If you get a third party to carry out the streaming I believe the club typically get around 33% of the takings. Seen some rather poor streams that I would be reluctant to pay £12-99 for again. I believe the Poole stream was £13-99 on Wednesday.

Yes, although clubs try to keep the streaming price the same, there are huge differences in other club incomes/costs, eg whether they own or operate their own Stadia, whether they get income from bars, hospitality, parking etc or not. It can be £14.99 for a Prem stream.

It doesn’t affect Poole’s crowd. Yet there are up to 1000 people from all over the U.K. watching the Poole stream. There will be no more than a handful of Poole fans at Glasgow for the second leg but hundreds willing to buy a stream. Every other club is making good money streaming yet not Glasgow, who somehow think not streaming is the way to go.

Plymouth have a very good streaming service, the same as Poole, with two commentators, several cams and a raving reporter in the pits. Must make quite a bit of money for the club. Used it several times this season. What’s the betting many Glasgow fans paid for the stream when they were at Plymouth?

You need to get over the fact that Glasgow stream.🤔👍

No a stream is called a stream funny enough, and in other groundbreaking news a burn is called a burn.

A stream is running water and a burn is something hot and if it is hot enough then it becomes a third degree burn.

But you are correct some people call it a Burn whilst others a Stream its more down to areas and slang.

not interested in the emotive side of the streaming debate but if we all accept that in many ways the facennas are the best promoters in british speedway certainaly far more successful business people than most promoters why do they when it appears sensible to stream decide not too,they must have considered it and have their reasons?? ps no comments on trophys won

There is a noticeable drop in crowd levels whenever BSN are in town no matter how far travelled the opposition are. Might just be us Glaswegians are tighter than anyone else or we just have more competition in the offered sports in the area I don't know but I can see why they decided to drop their streaming. The promotion is trying to get a lot of new fans interested in speedway and in my opinion, a big crowd is just as important in retaining them as good racing is. Half of sport is the atmosphere and if a new fan showed up to an empty back straight would they really stick around long?

Re Flint exclusion. Flint lifted and this allowed Cook to charge under him entering the third bend. Flint was clearly not expecting Cook to come under him and lost it. Clear gap between them. Ref watched the replay several times and correctly excluded Flint. 
 

Watching in the main stand I don’t think a single spectator expected Cook to be excluded. Looked clear what happened.

not often id say this but agree on this view 

a lot of others you tend to be too blinkered by your love of poole

Spot on Flint put the bike down, it was clear as day. And yes Christina watched the replay several times, but to be fair she didn't really need to.  We all saw it from the pit lane and you could have drove a london bus through the gap.
