I think we have our first barney of the year! Get in 👍🏿😂 Looking forward to getting involved in one myself soon 😍

To take a positive, at least the British Speedway & SGP rights are on the same channel, even if it has gone up to £30.99 p/m. Imagine if British Speedway was on Sky and SGP on TNT, that'd be nearly a £50 subscription fee! It's hard to see the SGP (SoN etc) being shown anywhere else as WBD own the staging and TV rights.

The stores aren't bothered by it either or they'd employ proper security. They'll have a certain amount of "leakage" budgeted into their numbers and will make up any shortfall by raising prices for the plebs (us) queuing at the tills.

Will it be edited highlights though... or just the last x minutes of the broadcast I wonder?

I think that's a bit of wishful thinking. They're not going to pay for OB facilities and not show it on their main channels on a Monday night when there's no football on, and correct me if I'm wrong but TNT don't show any Monday night football anyway.

I'm looking into things... I've got an nVidia Shield, have downloaded TiviMate and that's as far as I've got. Any recommendations on a decent IPTV provider?

Tickets on sale today... no line-up announced other than the Aces riders

Can anybody recommend a good IPTV provider?

I very much doubt that SGP2, SON2, Sprint Races and (who cares) SGP quali would be shown on TNT, so sticking with a variation of Discovery+ maybe seems like the best option. I assume the Discovery+ app will still be an option in non UK regions? Maybe that and a VPN subscription would be the way to go?

Betty's hotpot for breakfast...

Cameraman misses the action... again!

It has been on a downward spiral since Sky paid up to get out of the contact early, BT Sport... and finally the indignity of Eurosport! Now we're faced with the prospect of Eurosport production at TNT prices. IMO it is still a product that is ideally suited to TV but lacks any innovation or in depth coverage because it's basically produced by work experience kids (and that's being kind)

The obligatory response, of course, is neigh I won't 😂

Their first mare of the season!

Workington Winkers? 😂

That would be quite a shock, like others have said it's quite a nice Monday night air filler during the summer, interesting times, coming on the back of the loss of Cardiff it's not great times for British Speedway.

No news... news lol

Some positive news for once, let's hope it comes to fruition... and let's hope they don't use the Leicester track as a blueprint!

You're not suggesting the Regs are full of holes are you?

On a pure Speedway coverage quantity basis maybe, but TNT do broadcast World Championship Speedway alongside Premiership... and you get all of the other sport as well. I suppose being a Poole fan though, it's the lower level Speedway you're more interested in lol 😉😂

Do you have BSN? That equates to £41.66 p/m

Last year Discovery+ showed: 17 Premiership meetings, including all of the play off legs 1 British Final 10 SGP's 3 SWC's 3 SGP 2's 1 SWC 2 8 SGP Quali's (meh) 2 SGP Sprint Races (meh) That's 35 actual meetings, for a price of £6.99 p/m based on a 6 month subscription that worked out at an amazing £1.19 per meeting. Even at £30.99 p/m that's £5.31 a meeting for "world class" Speedway (plus all of the other sport that will be shown), compared to BSN who plan to show 58 meetings (of varying standard) in 2025 for £250, working out at £4.31 a meeting the TNT subscription starts to look more appealing and competitively priced, it's just a bit of a bummer that Eurosport used to be free (included) for Sky/Virgin subscribers and now isn't, Discovery+ was included at no extra cost for Sky customers and now the sports won't, you could get the Discovery Standard subscription for as little as £3.99 p/m.

Did you book a hotel? You were pretty sure it was going to happen 😉

It is indeed a sad day, Eurosport have been letting me down for more years than I care to remember, right from day one back in the mid 90's. Premier Sports seem the rightful heirs to their crown for anybody willing to pay their fees
