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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be a cut off point somewhere! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where Speedway starts to look silly. 0.16 of a point I ask you ?arrrgh 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! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric i Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Have the averages on BSPA website taken out the Eastbourne scores? On the Berwick thread someone seems to think TJ is on a 7.10 average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebaron Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess these sort of streams are mainly used by away supporters, so if Edinburgh can make it pay why not Scunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
