SCB Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Excellent piece from the Express, what a good advert Agreed. It's brillaint. Speedway should be grabbing hold of Mark Webber and banging on about his love of the sport in an effort to make speedway cool. Sport doesnt get much more cool than F1 so to have an F1 driver interested in speedway should be a big boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerblues Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 Some coverage like this is great, could do with more of that kind of attention in the press at other times during the season too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rob Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 There was exactly 6 lines about the Cardiff GP in the daily star today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) TV listing magazines are an important source of publicity. The one i use regularly features a speedway picture and preview block of normal speedway matches on Sky. This week, in addition to the block on the actual day's page, it has a full-blooded full page article solely on the GP. It's called 'Total TV Guide' Does anyone have details of display articles in other tv mags? Wondering specifically Radio Times and TV Times.

manchesterpaul Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) The following link will provide you with a list, that grows by the hour, of news links and articles from a myriad of sources. I use it every year before and after the GP. Even if i say so myself it is a SUPERB LINK UPDATING NEWS/ARTICLES Edited June 26, 2008 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbit Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) I wouldn't doubt what Shovvy says - he's a man of many talents you know Another good article in the Daily Express again today - have to say I'm impressed with their speedway section online. Never really looked at it before - there's a good piece on tonight's PL Pairs in there too. Edited June 27, 2008 by rabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzman Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 There's a piece in the Guardian comparing the way a Speedway bike turns to Moto GP bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 That's right. Back of the sports section, demonstrating how riders slide around bends and advertising the GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
