highroad119 101 Posted May 21, 2021 Not a great watch but considering the rain the track took all day it was surprising meeting even started. Well done track staff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SharpenRake 1,505 Posted May 22, 2021 Thought the streaming worked well with just a few glitches when sound was lost. Michael Max was excellent as co-presenter and it was nice to see Nigel Pearson travelling up to the track to also help. Annoyingly the weather forecast which had been accurate for most of the week got it wrong with steady light rain, then heavy rain falling in the evening at a time when it was meant to be light cloud! With the track already wet and it being the coldest May in Scotland for 40+years, the track just didn't have a chance to dry out. Remarkably the track record was broken twice during the evening. All of the Tigers had their moments with Sam Jensen being very impressive. Unfortunately Tom Bacon crashed out, hope he's ok, reducing Kent to a 5 man team using R/R and IRR which made it really difficult for them. It would be interesting to know how many people tuned in and whether streaming could become part of the new normal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,098 Posted May 22, 2021 Streaming is certainly the way forward even when we return. I have a mate now based in Spain who had the opportunity to buy it , he relied on updates previously it will reach a far wider audience giving the opportunity for the club to have another income stream. It will come down to cost and the amount of online tickets they have to sell to cover cost I am sure they will have calculated this already. Solid performance last night but there is a lot more to come from this team positive signs , pity about the rain this month has been a write off weather wise.

Effectively run with 3 team members, one reserve and a National League rider to make the numbers up. Hardly a recipe for success. Add tough conditions plus plenty of rain and it becomes a lottery. But, looking on the bright side, I think Scott Nicholls took the track record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perfectly acceptable then that Kent were allowed R/R, here`s me thinking there was something iffy. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SharpenRake 1,505 Posted May 24, 2021 Most of the posts I've read on this forum suggests streaming has a place in the sport even when we get back to normal particularly for away fans. Did any Kent fans purchase a ticket to see their team's first ever match in the Championship? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
