Plus a percentage of each sale to payment processing/platform costs. It is not just as easy as saying "it should be streamed" Where are you getting the cost from?

The cost for setting up a one-off stream from a stadium which has no facility already set up? At least £3K...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Perhaps the promotion should have contacted Andy who streams weekly from Poole and Plymouth. I very much doubt he would have charged anywhere near that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackett Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Wishing all involved at Oxford Cheetahs Speedway every success tonight and for remainder of the season. Hopefully all that attend enjoy the occasion and return. I will certainly look to take the kids during the school holidays as this is now the nearest track to Surrey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Good luck to all involved tonight & hope it is an entertaining meeting for all the punters. Shame, as others have said, it is not being streamed, even by BSN, as being a sell out for a reopening after 15 years. It could be difficult for most teams riders as having no set up information in these early meetings(unless guest appearances) so Oxford should hold an advantage for these early meetings. Even though it is 15 years, would it be worthwhile to tap up Tai, Joe Haines or Byron Becker who last rode there in '07 for info? Just Joking. I have not found any information of track size, shape or whether it is similar to other tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Best of luck to everyone for a successful relaunch. With no home advantage as a brand new track, despite Scunthorpe's away issues could be pretty close. I'll go 49-41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Oxford have had a P & P day incorporating 2 rider races. I am pretty sure they will not have turned out for an hour of photos & a quick spin but with Crump & Nicholls involved, it would have turned into a 3 or 4 hour full on practice, set ups & racing lines session. Even the junior riders have come out & said racing lines will develop out wide & dive bombing into turn 1 could make overtaking opportunities.

IronScorpion Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Up North, Birmingham have had 2 showers in the last few hours, 1 tropical as 1 poster put it & their meeting is now off. After going to the rain radar website, I noticed the rain headed eastwards but there looked to have a few showers passing over or around Oxford. I hope all is still well & good to go(decent track staff?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
