micman 77 Posted April 19, 2020 A few people have suggested that it might be a good idea to set up my own dedicated speedway Facebook page to feature the 1000's of old photos from the 60's & 70's and share some of my video clips from 2006 onwards. I've found some programmes that we produced for Motors TV back in the day too so what do you think? Are there enough speedway groups already on there or do you think more speedway fans would enjoy a dedicated page just for these videos and photos? Thinking along the lines of 'Bennett's Speedway Stuff' but open to suggestions! :-) Let me know and if enough people are interested I'll set it up this week. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Clemens 646 Posted April 19, 2020 Do it because it is a worthwhile project plus it might catch the interest of people who don't know anything about speedway. And if it doesn't matter to people in speedway and no one outside of speedway shows any interest, you will soon find out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
micman 77 Posted April 19, 2020 Thanks for the response. Quite a few folk on Facebook have said they would be interested so I'll set it up this week. There are many unpublished old Black and white photos from the late 60's and 70's to keep any speedway fan interested :-) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is the trouble with FB groups. Just copied stuff from elsewhere, which makes it almost unnecessary to join a new group , as the stuff will probably be on the other groups within hours if not sooner. The same people posting stuff all over 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

micman 77 Posted April 22, 2020 550 plus members in just a few days so clearly we must be doing something right. The majority of photos will not be shared on any other group pages but the video clips may be posted on other sites. Come and have a look if you like the old Black and white photo era of the late 60's and 70's :-) https://www.facebook.com/groups/300758520920134/about/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
