Any visa issues are certainly not putting Rohan off at Gillman today!!!!

I still don't know what PR advantage Sky (if it is Sky? ) will have in making any announcement?! They will in effect and in reality be committing to a 'deal' that is much less that in any one of the past 15(?) or so years. Why would any organisation make a big announcement like that?? Its for the BSPA to announce - along with some new sponsorship, hopefully!!!

I'm sure the Glasgow promotion won't go back on it though - unlike Plymouth!!!!

I thought it had been........?! Ooops.

Hearn would be more suited to the individual competitions eg GPs, British final, rather than league speedway!! Unless of course he owned all the clubs in the league and turned it into more of a circus than it is at the moment!

..and with Nick Morris in the side by the sounds of it!!!!!!!!!

The late Tony Millard was mainly responsible for introducing them across many sports, local radio and newspapers etc. They were a decent revenue earner for clubs and the other organisations that used them (and Tony Millard's company!!) but have been mainly overtaken by social media - Except if you are entering a competition on a TV programme!!!!!!!

Maybe a signature - or 'X' in the right place?! I'm sure someone will arrange another drinks reception on the terrace at the House of Commons to discuss the options!!

I've just dragged myself away from Sky Sports4 coverage of the The World Ping Pong Championships to see if there's been any update or announcement?! No, nothing! Still I can't recall any announcement about Ping Pong either - it just appeared in Sky's programme schedules!!

Paul Burbidge and Jason Doyle - apparently!!!

As mentioned on some other 'team' threads, I believe this has originated from a Paul Burbidge (www.speedwaygp.com) tweet from Kurri Kurri after a conversation with Jason Doyle, in which Doyley apparently said that his application had been returned/refused!!?? No other 'facts' have emerged to date!!

A Final result - Doyle, Holder C., Woodward, Batchelor.

I think Screeny will be at Poole on March 21st for Havvy's Farewell meeting!!!

The League Sponsorship issue (for all 3 leagues) was exactly what TR stated was the BSPA priority in the Speedway Star about 3 weeks ago. As far as any announcement about TV coverage is concerned, surely its down to the BSPA to confirm/announce that - as and when its right to do so - as its hardly going to be a high priority for whichever TV company has the rights, until they actually have something to include in their TV schedules!! Its all a bit pie in the Sky really!!!!!!

Blimey mate, I know we are all in the Eurozone now but didn't realise Sussex was now in France!!!?

...and depending which racenight the new promotion decide on, could well affect his Swindon role?!

Yep, got mine yesterday!!

You've clearly had some disappointments with the opposite sex in your life, but please don't align it to televised speedway!! Happy New Year!

Any review on Sky will only feature EL/PL meeting highlights, unlike previous years with the GPs and World Cup. It will hardly make a 2-hour 'special'! Even with one or two of the better heats from each of the televised league meetings, it will only make a 1 hour programme at best. I'm sure somebody mentioned that Nigel Pearson had tweeted that there is a programme being put together, which will probably be scheduled as soon as any new deal is announced - or not!?

Exactly what was stated in the Speedway Star a couple of weeks ago!!! The impression given then - by Terry Russell in the same article - was that the emphasis now is on getting a League sponsor - for all 3 leagues - presumably on the back of a TV deal???

Yep in 2008, Zabik came to Poole with a similar racing reputation as Holder at the time, until he got injured and had some other psychological issues!! But Poole still won the EL that year!!!

Also heard Chris Holder has won it!!!

Neil Watson - it looks like you have a new personal fan stalker!! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

.........which is why I posted my 'tongue-in-cheek' comment!!

'Liking' your own posts is not cool, Neil Watson!!
