Midland Red 2,383 Posted June 24, 2021 …. says…. VIDEO! Great Heat 3 action from Tuesday's Plymouth v Poole Championship KO Cup match; No it’s not heat 3. It’s heat 13 No it’s not great action. It’s follow the leader, it’s from the gate If that’s what “the powers that be” consider great action, no wonder British Speedway is struggling Full marks to Plymouth and others for the presentation - rather better than Eurosport! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheReturn 1,724 Posted June 28, 2021 To be honest the entire Speedway GB website is woeful in design and content which I am afraid is very old fashioned web design and a complete and utter mess of a layout. But done right, could be made to be so appealing as a fast, thrilling action with use of good images and layout. Speedway GB is how not to do it... Speedway GP is how to do it! Example, this is a cluttered mess, nothing stands out, it's all lost. Less is more! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinny 2,536 Posted June 29, 2021 In all honesty, most club websites are awful these days. Websites appear to be going out of fashion and social media is the in thing - but a huge percentage of fans wont read social media and move on with the times. How often do we see people post “can someone tell us what was said as I refuse to use social media” etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look at Berwick, Eastbourne, Glasgow, Poole; Redcar excellent content and visuals and regularly updated. Similar with those Clubs socials too. The more formula based ones (from the same outlet that does SGB) are less interesting and need modernising totally agree on that.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We will have to agree to disagree, the content maybe decent enough on some of those sites mentioned but the general design and layout in particular is awful. Have you tried accessing any of those sites on a smart phone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you tried accessing any of those sites on a smart phone? I use a smartphone to make calls and look at basic content. I use a tablet to look at websites and more detailed info I use a laptop when I really want to read something properly.

Skidder1 7,637 Posted June 29, 2021 Website design/layout is such a subjective topic. What is great for one is rubbish for another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
