Al Stewart Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago It's only one day so far but I wondered what happened to the Speedway Updates site yesterday - three matches and no updates. My fear is that because there is a new updates facility for referees to transmit results to the BSPL website, someone has decided that the old unofficial one should drop out. I think that would be a great pity because: 1) The official referees' version isn't always reliable, some of them don't use it, and... 2) It's easier to comment on the old Speedway Updates site. I realise officialdom does not like fans commenting. One thing I did discover - it's not easy to see where I could have asked this question on the old Speedway Updates site!

According to someone (can't remember where I saw it) but the Updates site couldn't get an updater for last night (Fri 3 July). The good ole BSPL didn't do updates from Scunthorpe last night and still (as at 11am Sat 4 July) haven't put the results from last night on their website. Their are no reports from last night either, or previews for tonight's matches !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anzum Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Yes, there was no updater available last night. I joined the updating team towards the end of last season. They are a very friendly bunch and it is easy to learn how to create a thread and update. It takes me about 20 minutes to create the thread and fill in the riders etc prior to the meeting. Then it is receiving the texts from the texter at the track and putting the results and comments on the site. So if anyone is able to help the team, as we need more updaters, please message me and I will put you in touch with the team and get you the permissions to update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago I've tried to look at it for reference a few times in the morning recently and it's been down altogether, so maybe there is a problem with the platform itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was hidden away in the News section at lunchtime. All seems normal again now. BOTH tonight's fixtures are available on the Speedway Updates site.
