I found one called speedway programme..but it's the Polish format. "Speedway Programme" by Krzysztof Krygiel was the Android app that I used to use. Can't remember the other one, but I tried it out and it wasn't as good. The Polish one handles British, Polish & Swedish leagues plus GP, SWC & SEC.

stevebrum Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I don't know if there is one or anyone is thinking of doing one, but with modern technology and to keep people that enjoy statistics up to date..would a phone app be of any use? Fill in programme on your phone?? Even if it's something for the younger fans?? Have an App I downloaded from play store that's brilliant, free too. English.

lynnboy Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) Jonathan chapman has come up with a great idea to revolution speedway in the uk with an app but it would never get the backing of the bspa especially while his dad is in charge. Hopefully he will one day be able to put it in place Edited November 17, 2017 by lynnboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmet Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm sorry..but it doesn't do that for me...I just like watching 4 blokes going for it..win or lose I'm not that bothered if the racing is good. They should be trying to make the racing close...not artificially though. ................................................................. That may be the case for you but it certainly isn't with the over whelming majority of other fans. . There's a difference between keeping the score close and exciting, and keeping races close and exciting. . It's possible to have races tight and close, decided on the last bend, but still result in a 50-28 score, (sorry, 60 - 30,) OR having boring trailed-out heats, with 3-3's every time, (or alternate 4-2s / 2-4s). The match is close and can still go to a last heat decider. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H. Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 A squad system of sorts is the way to go, or at least 2 riders doubling up to share one position in a team. At least it creates an association between riders and teams, not just any tom dick or harry turning up! I'm amazed this hasn't been operated for a number 1 also. You could have Nicki Pedersen and Greg Hancock (for arguments sake) sharing a no.1 berth. They only need to do half as many meetings like they want, the fans get a proper number 1, no guests and everyone is happy! Could even get NP and GH to represent the club in the pairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea that creates better attendances has to be a good idea. Die hard supporters who go every meeting are the lifeline of this sport. They should be encouraged rather than abused. They could offer a reward of free admission on the production of 5 used tickets....... Or buy 5 tickets and get one free. They are many ways to show your appreciation. I have always believe every season ticket holder should receive free admission at all away tracks... the chances are it would encourage more fans to attend that would otherwise not bother.... Implementation needs to come from top level so every club supporter can gain these benefits... I cant ever remember any initiation come down from the BSPA regards this, and that shows their lack of promotional attitudes...... How negative some sports are...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How negative some sports are...... how about making season tickets worth having unlike Kings Lynn last season at start of the season you was one meeting better off but by end of season was worse off would have been cheaper to pay on gate what a disgraceful way to treat season ticket holders ? How about buy before 31st Dec you gain 4 meetings if you live 35 miles from the track another meeting off so 5 meetings saved if again bought by 31st December.

acef Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 It's the devil and the blue sea. Reduced admission may work for a short time, but it will slip if the product doesn't change. The sport here needs remodelling. The BSPA needs disbanding, and an independent body putting in charge. Rebuild after that. For as long as the current jobs for the boys continues, so will the brown envelopes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that is exactly the reason why they need to. Where once upon a time we had loads of supporters, and stadiums were filled most weeks. But now we have faster bikes, in better tracks and the dwindling crowds still stay away. The supporters at Lynn last year were taken for granted and treated very badly, Subsequently, the attendance dropped considerable. It would be wrong to assume these fans we automatically return next year, From my experience, once fans stop going, it takes a game-changer for these fans to return. We can all think of many reasons why supporters don't go any more, but we have great difficulty in thinking of ideas, implemented, that would encourage them to return. Taking the view you posted above is typical of the way the promoter thinks. We only attract 600 fans each week, so they will have to foot the bill.... rather than try to push the sport forward by promoting in the positive manner. If the whole sport advertised these attendance bonuses, I'm sure it would benefit from the interest it would create. It might even be the 'Game-changer' in persuading those stayaway fans to return. One thing for sure it won't make the attendances drop like everything else seems to do..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
