SteveLyric2 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Torun waiting til Monday for a reply from Greg Hancock!! Looks likely they will go without Jason Doyle, which might explain Darcy Ward's tweet that he is 'stoked' at Chris Holder's news!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_martin Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 http://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/562734/ekstraliga-w-zagranicznej-telewizji-przetarg-zakonczony# One wonders if this may finally signal the awarding of the contract for the management of international TV rights to an agency that actually does want to sell Polish Speedway to a UK broadcaster instead of doing the SlowSpeed International tactic of acquiring the rights in order to block the transmission of the spectacle to the British public in order to protect the image of the British speedway on Sky.

PHILIPRISING Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 TRANSLATED by Speedway Star's Polish correspondent... November 23 was the date when the auction for the international TV rights for screening Polish Extraleague in 2016-2018 finished. It is possible that the top tier will be broadcast live by a foreign TV channel. So far the Polish Extraleague campaign has been shown only in Poland by nSport+ channel . Nevertheless, it might change in the forthcoming season. This week the PGE Ekstraliga board of directors launched an auction for international rights for broadcasting the top division meetings. A number of agencies acquiring such rights on usual basis took part in the auction. Wojciech Stepniewski, the PGE Ekstraliga CEO, told SportoweFekty.pl: “We have received a few offers and the auction is over now. For the time being I am not supposed to reveal many details because Extraleague clubs need to be acquainted with the relevant information.” Eventually, international rights for showing the Extraleague will belong to one agency that will later be able to sell them to a foreign TV station. PGE Ekstraliga CEO admits screening the division’s meetings outside Poland would enable a further development of the product. It is believed such transmissions could attract many viewers in such countries as Denmark, Sweden or Great Britain. Stepniewski adds: “Showing Extraleague meetings outside Poland would be a fantastic promotion of the top Polish league. The problem is that in many speedway nations Sunday, when Poland stages its league meetings, is a typical football day, which would definitely attract bigger numbers than our speedway.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 So,does that last sentence mean they are looking at changing the race day to avoid a clash with football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 So,does that last sentence mean they are looking at changing the race day to avoid a clash with football? Just cant see them abandoning the paying public in favour of tv audience... Which is probably what they will do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 How big is Sunday Football in Sweden and Denmark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 How big is Sunday Football in Sweden and Denmark? Don't think their football is that big in Denmark,although they do play on sunday.The big problem for Sweden,Denmark and a lot of countries is they watch English or Spanish football on sunday.English football at least is very big and there are lts of fans who even travel over for the games.So I guess it gets big coverage.The trouble is really which day doesn't clash with football now?Even the Bundesliga want,to protests from the lower league,to play on Mondays for tv money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f-s-p Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I have the Cmore package, Canal+ in other countries. There isn't a day without UK footy being on it. Pubs show skysports over here and on weekends there's a live match every 120 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 According to this article, the city of Rzeszów's financial support to the speedway team was not enough for Stali Rzeszów to pay all their bets and therefor bankruptcy is becoming more likely. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsportowefakty.wp.pl%2Fzuzel%2F563648%2Fdramatyczna-sytuacja-stali-rzeszow-miasto-nie-pokryje-calosci-dlugu&edit-text= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostwalker Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Valsarna have made one change already. Damian Balinski have had to change his mind on riding in Sweden and he is replaced by Ludvig Lindgren. http://www.speedwaynyheter.se/2015/11/30/lindgren-in-balinski-ut-i-valsarna/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Over and out for ZKS Ostrovia as they are bankrupt and resigned from the league. Probably Wroclaw will stage their meetings there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
