Rammstien, both you and I knows that the "Eastern Europe tourists" are citizens of the European Union and that the UK immigration authorities have no right to deny them entry to the UK.

How Do We Attract A New Young Audience?
Ghostwalker replied to PHILIPRISING's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Regarding apps and live results, I think that 15 years into the 21st century, fans should not have to provide live results by sending each other text messages which is then posted by another person on a web forum. Don't get me wrong, SU's texters and updaters are doing a very good job but surely BSPA should take care of that part themselves? Svemo's TA system is neither fast or perfect but usually it works. -

Well Imo the Danish stadiums, except maybe Esbjerg, Holstead and Vojebns the Danish arenas aren't that good. The Swedish arenas are pretty decent but far from every arena is top quality. -
How Do We Attract A New Young Audience?

As for recruiting more fans (not just kids) to speedway. Speedway needs to be more professional. I.e. you cannot control the weather but you can be prepared for bad weather with proper equipment and track covers and etc. Too often clubs "trusts" the weather forecasts blindly rather then actually checking radar and satellite imaging to see what the weather actually is like. Then I think there should be more interactions between riders and (younger) fans. I know some riders, like Nicki P, a few times a year visits school and or day cares so that the kids can get a closer look to his bike, race suite as well as being able to ask him questions. In general I think marketing is close to abysmal, a couple of adverts in the local newspaper doesn't really make people think "wow speedway sounds really awesome, let's go check it out". This doesn't only apply to marketing but IMO clubs need to work together instead of just, short-sightedly, looking at themselves. Like in Sweden where Vetlanda are fortunate to have a local company who loads allot of money into the club which means that Vetlanda thinks that they have the right to complain that the averages is wrong and that averages needs to be scrapped despite that the situation in Poland shows that it won't work. They should rather realize that for most other teams, there are no such sponsors availabe and it's more a matter of survival (especially due to the bad weather the past season). Scrapped averages would only result in that their domination would be even bigger and that it would be a very negative factor for the sport. I also think that all the major speedway countries need to work together to develop and evolutionalize the sport, when it comes to rules, race days, technical regulations, marketing and etc. So to summarize it, there are no quick fixes but everyone needs to work together- -

There is such an app already, it is called "speedway programme". I haven't used it much though since I prefer the horizontal landscape format over the heat by heat style used by the app. However I have tested it and it works fine. Don't know if it is available for Iphone but for Android you can get it at the link below: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.krygiel.speedway.programme&hl=sv -

I don't know but I suspect that it is. It has been a warm autumn and although there will be a few days with subzero temperatures the nearest week and half that will not be enough to make a naturally frozen track. -
