  1. I think that's a silly question Lee & one that I am not interested in responding too.
  2. So tell us what is the acceptable number of road deaths a year then?. What would you be happy with?.
  3. The Zero road toll thinking comes from standard Health & Safety practice worldwide. Whist we all know that goal is unlikely, it comunicates that no accident or injury is acceptable, the theory is good, just was piss poorly delivered. Many workplaces in NZ have an All Injuries Are Preventable plan, it’s about creating a belief that it’s possible so that people take responsibility for themselves. Then it sits alongside a personal responsibility plan for when things go wrong, like a 3 strikes policy.
  4. Luckily we are all allowed differing opinions & mine happens to be thinking to future & positioning for more young people being engaged in the sport, I don't think you do that by investing in Radio at the expense of mobile technology, if the industry was flush with funds then yeah sure, but its not. If you were in charge of a finite budget for technology & marketing, would you invest in restarting racing radio or upgrading the app & website?.
  5. Its called Bluetooth, its been around for a fair while now, I don't have any issues with linking Trackside to it.
  6. Yes exactly the feedback I gave them on it, it would remove bad conotations associated with the TAB to a younger or less accepting audience.
  7. Don't disagree with anything you have said Nomates. However we can't look back on those decisions & want to go back to something that no longer is fit for purpose.
  8. No one said I was self appointed on anything, expressing an opinion & encouraging open debate is what its about surely?. & don't worry I hold the Whingers & Moaners at other sites to account as well, I posted this information here because I thought being the leading discussion forum that you might be interested to know this is going on in the background.
  9. No, this is what was asked of us to comment on. For your info it got shot down in flames from what I can see.
  10. Here is the question they have asked today
  11. The layout of it for a start, its largely unchanged for years, its slow & cumbersome. Go on course & see how many regardless of age are now betting via the App, that's where you need to invest for advancement, not in Radio that no one under 60 cares about.
  12. Yeah & look at what % of Aus population is interested in Racing its significantly advanced of ours, here no one even cares if racing is on or not & you want it on a loss producing system like radio & in the newspapers that are out of date. Wow.
  13. The fact you can post on this site suggests you are more than capable of adopting new things, you can still be old and use social media & a mobile phone. The unwillingness of a small vocal minority (thinking they speak for everyone) to want to progress the industry into the 21st century is sad & shows a short term thinking methodology that has handbraked the industry for yrs.
  14. & don’t worry, I will strongly be encouraging them to not fund those things, focus on the website, mobile app, enhancing some of the products and creating new ones, along with better form information. Sounds great doesn’t it.
