Believe the original was the day of Nigel Pearsons funeral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe the original was the day of Nigel Pearsons funeral. The reason given for the original postponement was stadium unavailability. However I do believe that this date did coincide with Nigel's funeral. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gasser90 Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 What’s the betting they don’t show the re arranged british final.! As it won’t be in their schedule. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 The presenters of the British final were floundering badly after rain brought it to a halt, switching between each other like they were playing a game of pass the turd. This wasn't their fault, however, more likely poor direction belying lack of preparation for something which was very predictable to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it won’t be in their schedule. You took the words out my mouth...Just watched it..a shambles and a farcical decision..feel for Bomber and Brennan bigtime. I can't believe people on here are slagging Tatum..I think he's a brilliant pundit and commentator, Louis is good as a sidekick for me.

IainB Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Eurosport's coverage deteriorated even further last night where most of the ad-breaks were just filled with musical video montages instead of interesting extra content as was fanfared at the start of the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heathcote Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Wasnt the interesting extra content only stated for the sale of watching the GP's on the Discovery App where there are no ad breaks? Although if it was mentioned as being part of Eurosports British Speedway coverage, in order to have extra interesting content, you would require something interesting to happen through the meeting for them to discuss. I know the sport is at the mercy of the weather and that is beyond Eurosprts control but seems every meeting they go to recently the track is in an absolutely shocking state. Obviously the poor track on Monday lead to a much closer meeting but at times it was like watching novices ride around, a good track would have produced better racing but inevitably would have lead to a very easy win for the Wolves. With regards an "extra" content, sadly I have to say you would require someone better than Sam to deliver it, interviews or interviews with riders about technical aspects of the bike or track should always be conducted by Brando, a consummate professional with regards interviews and has enough knowledge and interest in speedway to ask pertinent questions. Abi is a bright cheerful presenter but is no more than that and only really has to fulfil 15 mins at the start and a minute or two after each ad break. Whilst I think Kelvin has done an excellent job as main commentator I still feel he would be better suited as co commentator to Dave Rowe, may not have the same spark as him and Nigel, but Kelvin is excellent at providing insight whilst he is still learning as main commentator. The addition this year of various co commentators from current riders though has been great I feel, with both Josh Pickering and Steve Worral being excellent in the job so far 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
