OK, so reserves cannot be replaced but others can only have 1 ride, or none? Am I right?

Have you found the stream patchy Dave. I’m watching on Polish TV and they’ve lost the feed several times.

It's been woeful on Premier. Turned it off as it was so patchy. Cutting in and out halfway through heats. Completely ruined the meeting.

It'll need to get a lot better going forward.

Thanks for replying. I’ve not been very impressed with the presentation either. As you say they’re going to have to get better. It has settled down (touch wood) so hopefully it’s teething troubles.

the problem is, i think at the Swedish end, they must be providing the stream, because i turned off the polish eleven sports stream to watch premier sports and they are both the same

 

ruined it for me too, just watching the updates now

Yeah, there is lots of complaint on their facebook page.  https://www.facebook.com/pg/speedwayplay/reviews/

I didn't watch this any of the meetings (neither stream or on location since I have an exam tomorrow) so I don't
know myself yet if it was good or bad.

Smederna had almost the same amount of spectators as the other three meetings combined, 5431 vs, 6031.
However, I do think to an extent that Vetlanda and Västervik might steal some spectators of each other.

I had to give up on it too.  You should not have to memorize the score and heat, let alone having to imagine what happened in a race because you could not see it.  Hopefully Premier Sports will be complaining quite strongly about the poor quality of the feed they received as that was unacceptable.

Another quick questions regarding new rules to our friend Ghost.

Can tactical subs still be used in heat 14? Expected Masarna to "play" both Lindback and Tai in heat 14 and then again as nominated top scorers in heat 15. 

But instead Prz Pawlicki and Kim Nilsson were used in ht 14.

Haven't really seen which team signed which riders over the winter. Looking at tonight's lineups. Rospiggarna are walking the title injuries permitting, Lejonen you can stick a fork in now.

no that is not possible. Heat 13 is the  last heat in which you use tac-sub.

Just watched the Vastervik v Indianerna match on video(my subscription) and echo everything about the cutting in and out( not acceptable) and the graphics only came to life half- way through. The commentator Stefan Klemetz(ex c more ?) was obviously in a studio and was getting the same stop start pictures. the quality of the HD picture was good however and i`m prepared to put it down to 1st night glitches. I will post further after i have watched the other 3 matches.
