Granted. It was setup in the quickest and cheapest way we could, just to get the data available - as nothing existed at the time. It would be much better presented in a database format with a pretty front end UI, but that takes time, money and effort that I can't give it.

Kieran22222 Posted November 9, 2025 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2025 Sorry if that comes across as me criticising what you have done, as I know how time consuming setting up databases and collecting databases can be. I am trying to do that pretty front end now and you are correct, it does take a lot of time, but hopefully I can find the time to get it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully someone can use the data and present it in a far more accessible and intuitive way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just trying to think of ways to make the sport easier to follow and understand for new and existing fans. If you could see all the scores, news, tables, rider profiles, etc in one space, it makes it easier to learn about the sport. I’m definitely not a tech person but I do get my speedway star digitally and have done for 4 years now. used to go to the newsagent early on a Thursday morning and hope it was in. On a bank holiday it would sometimes be Saturday before a got it. none of that now. Straight to my phone on midnight Wednesday. I can read it anywhere and anytime. suits me perfectly but I completely understand why many prefer the magazine option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran22222 Posted 19 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 19 hours ago I have been working on it for around a year but don't get that much time to work on it for various reasons. Trying to get it to a point where it is a bit more tidy so I can get other developers to help and get AI tools to do some of the more generic tasks. I will attach some screenshots of some static pages I have so far, but the data is fixed at the moment, I need to integrate the database to get real data to show up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
