Steve Shovlar Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Starting this one early. There are many Poole fans and fans of other clubs who would very much like to watch this meeting. But the cost of fuel and distance prohibits nearly every fan from coming up to Glasgow. A 918 mile round trip from Poole, taking 10-12 hours each way with breaks for food and rest. How about Glasgow putting on a live stream for this meeting? Even if it’s a single camera. I and many would be happy to pay £12 for the privilege of following the action this way. Pretty sure a few hundred would fork out to watch this battle. What about it Glasgow promotion? As for the meeting, it should be a cracker. Both teams are destined for the playoffs. Glasgow with home advantage should win but Poole are no pushovers as the Tigers know from last season. Thoughts on the chances of a stream? Zero, or can it be suggested? And the meeting itself?

I do agree with you though this is a meeting that should be streamed if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyretrax Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Someone has been filming for a couple of weeks from the scafolding tower on the first bend, perhaps a trial for streaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Tyretrax says below someone has been filming and footage of one race was on the official Facebook page earlier this month. So maybe a chance of something happening.

A single camera stream is not within the rules of live streaming set by Eurosport unfortunately! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a simple email contact form on the Glasgow website. I've asked Danny Ford if he could make an official request.

BROCK Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 Funnily enough I emailed Redcar on Thursday morning enquiring about a live stream and they replied no. Then about 6 hours later I got an email saying that they will now be doing a live stream. Let's hope Glasgow will do the same. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted May 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 I have contacted the club and sent the following message. Perhaps if enough did so we could sway them into providing a stream. Hi there, there are plenty of Poole and neutral fans who would love to watch this meeting on a live stream. I can understand under normal circumstances not offering a live feed but this is a top clash between the best two teams in the league, in a time when travelling the length of the county is prohibitive due to fuel costs. I would be happy to pay for a stream even if it is a single camera setup to save costs. Pretty sure it would be well subscribed to. Please consider it. Kind regards Steve Shovlar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
