TOP OFFICIAL IN RESIGNATION SHOCK
WELCOME 
Welcome to cycle speedway’s leading website, spokesman-online.co.uk.
spokesman-online was only launched in November 2007 but has quickly established itself as cycle speedway's premier website. Our aim is to bring you all the breaking cycle speedway news and gossip as quickly as possible.
Contributions to spokesman-online are very welcome. Please email your news and views to editor@spokesman-online.co.uk and we’ll do our best to publish them.
Join us on the ride!
100,000 THANKS - posted 20 September 2008
Spokesman-online has soared past a magical milestone - 100,000 visits - all thanks to you, our loyal readers.
When we launched the website last November we set ourselves what we thought was a challenging target of 10,000 visits a year. Little in our wildest dreams did we expect to be celebrating 100,000 in less than 12 months.
Even when we upgraded to wireless Broadband and had to endure the best part of a month accessing the site from the public library, you stuck with us.
Despite the expected initial wave of interest, numbers show no signs of declining. We are still averaging over 450 visits a day and regularly break through the 500 barrier, especially on Mondays when our results and reports features are very much in demand. In total you have browsed close on half a million pages!
As we have said before, we are not in competition with other cycle speedway sites. Rather we like to think we can all complement each other. Having said that, we take great pride in our achievement.
And we mean OUR achievement. spokesman-online is a real team effort. Without our contributors there would simply be no website. Without Brian Barnett and our other enthusiastic photographers the pages would be bland and uninteresting. Without the support of our wonderful sponsors Wosskow Brown Solictors there would be fewer pages and less content and, of course, with the likes of Jock Harvie, Joe McLaughlin and John Whiting contributing regularly, spokesman-online will never be dull!
And then of course there's YOU! You have made spokesman-online the enormous success it is. Your response, support and encouragement makes all the effort worthwhile.
So keep clicking on spokesman-online. We promise you - the best is yet to come!
SPOKESMAN-ONLINE EXPANSION - posted 11 August 2008
We are delighted to announce that spokesman-online is expanding. Since it was introduced in November 2007, cycle speedway's most popular website has been a resounding succces and is on course to crash through that magical 100,000 target before the end of the season.
Inspired by your tremendous support and aided by our wonderful sponsor, Wosskow Brown Solicitors, we are pleased to announce that we are doubling the number of available pages. Not only will we continue to bring you all the latest news and views but we will be able to concentrate that on specific pages, making it easier to navigate the site, at the same time bringing you a much wider range of topics.
spokesman-online was always meant to be a dynamic website concentrating very much on today and tomorrow. But we know from your feedback that you enjoy reading about the personalities, what clubs are up to and a bit about the sport's history. So our expansion means that we can carry these articles for longer, which will delight the ever growing band of new readers joining us every day.
Thanks again for your continued support - you are and remain the key to our success.
WOSSKOW BROWN SPONSOR SPOKESMAN-ONLINE - posted 7 December 2007
spokesman-online is pleased to announce an exciting new development.
Sheffield solicitors Wosskow Brown have offered to sponsor the site for the next twelve months.
“This is great news” said spokesman-online’s editorial team. “The partnership with Wosskow Brown will enable us to significantly increase our storage capacity and double the number of pages. We are really indebted to Ian Brown for his generous offer.”
Wosskow Brown are equally enthusiastic about the new arrangement.
”This new site is proving such a big hit, it deserves all our support” said Ian Brown. “We know that it will be professionally run and have the highest integrity, which fits in perfectly with Wosskow Brown’s company image. We are delighted to be associated with spokesman-online”.
Wosskow Brown are well-known in cycle speedway circles. Not only do they sponsor the Sheffield club and the highly successful British Youth and Junior League but they have also introduced an innovative Club Support scheme (see Sponsorship page for details) which rewards clubs based on introductions to the company.
spokesman-online’s advertising banner at the foot of each page will be modified shortly to incorporate the Wosskow Brown name.
TAKEOVER DEAL CONFIRMED - posted 5 December 2007
spokesman-online has taken over one of cycle speedway's most successful websites following an approach by its present owner.
cyclespeedway.co.uk was founded six years ago by Suffolk enthusiast Paul Jay and quickly established itself as the first click for every discerning cycle speedway surfer.
Launched in the days before British Cycling's webpages, the site carries a wealth of information ranging from track locations, contacts, statisical data and links with other websites. However web-master Paul Jay has not been able to devote much time to the project of late.
"When I saw the progress spokesman-online had made in such a short space of time, I had no hesitation in offering my site and domain name" said Jay.
spokesman-online is delighted with the news.
"It's a wonderful gesture on Paul's part. It's early days and we are in on-going talks with Paul on how best to move things forward. However it will be a huge boost to have the cherised domain cyclespeedway.co.uk.
"When we set up the new site last month,the name spokesman-online, seemed the obvious choice but it may be more appropriate to change the name at sometime in the future. The acquisition of cyclespeedway.co.uk certainly allows us to do that.
cyclespeedway.co.uk has had 41,000 visitors since it started in 2001, making it one of the sport's most popular websites. Already an automatic divert has been set up between the two sites directing visitors to spokesman-online.
Watch this space for futher news.
PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT - posted 21 November 2007
spokesman-online is delighted to announce a new partnership arrangement with one of the sport's leading photographers.
Brian Barnett has agreed to make available his extensive portfolio of cycle speedway photos to spokesman-online as well as supplying immediate pics from most of next year's international and national competitions.
Brian's superb photos can be viewed at www.cyclespeedwayphotos.co.uk - and if you are a speedway enthusiast, go to www.speedwayphotos.net, Brian's excellent speedway site.
