I hope the funds are raised but that doesn’t guarantee success for the poor little mite. Probably 1.2 million to line the business and the rest on treatment.

That’s £1,730,000. A lot of money. One million 730 thousand pounds. Such a shame the donations just line the pockets of ultra rich American surgeons who are in it for the money and there’s less value on the life.

What operation does she need?

If it’s £12 to stream or £16 to attend, home fans would rather be in the stadium.

Lindsey. Ultimate gating tart. Not a fan at all.

Think they need to raise hundreds of thousands.

Whose the little princess Nina? She has some illness which threatens her young life I guess and they are asking speedway fans to raise funds for treatment. Wish her well.

They can’t devalue the sport by charging a fiver. But £11.95 seems a good fair price. Happy to pay that no question. The price of a cheap meal in Beefeater and something that should be better value and leave a better taste in the mouth. Poole first meeting is going to be streamed even though crowds are allowed inside. The Poole promotion said it would cost them £2000 approx but would be cheaper going forwards. Plenty of Berwick fans buying the stream I should think.

In other words you don’t agree with my regular way of thinking.

I have watched every Extraleague meeting this year. I know they are competitive but Lesznos strength is there to see. I am hoping Lublin hang on and win. They shouldn’t looking at the two teams.

Just fluff though to be honest. Not useful info tbh. The one who gates is the fastest, and the one who closes up or blasts away in front has the fastest lap. Practicality wise it’s not useful info to the fan. good heat 3 for the home team and unexpected.

Question. Anyone else think that all this clutch reaction, fastest ind lap in the heat etc is overkill for your average fan? Rob peasley might be in his element but seriously, not needed imo.

Join VE.com, then searched for speedway RUS. Joined that community then found it as first link. Best feed in HDish.

Is that VK site streaming the meeting? SpeedwayRus.

OK laying my cards on the table, Leszno by 6-8. Hope I am wrong but can’t see past that.

Premier have the rights yet chose to show Gorzow v Torun highlights instead of tonight’s fixture!

SON or what they are every going to call it. Need an under 21 who can score.

Easy looking away win.

Another year and GB will have three world class riders. Bewley and Lambert joining Woffinden in the GPS. Bewley has looked very good so far this season and will help his Polish team win the league this season imo. Just need another so we can compete in the WTC. Who is the 4th member?

Even if 500 take a stream, that £5000 at a tenner. (Less vat and stream fees) It’s money for nothing.

Getting pissed with Jack Holder the night before the playoff semi at Ipswich in 19 did it for me.

Wait till heat 15 and he is gate 4.

British speedway is very short of cash, it’s having to operate with reduced attendances and yet clubs are not using the obvious and potentially profitable avenue of live streaming it’s meetings. Take today’s meeting at Belle Vue. The official speedway site were quick in putting up a couple of heats, yet there are hundreds of supporters in and around Peterborough and thousands around the country who would have been quite happy to pay £10-12 for the opportunity of watching this meeting. The quality of the feed is high, there’s live commentary, what’s the problem? 1000 people paying for a stream would bring in £10,000 at a tenner, or £11,950 at £11.95. Hugely profitable. And remember. There’s a worldwide audience to pay and watch. Promoters might be worried about loss of revenue at the stadium but currently with reduced capacity demand should be enough for a stadium to sell out. And it is possible to geo-block fans within a set distance from the stadium. Glasgow are running behind closed doors, with live feed only at £11.95. The meeting against Poole on Friday should achieve very good numbers with the take up of the stream. I have already purchased my ticket. Pretty sure a lot of Poole fans will also. And the feed will give neutrals something to watch on a Friday night if they want to see some action. Now for the top flight Eurosport have the rights to TV, but I don’t think it has been tied down like the Sky and BT deals, allowing promoters to be more flexible on doing their job of promoting. The days of no filming inside, no photos etc choke the sport. Use technology to open up the market. Streaming cost a small amount to do. One cameraman, a commentator and someone in charge of the streaming is all that is needed. Two cameramen and a little more is required. But bloody hell it should already be in place, bringing in the funds for our sport to be sure of its survival. Come on sort it out!

Completely stagnated.
