Amutuer Speedway League

Recommended Posts

Do I detect a touch of censorship here? I think my comments were reasonable. Obviously they are not. I am sorry to have offended. All I want is to try and establish why there should be a website for a very junior speedway competition. I don't think that's unreasonable.

Hmm, not sure I really understand the question! People start up websites for all sorts of things - and certainly perfectly normal thing to do so for a sporting league competition or similar..: however 'junior' that may be..

 

One could argue the more junior or amateur something is, the more a website devoted to it is needed. After all, one can find out info. about, say, a major Premier League football team easily enough in all sorts of printed & TV media but if you wanted to find out about Bethnal Green United in the Essex Senior, a website set up by that club or its supporters would be almost the only accessible place to get that info.!

 

And thus it is with these junior leagues. Can't imagine the BSPA site giving info. on riders or results or stats so Michael's website should be warmly welcomed...

Totally agree with Parsloes.If someone wants to take the time and effort to set up a site,i fail to see why it should be questioned.Just hope a bit of care is taken over it,as i was quite taken aback by the thread title,but wasn't into taking a pop at someone for a spelling mistake

Just an update. Its all go. i have brought a webname and also got a company to host it. They said it should go live in 48hrs as from Wednesday night at 8pm or less could be 24hrs. As soon as i have seen it live i will put the website address on here. I have built the website but still needs info on the site. the website is still in early parts but as the season goes on it should get better. And for next year it should be even better.

What website are we talking about? You already have two other threads going? Is this a third?

I don't think I can wait 48 hours, I do hope you have a used spell checker...

I endorse your comments. I am waiting with "baited breath" as they say to see what turns up website-wise based on what we have so far seen as AJL threads on here.

As highlighted in a previous post even the most pedantic aren't immune to the odd gramatical 'pecadillo'.

Bated breath and baited breath. Obviously the former 'bated' would be correct, but it's a debaitable (joke!) or accepted as a debatable topic. Parsloes will enjoy this link http://www.dailywritingtips.com/waiting-with-bated-breath/

We are now nine hours into the start of Easter and waiting for the appearance of this website! How much longer are we to be kept on tenterhooks in regard to it?
