In my professional opinion I would say viewing would have far exceeded the BARB algorithm figures and is an ex woke of fly Channels look more now and pay for the Sky data as shows lots more. Have to remember even from the data I posted this does not include any viewers using Freeview,Virgin,EETV, ITV X or Freely there was overseas viewing so Phil Morris rough prediction is not that far out

Can’t give you the full details as commercially sensitive but can confirm over 125,000 watched Or recorded the Live Speedway on Sky Q or Sky Stream. There is also still over 15,000 users that have it saved on their box most of which have viewed over 30mins of action

Ipswich May not be the only British team with a formal association to a Polish Club Extraliga team in 2027 Clubs appear to be keen to get some of their younger riders over to ride in the UK as well which would be a good thing

Not just that but I am told got changed before the end of the meeting after a telling off from Stewart who was fuming with his attitude

That’s decent figures for a Saturday evening on ITV4 and have to remember it’s also about advertising revenue that brings in . What the sport really needs is sponsorship that will pay 15k a meeting towards the production costs that makes it more viable to broadcasters. Due to new technology and remote production meaning that less staff now around 7-8 need to travel to site rather than 25+ last time Sky broadcast Speedway

The exposure and viewing figures could possibly be less than BSN so not worth it as most sports fans will likely have a Sky sports and possibly TNT subscription but will not pay out an extra £10-17 a month for Premier sports. In fact back in June it was found at times there was a lot more people watching for free streaming on firestick and such like that than there was using official services

BSN can only broadcast one match at a time and also people may decide to stay at home to watch the other meeting

Stewart Dickson confirmed at Leicester on Thursday on the microphone before the match that it will be 1st vs 4th on first 21st then 2nd vs 3rd on 24th and same way round the following week. All should be confirmed early next week ( Think he meant Thursday) Unless any last minute deals done very unlikely though, play offs will be on BSN not on mainstream TV which is disappointing and Leicester are looking at best guest options but complicated due to outstanding matches (Before tonight’s meetings ) as some riders averages may change which would rule them out of guesting on play offs for Leicester

Unless Kings Lynn were to get home and away wins against Leicester then Max would be in the play offs for Kings Lynn with Leicester still facing Sheffield

Max has never been a rider keen to do guest bookings especially with his SGP place on the line but may want to keep himself race fit

Let’s see how they feel on Wednesday as bruising can feel worse after a day or Two but would say more likely Dan will ride but Nick may be out a little bit longer to recover

If it’s the Radial nerve need to hope it’s not a career ending injury and that surgery is successful but even then recovery with full movement and strength can be 12 months plus so may be optimistic to be looking at Wildcard SGP place in 2027. It now appears the original reports and leaks from Poland after the accident were correct even though Chris said don’t believe everything you read

The on screen presentation and comms have been fine but is not coming across as a professional production. This is more to do with equipment used and people using them . They were given a price for BVTV to produce it and provide the facilities then another for SGP team and a higher quality production. As others have said do like the onscreen graphics and timings also second back of races seems to be better
