Speedway On Tv And The Internet In 2024


Recommended Posts

Well I've been generally quiet on the forum for a while (apart from the "odd" thread) and was not up-to-speed with the discussion around the lack of speedway on Eurosport. I went to the schedules this morning to see which of tonight's two matches was being shown. Well you know what I found. I even went to the player thinking Eurosport had done the dirty on us again. Well they haven't done the dirty, they have taken the piss (pardon my language). When I found a complete absence of speedway on tonight I did think there would be match on Thursday. For those who haven't looked, I'll give you one guess.
Surely Peterborough Wolverhampton is an attractive proposition? Or am I missing something?

And in case anyone is thinking I'm armchair fan, I went to Glasgow on Friday to do some more missionary work (:D) supporting my adopted team Leicester (rained off). I was heading back on Saturday to see the return match (rained off). And finally went to Mildenhall yesterday (rained off). I thought that was a well planned weekend. How ironic that the only completed meeting I saw was Edinburgh vs Kent! At least I was able to support Scotty as a Coventry/Leicester graduate .

Out of interest. Has anybody kept count on the number of times each Premiership club appeared in this seasons live broadcasts?
It would be interesting to see the data on number of times each team were featured at home, away and thus total. 
 Ideally play offs should be shown separately from the regular season.

Not really worth a thread of it's own so I'll put it here..

This Saturday at 12pm on Talking Pictures in the 'Look At Life' series - "1961. A look at the sport of speedway racing, a sport which satisfies the modern thirst for speed. Also, with a look at how cross-country riding introduced a new hazard of manmade obstacles."

Less than 10 minutes long so probably not much to see but might be interesting

BBC Breakfast News this morning featuring Dan Bewley and the TeamGB winners of the SoN.

Could TeamGB be in line for the 'Team of the Year' award on SPOTY tomorrow?!

Watched a link on Facebook. A good report I thought.

Why do they always feel the need to back speedway with generic rock music in these reports? So 1980's

I got an email from Premier Sports today promoting the return of their coverage, but no offer to entice me to resubscribe.  It is the only sport I watched on the channel but full price is a bit too much to justify.
