Bunce Posted August 5, 2020 Report Share Posted August 5, 2020 So I presume the upshot of all this is that the only way to view Swedish Speedway this year, is to subscribe to a pay to view channel? No Swedish Speedway on Freesport then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily- the main match that Premier will show every Tuesday and Thursday is likely to be little rivered(Phil does not like me using the proper word) There is a chance that the Swedish coverage of the same match will also be available. I don`t think Premier have ruled out showing the odd match on Freesports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, for SEK 189 (about £15-16) you can watch twenty matches in August alone, with the final three rounds (12 matches) of the regular season matches along with the play-offs in September, with the final slipping into October so it should only take three payments to watch the whole if truncated season. They have promised that if reception is ever blocked outside Sweden they will refund subscriptions to those affected. So, bear in mind the coverage is 'on 'demand', not live, and Poland isn't included. Subscription details are here: . https://www.elitspeedway.com/play It's a simple operation with excellent customer support in English Just renewed- roll on next Wednesday when i will start watching.

No Swedish Speedway on Freesport then? It must be stressed that ESS Play is now an additional service to the main TV deals which allow CMore to cover speedway in Sweden and in turn sell an international version to Premier/Freesports. The ESS Play coverage is not live and to me it will be a case of watching the main match on Premier or Freesports then the other three later online. ESS Play in no way interferes with Premier/Freesports' coverage. In fact last year when there was no TV deal in Sweden ESS Play instead sold a match a week to Premier/Freesports. As to whether the matches are on Premier or Freesports, it looks like the matches will be shown live on Premier with a repeat on Freesports a couple of days later. I hope this clarifies.

Losthammer Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) I have VPN for security reasons and have been delighted to find that if I change my location to Sweden you can watch everything live including the Polish meetings in HD which gives me the entire 'catalogue' of speedway this year for 189SEK a month. I have Polish TV anyway but it's cool to have access to everything. We truly are being spoilt this year with 8 meetings a week from Poland alone and now all the Swedish ones on top. In a year where our domestic speedway has been destroyed. It shows it can be done if you plan properly. Even with a COVD positive test Poland carried on and a week later were back at full capacity. You have to admire the Poles that's for sure! Edited August 7, 2020 by Losthammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you'll get all the Polish matches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnieg Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Those line-ups contain only one Pole (Adrian Gala - the man who rode in Vladisvostok and Vastervik on consequtive days last season) and just three foreigners averaging over six (= CRA of 1.50). Highest averaged rider appearing in round 1 is Ukranian Andrey Karpov (1.846). Only two other foreigners (Lambert & Fricke) and the top 4 Swedes (but no Fast Freddie) exceed a 1.50 CRA. With plans to restart the DSL stalled it looks like an opportunity for a lot of young Danes (e.g. Mads Hansen, Marcus Birkemose) to make their mark. Expect Phillip Hellstrom-Bangs to shine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it shows that that the new Polish requirements for testing if riding in the Swedish league is not stopping riders from doing both- i wonder how much the test for them and pit crew is ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwalker Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 Lineups are not 100 correct due to some riders not in the system yet. Adam Ellis will ride for Piraterna from what I have read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting - once Round Two begins, I can imagine that only Timo Lahti will have a comparable average to Andrei Karpov of the non-Swedes riding.
