mike1944 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 I can never understand that on the BBC Sport website speedway comes under MotoGP, for some reason best known to the BBC. All those minority sports in the index buried under "more sport" one would have thought they coud at least have a speeedway heading. I did contact the BBC and they said they only had room in the index for so many sports there looks plenty of room to increase it to me. What has speedway got to do with MotoGP?

jim3751 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Substantial report on BBC Look North Lincolnshire tonight. Â Fantastic for Lincolnshire but it would be nice to see it on the National News. That's the one where they have to be first with the big news and some smiley wannabe spikes their own football prog that follows it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emerald tyke Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Thats all well and good PR but that coverage in SS will only be read by the "already converted"!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepturningleft Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yet another good feature on Tai including interview back in Scunthorpe on Yorkshire Calendar programme today. Strictly speaking they don't cover news from Lincolnshire so it's good to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.N.T. Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 As many of you have seen or heard that Tai winning the world title has been featured on many TV, Radio and newspapers. All this is good for the sport and the people responsable for getting this coverage deserve a pat on the back ...... but be careful not to hurt that collar bone !!
