could Samsung or any alternative producer not be enticed to advertise their products etc by supplying the "big screen". PS I know before anyone posts that we already have the best Screen at Ashfield!

raymondbudd Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Presenters should read out tweets inbetween heats and during the break, clearly an element of moderation would be required however it would be a good way to make the fans in the stadium feel more involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
