Glad to report that the event on Wednesday night raised a very impressive £4,075 towards Darcys rehabilitation.

Ok for those that want to see and hear tonights event at Poole Stadium the video is available until tomorrow evening. A chat on the phone with Darcy https://www.periscope.tv/w/aYu5tzFtTUVQZVdxTm1RR2J8MWVhSmJEZGRqTHZLWAKKCTYNbicqzP9EByQp263bA7xqoaN9RQ_GqUISBQ9g Middlo, Watty and Noddy part one https://www.periscope.tv/w/aYu6TjFtTUVQZVdxTm1RR2J8MWpNSmdXZ2tRbU9KTKAvNrBd45QdTokiPt5Z2k1HRCja0AJNS7-Wy0KVajsI Part Q and A https://www.periscope.tv/w/aYu6rTFtTUVQZVdxTm1RR2J8MU93eFdnalJhbkR4UdOt45f1BTVBmYURrpAY7fb0dcX5hL6F2vK3MtoWVtkK

More footage there now on my periscope. About to go live but queues for photos very long at a fiver a photo sitting on darcys boke with middlo, Noddy and Watty

Live footage tonight Look me up. https://www.periscope.tv/w/aYt74zFtTUVQZVdxTm1RR2J8MU1uR25vWWxMcHlKT7McVShvDnoHW9EjQKoIil1wwSLWfVSM_PIVC-yvtGpC

There's loads of sources to get all that. I have only had the box a week but am now getting very confident with it. Best starting place is youtube and there are several people on there with great tutorials. I recommend watching the tutorials by jasonmoore85, who posts new tutorials very regularly and it covers all you could ever want. Foolproof. For sports I use zerm as allchannels seem to work, then there's Woody, which is insid Pheonix, and loads of others for 3 pm Sarurday kickoffs. For movies and box sets ther's hundreds of choices.

Well i wouldnt because itmight stop a few turning up to support a good cause.

Looking foward to the Darcy night tomorrow night at Poole Stadium. Catch up on the gossip and give a few quid to Darcys rehabilitation. All welcome and £8 on the door. Middlo and Watty to tell stories and answer questions from the audience. Open to fans of all clubs. Be there!

Makes sense for wolves fans to support Cradley on a Non Wolves night and for Cradley fans to do likewise. Its not as though the two teams will meet in the same league anytime soon. Chance for someone to make thouse half and half scarves like they do at a cup final at Wembley.

Riders want continuity and to know where they are as far in advance as possible. If they know they have a guarenteed team berth in the UK they are likely to agree, especially if there is slight doubt they might not get a ride in Sweden or Poland.

Disagree. More to do with certain promoters inability to work and negociate prperly and early enough with riders. The main problem being the agm being held far too late. Why nit have it ib June/July for the following season meaning planning can start far in advance. To be honest both Kings Lynn and Leicester have brought the problems on themselves. Leicester could have has Josh G for 2016, he agreed to ride for them for the money offered, then they didn't send the contract and so Rosco then came in with a contract and snapped Josh up.

Theres a question and answer session next Tuesday at Poole in the Darcy Ward fund raising night. Fans can ask Middlo questions so lets see what he will have to say on the subject if he knows anything about it.

All working fine on Woody. Loads of different providers for sport. Get more addons.

No meetings at Poole in June by the look of the fixtures. One at the begining of the month and then at the very end.

So it looks Like I will get to see the new BV setup earlier than expected. Looking forward to the visit and ofcourse 3 or 4 points.

Hi Andy I downloaded it last night. Very good as well

Of course you dont need a box as Kodi is free. However the codecs are tuned, it frees up your laptop, and you can have it on a 55 inch tv. You canstream via chromecast but there will probably be picture dedragation.

I am currently playing with it on a cheap tv with hdmi. Thats it. Now I have loaded some more repositories onto it and have about every tv show known to man You name it it's here. Not sure which premier league match I am going to choose this evening! Tv tonight is an episode of Better Call Saul, then the footy, then Spectre. Wont be able to say theres nothibg on TV tonight ever again. This is how easy it is. I have followed this guy and it couldnt be simpler. http://youtu.be/GqN5QqDYz-4

Yes every sports channel in the world.

Here you go. https://www.periscope.tv/w/aYDQ6TFtTUVQZVdxTm1RR2J8MU1ZR05heWtWalBLd80aRYWPEdUrR8NDI0t_b1uZbJIexhgmHu2b3kNE5SbD

A live stream of the pits would be cool and set up would be peanuts as most clubs have wifi at the stadium. An iphone taped somewhere securely would be adequate. The url address printed in the program and hundreds would be viewing during and after the meeting.

Pretty sure you can plug in a small camera like a go pro to improve the quality of the image no end. Of course the stream will still be afected by bandwidth issues but playback in the 24 hours after the event should be good on wifi. And it comes down to the skill of the cameraman as well.

And Matt Ford didn't mind? I am wondering if there is a way to periscope away meetings for fans unable to travel. A small charge of say a fiver to watch the meeting by having to log in through a password. Not sure if the software makes it possible for this to be set up but it's a revenue stream for clubs if it is. I would be happy to pay a fiver to watch if I found it impossible to attend. I hope it is somehow embraced than the BSPA sending out a warning to fans. But I somehow doubt it.

Interestingly this statement has just been issued. We would like to remind all fans that it is illegal to stream any portion of games without prior permission from the league. In recent weeks there has been an increase in the number of occasions when matches have been shown using the app Periscope. This is a breach of copyright and will be taken very seriously by all clubs in the Elite League. Anyone found to be live streaming games without prior agreement will be banned from attending games across the league. As a league it is important we embrace the ever-changing world of social media, but at the same time we have also protect our product. Published 27th January 2016. Ice Hockey EL.

Playing around with Periscope last night at the Poole Speedway Quiz night it occured to me just how simple and easy this little bit of software is, and also how much carnage it can do. The footage streamedcanbe better than the Bet365 efforts of 2014, there no signing up and it would be free. How on earth could promoters police this? Hand in your phone at the turnstile? Ban fans from the stadium if caught? (There would always be someone else to take over) Could promoters use Periscope to their advantage? Is there a professional version where a stream could be set up and a charge applied for access? Lots to think about but we could see many meetings online in 2016 from around the UK. Not only live but for 24 hours afterwards. How would this affect companies such as Rerun?

Just to mention what was said last night about the Darcy night. On Wednesday 10th February theres a social meeting in the main grandstand at Poole. It is to raise funds for Darcy. Middlo is going to tell some fun stories about things that have happened in the past that have never been mentioned before. Could be other stuff that will be added in the next week or so. Entry is £8 to go to Darcy rehabilitation. Everyone welcome. Starts at 7.30 but to get a table get there early.
