noggin Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 Would like to know how much Eurosport are paying, will it mean clubs can use more than 1 rider over 8 , try to bring the quality back up instead of diluting every year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only says about 18 meetings from the domestic Premiership league in the SGB website release I read. That's not to say it wont be different when it comes to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally not happy that we are relegating ourselves, just will not feel the same in a lower league. I followed Cov for 50 odd years I haven't been to a meeting since just hoping I get to go back to Brandon before I pop my clogs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have all these years of chasing success and paying over the top money for the best riders finally broke the club that after one season there is nothing left to back it up? Matt Ford has put Poole in this position............he is a business man and now he isnt making any money he wants shot of it. I'm not sure Poole will drop down at all. I think it's a bluff to get something he wants. But we shall see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawk127 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 If you take the play offs away from the 18 mentioned that leaves 12 live meetings. Can someone confirm if that is either more or less than BT broadcast over the last season? Didn’t BT say how great it was to add speedway to their two wheeled offering? I guess it is a case of wait and see but hopefully they are able to match the live scheduling that BT and Sky gave to the sport as no one wants to see the last five or six heats of a live meeting because another sport has overrun. At least those with BT can cancel the subscription and watch the GPS on YouTube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woofers Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) This from the top of the press release: Starting in 2020, Eurosport will broadcast live on-site coverage from 18 rounds across the domestic SGB Premiership League season. This from the summary: Eurosport UK secures exclusive live broadcast rights to British Speedway Premiership and Championship Leagues from 2020• 18 live rounds per season So, who knows, the devils in the detail...not that detail is something the BSPA have a reputation for doing. And what’s this “rounds” ? Edited October 21, 2019 by woofers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what’s this “rounds” ? Whilst they have ‘exclusive’ rights to both leagues that does not necessarily mean they will show matches from both leagues. Didn’t BT have exclusive rights to both? If not I wonder why some matches were not streamed by a third party. Anyway, as has been said the devil will be in the detail and probably it will all depend on the make up of the leagues etc. Is it only BSPA that tries to con you into thinking that it will reinvent the sport each year and everything in the garden is rosey only to regularly fail miserably and the shambles rolls on. I hope Eurosport have done their homework on the workings of the BSPA and U.K. speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
