Getting more media coverage for Speedway requires a multi-faceted approach, focusing on building relationships, creating compelling content, and leveraging various media platforms. Here's a breakdown of strategies: 1. Cultivate Media Relationships: * Identify Key Journalists: Research and identify journalists, reporters, and broadcasters who cover motorsports, local news, and sports. Look for those who have previously shown interest in niche sports or community events. * Personalized Outreach: Don't send generic press releases. Tailor your pitches to each journalist, highlighting why your Speedway story would be relevant and interesting to their audience. * Provide Exclusive Access: Offer journalists unique behind-the-scenes access, interviews with key riders, team owners, or track management. Exclusive content is highly valued. * Be a Reliable Source: Provide accurate information, meet deadlines, and be responsive to media inquiries. Build a reputation as a trustworthy and helpful contact. * Attend Events: Be present at races and other motorsport events. This provides opportunities for face-to-face networking with media representatives. 2. Create Compelling Content: * Strong Story Angles: * Human Interest: Focus on the personal stories of riders, their challenges, triumphs, and unique journeys. This resonates with a broader audience beyond just hardcore fans. * Local Connection: Highlight local riders, teams, or the impact of Speedway on the local community. Local news outlets are always looking for local angles. * Underdog Stories: Everyone loves an underdog. Promote stories of riders overcoming adversity or achieving unexpected success. * Innovation/Technology: If there are new technologies, safety advancements, or unique aspects to Speedway, emphasize them. * Historical Significance: If your track or an event has a rich history, tell those stories. * High-Quality Visuals: * Professional Photos and Videos: Provide media outlets with stunning, high-resolution images and dynamic video clips of races, overtakes, and behind-the-scenes action. * Infographics and Stats: Create easy-to-understand infographics about Speedway rules, rider statistics, or historical data. * Regular Press Releases: Issue well-written press releases for significant announcements like: * Race results and championships * New sponsorships * Major events or series * Community initiatives * New rider signings or retirements * Behind-the-Scenes Content: Show the grit, dedication, and passion that goes into Speedway. This could be training, bike mechanics, team camaraderie, etc. 3. Leverage Diverse Media Platforms: * Traditional Media: * Local Newspapers and Radio: These are often the easiest to get coverage from, especially with strong local angles. * Regional and National Sports Publications: Target publications specifically focused on motorsports or broader sports news. * Television (Local and National): Pitch exciting visual stories for news segments or sports features. Consider live crosses from events. * Digital Media: * Social Media: * Active Presence: Maintain strong, active profiles on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and YouTube. * Engaging Content: Post race schedules, results, highlight reels, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and interactive content (polls, Q&As). * Live Streams: Live stream races, practice sessions, or interviews to engage fans directly. * Influencer Marketing: Partner with motorsports influencers or popular content creators to reach new audiences. * Website/Blog: Maintain a professional website with news, schedules, rider profiles, and media resources. Consider a blog with feature articles about the sport. * Podcasts: Pitch Speedway stories to existing sports podcasts or consider starting your own. * Online Forums and Communities: Engage with fans and share news in relevant online communities. * Specialized Motorsport Media: Target dedicated motorsport websites, magazines, and broadcasters (like British Speedway Network or Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, which covers Speedway GP). They are always looking for relevant content. 4. Strategic Partnerships & Sponsorships: * Sponsor Activation: Work with sponsors to integrate media coverage into their marketing campaigns. This can include sponsor logos in media materials, joint press conferences, or sponsor-led content. * Cross-Promotion: Partner with other local businesses, sports organizations, or community groups to cross-promote events and share audiences. 5. Professionalism and Consistency: * Be Prepared: Have a media kit ready with key facts, statistics, high-res images, and contact information. * Professional Conduct: Ensure all interactions with the media are professional, courteous, and respectful. * Consistency: Media coverage is not a one-time effort. Consistently provide newsworthy content and engage with the media to maintain momentum. By implementing these strategies, Speedway can significantly increase its visibility and reach a wider audience through effective media coverage.

Form an all female speedway team and base it at Leicester or revive Wembley.

Had a quick look at the 2025 averages Hagon 3.84 (4.16) Smith 2.76 (3.20) Trigger 3.60 (4.53) This won't show any guest appearances, but shows Trigger was not poor for Plymouth (he upped his starting average) but was dropped because the team on the whole was week. If Berwick have play-offs aspirations, then Trigger for Smith is a signing they need to make imo

But he top scored for his Polish club today, it's strange that he's received a ban but Nicolai Klindt, who isn't injured, hasn't 🫤

You sure it was not the Sunday Sport lol

He is injured though. It's not like he cba. Every podcast i listen to they say he is having physio between races. I bet if the track was Worky or BV he'd be riding.

Sunday People

Sunday People i believe

You want to be running R/R for the season then... good luck with that 👍🏻

I do. If Poole moved up he would be first name on teamsheet every time.

The words Birmingham and Full Strength don't really go together though do they...

2 full strength teams, that's a rarity

Extra rides for Ingram and Perry is probably doing more for rider development than drafting in Sam Woods.

Went to this, decent meeting but a definite divide between rider abilities. Some look very confident and in control, schimelt particularly looks like he's never rode before .

Apparently so 🤦🏻‍♂️

It's shocking really for someone with his track record of success...

That’s a shame if that’s the way his career is coming to an end. On his day, nigh on unbeatable. Wish him nothing but the best in whatever he does next.

I do think team managers get it in the neck unfairly sometimes, because there's not a great deal they can really do and they're probably volunteering to some degree. However, I think that goes out the window with Shroeck. I don't believe I have seen a worse team manager in all my time watching speedway. In fact, I think he must be a social experiment to see how bad one manager can be before fans begin to lose it. Has he got Ant & Dec in his ear or something?

Is it true that Mr Schroeck asked Freddy Hodder to guest for Chargers today? 😂

Only one person responsible for Edwards not returning and that will be the clown who has ran a sh#t show season after season since he's arrived at Bham! I will never go to a meeting again if 'SAID' Clown is involved! He turned Kemp down before a wheel was turned this season!

Kurtz and bewley saving them selves for Birmingham tomorrow 😁
