UK sports to receive more funding

Sunday 30 August 2009

Many UK sports are suffering the effects of the credit crunch, with a recent survey revealing that up to 6,000 community sports clubs could close during the recession due to failing revenues. But help is now on its way from a brand new TV game, launching this autumn, which will bring much needed funding to sports clubs across the UK.

BingoLotto is a live TV game that will air weekly on Virgin 1 from 13 September 2009. Participants will be able to buy a game card for £2 from any Tesco till point in Britain allowing them to play alongside the TV game that offers multiple chances to play and win throughout the hour long TV game.

Statistics for your team

Sunday 9 August 2009

Example statistics for a teamWhen you add your matches and results online, you now get improved statistics for your team. We’ve had charts on team pages comparing home and away performance for a while, but we’ve now added a ‘View statistics’ link that shows you your results broken down season by season, totals of the runs you’ve scored and given away, and which opponents you’ve played – and beaten – most.

We’ll be adding more statistics in future, so it pays to make sure your results are up-to-date and complete. If you want to see more you can even dig out your old scorebooks and put your past seasons’ results online to see whether you’re improving. If there’s a chart you’d like to see which we’re not providing, please let us know. If it’s possible to add it, we will.
