I have just been getting some advice on this very subject about creating an app. Its a bit sensitive cos i don't want to step on anybody's toes here including this Site.

We see how popular this years Fantasy SL comp is on this forum and how well the forecast comp runs with the great effort from Dereck and Co. I have been in interim discussions regarding an app that combines the two. (sorry Dereck, I'm not stepping on your toes I am testing the water first to see if its viable before i mentioned it).

Theres a slightly different spin on the Fantasy SL comp so that it creates an income stream. Your Team consists of 17 players and you will have the ability to interchange your team "live" with only points earned when your player is on the field. You will be txted live (if you choose this option ,prob every 10mins and at a cost to you) updates of your players performance for eg Richards 2 try's and 2 from 4 or S.Tomkins off with deadleg or Dixon 0 try 0 goals thus giving you the opportunity to interchange (at a cost). BBC does live SL updates so information can be retreived from there. Its very very early discusions but what do you think ? would there be interest if we say prizes of season tickets and GF and CC tickets?

You could even take it further and do video feeds, but that would be too much of an excuse for fans who live close enough to not go to the game....although you could always block IP addresses in the UK....

Mate any help at any time would be grateful like I said i'll pass whatever you give me to Pete as I haven't a clue on that.

Ditto!!!

Hi Athy Box Yed

At LeighLife we use a VS running Linux, Bandwidth isn't an issue and neither is storage space. What caused the site to run slowly while the radio was transmitting was the number of simultaneous requests to the webserver which consumed the available process handlers and stuffed the memory, as I'm sure you're aware swapping or anything similar isn't available on a VS but only on dedicated servers which is something we're looking into, if that proves to be beyond our reach then a VS with a memory upgrade might be the answer. We're still looking into the possibilities.

Hi Pete,

I sent you a mail asking a few questions that you have mostly answered above! I hope I can help out so that we can get this up and running, preferably before next season starts!
