Can't they make the graphics bigger? And sorry Sam, me thinks he's never been up to the TV stuff as the nerves always show. Simon Stead, Olly Allen would be good alternatives.

Josh Pickering is a natural & Jason Crump

Scott Nicholls would be best in the pits role obviously when not riding. Never rated Crump as a commentator back when he uses to do Aussie GO  etc. Pickering was ok as a one off. Why isn’t Chris Louis being used?

Because he would have been at Wolves v Ipswich as the Ipswich promoter

Maybe because he is a Promoter in that league possibly? ..

Commenting on other teams' riders might get some negative responses from some? 

Definitely the most informative and natural of all the co commentators, and should be used often...

I wonder if he's interested in other sports? 

Sky's Super Sunday viewers would surely double if he joined Roy Keane and Graeme Souness in the studio. 

I randomly switched Sky Sports on a few years ago and was staggered to hear him commentating on some other motor sport... may have been the Race of Champions or something like that

Sam Ermolenko... the Stanley Unwin of Speedway

I see that BT Sport and Eurosport are to merge so Speedway could be disappearing behind a pay wall once again... One can only hope that they keep Sam Ermolenko on the payroll or else it may not be worth subscribing to!

Much prefer Eurosport to BT Sport. For a start Eurosport is cheaper and has a major advantage that you can pause/rewind/fast forward...makes it much more flexible when watching

I have a BT box to watch BT sport on, and access to the BT Sport on my IPad, and I can pause/rewind/fast forward recorded sports events, obviously not live sport.

My BT contract ends Jan 2023, what I do then I have not yet decided. Speedway GP and Premiership is with Discovery+ and I have their app at half price this year, and watch MotoGP/2/3 on BT sport. But it has got costly, and something has to go. Sort of 9 months to work out the figures and decide.

Similar position bt and Discovery plus have officially announced a merger so will wait to see what options are available.

It sounds initially they will operate as two separate companies but bt will have access to Eurosport and discovery plus will have access to bt.

Will have to wait to see what the cost will be whether or not one will be cheaper than the other
