True I don’t sell cars like the Facennas, but they are not skilled in my area of business either. Clearly they are raking it in at Glasgow Speedway not to worry bout a trifling few thousand quid extra a week that a stream could generate. “Sell cars”…………….lol Edited July 22, 2023 by ragdoll64 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should a margin of error be put in since they are not using the first part of the bike over the line? the transponder line at glasgow is about half a wheel length behind the start line so when the tyre crosses the line it picks up the winner 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's certainly what the BSN guys have said when asked how/why they started. Are Glasgow now the only Championship side NOT offering a stream? Don't think Oxford do may be wrong Im sure the experts will put me right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may be successful business people and good for them making money can't fault that at all but successful speedway promoters clearly not yet, money doesn't buy trophies/win leagues etc Poole have the knack of building winning teams and winning trophies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same time as Edinburgh but I think our meeting Vs Kent was before Edinburgh had a meeting (could be wrong and no doubt be put in my place if I am lol). Full season was streamed through a 3rd party QTV. While yes absolutely more expensive they know exactly what the audience is and what effect have on attendances and have decided not to have it. Us and Oxford I thought? Wasn't Peter Facenna prepared to stream meetings if sufficient volunteers were prepared to come forward to run it.

Although if streaming is going to affect anyone's attendance I think it will be Oxford with their admission policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cast1rn Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 It was brought up at one of the Q&A's with the Facennas and don't quote me exactly but I believe it cost £5000 a meeting to have the stream done, because they had an outside company do it (same one as Celtic had during Covid), they didn't want a "big Dave and his go pro" having a go at it if they were asking people to pay for it so opted out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole and Plymouth are done for a fraction of that price. They should have a word with the Edinburgh promotion or Redcar who both do it in house. And well less than a grand. Where’s the expect if done in house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow do what they like regarding streaming and from that perspective they are doing what they consider the sensible thing for them. And that’s being polite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
