Think there will be a few clubs challenging Kurtz 3 point average. Sums this sport up in this country, In the EL they slap stupid 6/7 averages on new exciting talent, then let Kurtz get in on a 3.00 when he has ridden in the under-21 Aussie championship plus the Danish league.
Matt should of kept his mouth shut until Sky announced the news. He has made a big boo boo here and needs to do some apologising. The bottom line is you must watch what you say to reporters, they are all looking for that "exclusive'
I would happily pay £20-25 per month to watch PL and EL racing.
Matt did say on the centre green after Wednesday's meeting 2 other parties have come to the table about EL racing on TV.
A meeting is due with sky next week, he did say these 2 options have come up in the last 4 weeks during the playoffs.
Who could they be? BT sport?
So I wouldn't write off EL speedway on TV next season just yet.
A buyer will be found if not already. Like it says in the press release it is a sleeping giant. The new buyers will I'm sure take Sheffield up into the top league where they really should have been along time ago.
