.however if anyone wants to watch live coverage now from sweden you need to invest in a motorised system and go to thor 1 degrees west . enjoy (sky dont get it all their way). live grand prix on this satellite also . invest, watch, and enjoy.

Or just watch a livestream on the net B)

I used to love watching Swindon winning at Oxford on Screensport. Presented by Lee Richardson's mum. Those were the days.

The best days were when Paul Bonner produced the shows.

 

Commentators included Rob McCaffrey, Edwin Overland, Dave Lanning and pit interviewers Mike Bennett, Chris French.

 

Speedway had a BL / NL match of the week show in those days.

 

After disappearing for a few years, Tommy Rander returned showing internationals and Swedish League. Clive Fisher being the main commentator with Mike Bennett as pit interviewer.

 

Myself, my brother and Warwick Mead from Wolverhampton were amongst the many cameramen used.

Yes i remember it well. Screensport were the only channel to cover Ice Speedway.

 

Every season we had the WTC & world championship rounds & the final.

 

I remember Clive Fisher almost losing his voice when Erik Stenlund won the world title in 1988. :lol:

 

Pity it isn't on tv anymore,far more entertaining than that tripe that's on Sky . :cry:

just been looking at some of my old recordings i made from screensport back in 91-92 this afternoon and not only enjoyed the speedway but thought how proffesional the presentation was.

 

IMO Clive Fisher was the best commentator that has covered ice speedway/speedway.

 

Last i heard of him he was at Poole.

Yes I think he is as I seem to remember a few moans about him coming from the direction of Wimborne Road. I'd still swap him for Peter York though. :lol:

It's very confusing I have to admit. Perhaps we have to make up our own thread titles instead now? :unsure:

 

Post a thread and be damned for evermore I say....;)

 

PS Wolfslayer - Clive is a good friend and can be found doing appearances at Blunsdon on Thursdays. He was the voice of Screensport which is where I first heard him. I do apparently though, appear to be in a minority of liking his style. ;)
