0.16 of a point .keeps us from including Tommy ? Bloody ridiculous whats 0.16 of a point really ? Surely the sport is about entertainment and excitment and in all fairness I would much prefer to watch Tommy Gun flying round Scunny than (and no disrespect) Tero Aarnio. This is where Speedway starts to look silly. 0.16 of a point I ask you ?arrrgh 

I agree totally I’m not saying it’s a good thing !

What happens when another team is just 0.16 above scunnys 0.16 and so forth. There has to be a cut off point somewhere!

He rode forBerwick for half a season without any problem it would seem.You either are eligible for a visa or not IMO.Tero was a strange case.He either broke the rules or got dumped.Why was he not able to resolve it.

Don't worry, I'm sure Godfrey himself is working very hard behind the scenes to bend the rules ever so slightly :D Hence the delay in announcements...

0.16 doesn't stop Scunny signing Jorgensen, just stops him signing with the other 6. Replace Kinsley with a 2.00 man or Kennedy with MacDonald & Jorgensen fits  - simple!

There will always be potential teams just over the points limit, but if you allow a team to be 0.16 over, another will want to declare 0.25 over & so on!

Im guessing visa's run yearly from when you get one? Teros may run from Aug to Aug?

Is this part of a college thesis type project, club based, media company or just volunteers?

Not part of a college project.. Robs pumped thousands of £££ into this, myself and MKJ working to bring you guys the best streams in speedway in 2022

I dont think streaming of Home meetings would be as popular as streaming Away meetings ? Most of us will make it a date Fridays at the EWR come what may. But a trek down to Plymouth or Poole mid week is a bit more of a commitment. Thats where streaming comes in. I streamed the Away meetimg at Edinburgh last season and it was decent quality as a production. Albeit the racing itself was not the greatest. So if we are offering Scorpions TV in 2022 then take up is likely to be more the Away fans than Scunny fans and vice versa when we are on our travels.

Agreed. Just hope its not just one camera plonked on top of the tin can stand. Hopefully it will work better than the scoreboard and Rob's completely clapped out PA system- which I would have preferred the money to be spent on.

Will you be live streaming home meetings? And a reduced price delayed video that you can watch at your leisure would be a good addition too. Realistically Scunny fans that are available on a Friday night will be there, but if you have a prior arrangement then watching a recording is the next best thing.
