mdmc82 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) An official bspa announcement was made before Leicesters match about live streaming. Anyone caught would be banned from all tracks for life, has this been announced before meetings at all tracks ? . Nothing was announced before Coventry meetings. Sometimes it could be good advertisement for the sport as people might not have seen much speedway before so the periscope feeds could give them more idea. It's not like people are going to see any to tempt them anywhere else if Sky are going to call off every meeting for even the slight threat of a shower.

Game On Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Nothing was announced before Coventry meetings. You would do well to hear the announcement with the fantastic speaker system at Coventry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 How would they be able to do that? Are they going to plaster your face over every track That was my question, and what happens if you refuse to let them take a picture of you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointsmeanplayoffs Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Interesting chat about this on the new speedway podcast 'Home Straight' from the EDP. Anyone know when the somewhat restrictive contract with the current broadcaster ends? Until then, it seems hands are tied to a certain extent sadly. Shocking lack of foresight shown by who ever agreed to the current deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Would be interested to know how they would enforce a ban at all tracks. Sniffer dogs on the coaches and cars going into Stoke and Buxton? Maybe they will allow you to attend the postponed rain offs though as a gesture of goodwill...!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countershaftcounter Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 would be interesting to know their alternative plan for publicising the sport as they are "looking into all forms of social media" Is there a plan ? Is there an intention of a plan ? Is there a meeting planned about planning the intention of planning a plan ? Somehow I don't think so ….. Good question If you just streamed a rain shower for 10 minutes with no racing going on, would that be classed as a speedway meeting ?

SteveLyric2 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 All the warnings that I've seen or heard state 'no filming without prior permission'! This presumably means there might be a way forward?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 All the warnings that I've seen or heard state 'no filming without prior permission'! This presumably means there might be a way forward?! They have already indicated that it's against SKY'S deal so I'd be very surprised any filming of RACING would be strictly prohibited. That said surely any promotion would welcome action from the pits, rider interviews , fan interaction etc. Maybe that is something they might allow?

BurntFaceMan Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 It's laughable really! As if anybody is going to sit at home and watch a crappy periscope feed over going to the real thing? The last couple Shovlar uploaded I could barely pick out track, besides the riders, the helmet colours or any of the actual racing. An over the top reaction motivated by desperation to please Sky and/or an irrational fear of fans picking periscope over actually attending a match. Either way the aggressive rhetoric is completely unnessacary. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way the aggressive rhetoric is completely unnessacary. Except they do. The Bet365 coverage was one camera, no commentary poor picture... yet people stayed home to watch it. Yet we're expected to believe the free loaders that this crappy coverage will somehow entice new fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert72 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 THE BSPA would like to remind all fans that it is illegal to stream any portion of meetings without prior permission from the Association. In recent weeks there has been an increase in the number of occasions when meetings have been shown using the app Periscope. This is a breach of copyright, is against our agreement with BSkyB and GSI, and will be taken very seriously by all clubs within the Sport. Anyone found to be live streaming meetings without prior agreement will be banned from attending matches across the leagues. As a sport it is important we embrace the ever-changing world of social media, but at the same time we also have to protect our product.

Cannot see how they can expect a steward to police it and take action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
