micman Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 A few people have suggested that it might be a good idea to set up my own dedicated speedway Facebook page to feature the 1000's of old photos from the 60's & 70's and share some of my video clips from 2006 onwards. I've found some programmes that we produced for Motors TV back in the day too so what do you think? Are there enough speedway groups already on there or do you think more speedway fans would enjoy a dedicated page just for these videos and photos? Thinking along the lines of 'Bennett's Speedway Stuff' but open to suggestions! :-) Let me know and if enough people are interested I'll set it up this week. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Clemens Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Do it because it is a worthwhile project plus it might catch the interest of people who don't know anything about speedway. And if it doesn't matter to people in speedway and no one outside of speedway shows any interest, you will soon find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micman Posted April 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Thanks for the response. Quite a few folk on Facebook have said they would be interested so I'll set it up this week. There are many unpublished old Black and white photos from the late 60's and 70's to keep any speedway fan interested :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the trouble with FB groups. Just copied stuff from elsewhere, which makes it almost unnecessary to join a new group , as the stuff will probably be on the other groups within hours if not sooner. The same people posting stuff all over 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micman Posted April 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 550 plus members in just a few days so clearly we must be doing something right. The majority of photos will not be shared on any other group pages but the video clips may be posted on other sites. Come and have a look if you like the old Black and white photo era of the late 60's and 70's :-) https://www.facebook.com/groups/300758520920134/about/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I cannot see how you can prevent a photo/group photos that initially appear on the new group later appear - with original source credit of course - elsewhere on Facebook? The SHARE option is part and parcel of the Facebook doctrine. However I understand your concerns retake to a photo you place being dragged/downloaded from your Post. Again, and not being well versed in the 'art of Facebook' but I have an idea there MAY be a way of preventing this happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micman Posted April 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Thanks for your response Gustix and glad you like the group. I'm actually happy for the images to be shared. What I meant as that I personally wouldn't be posting the photos to multiple speedway sites. I'm just happy that my late Dad's photos from Hampden Park in Glasgow are being seen for the first time. He would have liked that :-) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 I see you have requested only your pics or pics related to you are posted. Think that is a good idea to stop the group becoming yet another with the same photo posted over and over 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
