f-s-p Posted June 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 So no one is interested in buying the SGP rights for a few quid, make everything better compared to the current setup and best of all, NOT KEEP ANY OF THE MONEY MADE but put it back in to the sport. Naturally only in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Maybe nobody will be interested in buying ...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 How it is done now is more than acceptable to me ( yes a few imperfections ) but they are close to getting it "right". Buster Chapman is said to be interested but not in the part that was suggested: " not to keep any of the money made". Although if he did that he could buy all of the "top" league UK clubs and switch the riders around as a whim came to him. Very Nero like.

Without knowing better, I’d say IMG wants to continue, even on the current deal but no one else is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bavarian Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Is ONE SPORT showing no interest to get it? Would surprise me if there wasn't any Polish company making an offer to get the FIM Speedway rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Think I read somewhere that a couple companies are interested. IMG, One Sport, Eurosport Events, and another one.

No one seems to be taking On e Sport seriously (no money apparently) but a FIM decision is expected in August. IMG's current contract doesn't expire until the end of the 2021 campaign so it is possible that they will be running the SGP for two years knowing that they will be handing it over to another company at the duration. Very odd... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very odd... If I'm wrong, please say so, but OneSport was created to copy paste the SGP format and run SEC with it. If it was just that, then fine, but all the bullrubbish and politics aimed against FIM and IMG a few years back has not been forgotten. So in away I can't see them taking over SGP, but then again FIM did give WSL to the never heard promoter that was taking it to Berlin and Dubai... It was a longer process than a decision in August, I did read the letter... ...and yes, it's not all bad what OneSport does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMG are a multi-national company under the umbrella of an even bigger USA corporation that could be about to go 'public.' Eurosport Events are part of the Discovery group, no money issues there. And one of the other potential bidders seem to have all their eggs in a row, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Sportowefakty are reporting that a decision is expected in December. they are reporting that Eurosport events/Discovery group could involve themselves with Onesport if they get the contract which is for 10 years from 2022, with Onesport taking over the building of the temporary tracks.

Gambo Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 From the FIM Press Release:- Speedway: A tender was launched during the third trimester of 2019 for the promotion of the FIM Speedway Grand Prix World Championship for 2022-2031. Various offers were submitted to the FIM Board of Directors, who chose after much consideration to sign with Discovery / Eurosport Events as their proposal was the most interesting and innovative from a sports, development and TV coverage point of view. The FIM would like to thank BSI for its dedication and hard work and hopes to collaborate with them again in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the positives in this change? How much better will the tracks be if OneSport takes over building them I translated the Poltorak article from Sportfaty and she seemed happy. Something about stagnating series and now new ideas will make things better. Wonder how they make it better in an enviroenment thats in decline all over?

Don’t shoot the messenger !!!! certainly Chorzow hasn’t produced any decent racing for OneSport yet !! Eurosport events are bound to (with Onesport assistance maybe) have some new ideas. The biggest change could be the TV contracts as Eurosport in Europe must be in prime position to show the GP’s from 2022, which won’t please Canal plus(Poland) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the one thing mentioned was making it available on Eurosport rather than pay tv. Remains to be seen really whether they can put new life into the series and bring new venues and new sponsors in.

Eurosport 2 is pay tv over here. Chorzow -> exactly. Only other big meeting I’ve seen a ”roller” mid meeting is the first Warsaw meeting. So in my mind packing a track with one mid meeting is not something classified as a first class track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
