The Cheese Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 https://www.eurosport.co.uk/speedway/ Might be useful if Eurosport could make the effort to update this page. Going back to their press release when this deal was announced it said "The latest stories and news will be covered in-depth" Since then (October 2019) there has been 1 article which announces the agreement to show the GPs and SoN from 2022. The fixtures page doesn't even have a section for British speedway and I'm not quite sure what the making of Jesse Lingard has to do with the sport? But at least on the schedule they've now updated Monday's fixture to 'Round 1' rather than saying it was from 'Blue Vale' as it suggested a couple of days ago. On a more positive note, the presenting/commentary line-up looks good and it's great that the sport will be shown on free-to-air TV. Hopefully we'll have an entertaining season!

I fear that some will jump on this and sign up before realising they cannot view in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If want to watch online in this country then can pay £6.99 per month for Eurosport player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing there won't be a meeting on Eurosport on the 31st May because of the French Open tennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it has changed - and from what I was told by a BT guy I was talking to at Belle Vue a couple of years ago - that whilst Natalie was a contracted BT employee, both Kelvin and Nigel have been employed on a freelance basis by both Sky and BT Sports. Don't disagree with some of your other comments though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBP Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Eurosport coverage looks really good a good little feature for people not familiar with speedway explaining the rules, bikes, clothing. Also regular live updates from the other matches. Bodes well for the rest of the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
