SharpenRake Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Opening fixtures normally attract big crowds. Matches against Northern teams normally attract visiting fans desperate to see their team in action. Yet for some reason this match has been chosen to be one of Glasgow's streamed meetings. This is likely to result in few if any diamonds fans making the journey north which would be a shame as they are a good lot, normally. Surely a meeting between the Tigers and Poole or Plymouth for example is the type of meeting that should be streamed. Anyway a comfortable home win for the Tigers is the prediction with very few viewers watching the stream. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However using your own logic the majority of the meetings involving Glasgow, Edinburgh, Plymouth and Poole as the home team would be streamed as by their location they have the longest journies for the majority of visiting fans. Allowing that the Oxford first home meeting was always likely to be a sell out maybe that should have been picked as a streamed meeting.

Jaizer Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Be disappointed if we don't hit 60. Is Harris guesting for bwd? Wouldn't be surprised!! Guess fact 3 of our guys not had any competitive action this season so far might keep it competitive for a bit as diamonds be up to speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If required given past ashfield experience assume be Barker then. Actually hope it is now, be more entertaining at least Edited April 11, 2022 by Jaizer . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szkocjasid Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) This match has the potential to be the biggest win of the season so far, not easy when you look at the Leicester scores! Very surprised this match was chosen by the BSN for their stream! Edited April 11, 2022 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted April 12, 2022 Report Share Posted April 12, 2022 It seems obvious that the stream isn't about providing entertainment for the neutral....I'm guessing that they think they'll get more viewers from an 'away-supporter' purchase? Stream all away matches for the best supported teams? it's a business and not a service by looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one can predict the entertainment value in a speedway match irrespective of the the score line.Have seen dozens of matches over time that on paper didn’t look attractive but on track were cracking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle’s the worst supported team in the league 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
