TTT

Not surprised at all in regards to the news as I've had it on good authority for a while now via PM that this was on the cards. British Speedway is in a hole that it simply can't get out of this time. If British Speedway makes it 2028, Then they've done very well.

Don't think it's going to be the last Club to release a statement either. British Speedway is in a whole that it simply can't get out of.

Ipswich up for sale. Like I said the other day, Chris Louis has been let down.

As I said on the Ipswich thread, He's been let down. At least we stuck by Chris and the Clubs beliefs.

We're doing exactly what we should be doing and that's supporting what the Club wants. Belle Vue fans should be doing the same as they know full well that Mark Lemon is 100% Pro-PREM.

Just look at the vast majority of posts on X in regards to TNT losing UEFA Club Competition rights. Every knows TNT is finished.

Thanks for the info. Good job that nobody let those wild rumours spread. Hope to see the Tigers get a sale done ASAP!

So did I. Ashes isn't a long term selling point though as it's only held every 2 Years.

Still no point in signing him though in case he does get called up full time, Poland call the shots so it would be foolish to even run the risk.

Would Kyle Howarth fit as Anders Rowe's replacement? Both Drew Kemp and Kyle Howarth will ideally need to be signed by midweek CHAMP Clubs considering they've signed Polish deals and Drew to Poole is a no go.

To me that hints at Glasgow moving up. Kyle was rumoured to line-up for the Tigers again in 2026. Polish fixtures are FRI-SUN and Glasgow is a FRI track so it would make no sense for them to re-sign him unless they were changing race nights.

TNT's position in 2027 would be the equivalent of a YouTube Members Only Channel that rarely uploads a video. Want subscribers then you need to produce content. British Speedway is Cheap and Easy content to grab because nobody else wants it.

You're missing the point. TNT even if they don't rate a particular Sport, Will have no choice but to take on more content if they want to stay afloat. Lack of Content = Lack of Subscribers. Lack of Subscribers = End Game! Only real selling point from 2027 onwards is a Lunchtime PL Kick-Off and barely anyone is taking out a Subscription for that. Over the last few months TNT have lost Basketball and Boxing too so it's not just UEFA Club Competitions. TNT are just as desperate for content as British Speedway is for a TV deal.....It's a match made in heaven at this point.

As it stands TNT's only real selling point from 2027 onwards is a Lunchtime PL Kick-Off.

Agreed but I wouldn't rule out a TNT U-Turn on that tbh. They would've been planning to spend Millions on UEFA Champions League rights. They've been absolutely rinsed tonight and it's left them with a severe lack of content from 2027. They'll have no choice but to pick up content now even if they don't rate it that highly. British Speedway for peanuts is an easy starter.

Wasn't so long ago when they took over EUROSPORT. Since then, All TNT have done is lose broadcasting rights all over the place.

On the basis that TNT haven't gone broke and that the Channel will still exist. Granted TNT may not like British Speedway but when you're running a Channel that's behind a pay wall, You'll need to produce content otherwise you won't get subscribers. Future Speedway Ventures and the BSPL do need to get in contact with TNT to explore the situation as they may have rejected the initial chance to renew the British Speedway contract due to them being invovled in a bidding war over UEFA Club Competition rights where the price was was soaring. Now that they've officially lost that bidding war, They will have a lot of money left to spend. Future Speedway Ventures and the BSPL will be desperate for a TV deal and they'll take any offer presented to them and TNT will be desperate for content after losing various rights to various Sports, Therefore they can get some easy content for peanuts when it comes to British Speedway.

Did they bin it off or have they gone broke? They've lost an awful lot of content recently. Now we're hearing about all UEFA Club Competition rights being lost as well.

TNT have lost Europa League and Conference League to Sky Sports now. BSPL need to find out whether TNT have gone broke or not because it's a potential opportunity to explore.

I agree. Just thought I'd raise the point though considering TNT will have to add some content in order to get people to sign up.

Agree. Barely anyone is going to keep TNT just for 1 Premier League Lunchtime Kick-Off on a Saturday.

Just lost the UEFA Champions League Rights from 2027, That'll be a lot of funds freed up. What are the chances of them coming back to the table if we get a 6 Team PREM?

TNT have lost UEFA Champions League rights from 2027 so what are the chances of them coming back to the table if we get a 6 Team PREM?

Race format does need a couple of tweaks I agree. We should have 2 Reserve Races a Night, The usual Heat 2 and another during the 2nd half of the meeting.

No mate. It's just my suggestion of a 7-7 Split.
