chris4gillian Posted April 25, 2022 Report Share Posted April 25, 2022 Following the very sad passing of Nigel 'the voice of speedway' Pearson, has there been any news regarding who will be commentating? I sincerely hope Kelv stays on, but he may not wish to continue without his dear friend Nigel. I can't find anything on the web... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect nothing will be announced in advance, find out on Saturday. My guess would be Chris Louis but purely a guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have a stand in on Saturday ahead of a formal announcement after Nigel's funeral has taken place. But if anyone is listening, what about our own Dave Goddard? Very knowledgeable, personable and engages with his audience well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would certainly hope so! For a while, it was done via the SGP website, and then switched to YouTube, so I have no reason to suspect that we would be deprived of it this year.

hagonshocker Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Turns out I signed up for it on my tablet and linked it to my Sky Q box but sky already have me a free 12 month sub....for the basic discovery app...so had to try and watch snooker (zzzz) just to try it out on an Android device but keeps saying playback error....going to try firestick now, have signed in and will see if the live streams work....generally awful service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it may be Dave Rowe, who posted on twitter earlier that he was in Croatia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Qualification now on. It's Kelvin Tatum and Chris Louis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) I take it that this qualifying session is fastest lap gets first pick of rider number? If so it's completely pointless as the track is gone after the first 3 sets of quali already. Surely they should aggregate the times or average them after the completion of all of the quali sessions. Or a knock out format like F1, this current format just doesn't work for me Edited April 30, 2022 by iainb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a new rule or is it a typo? Certainly looks like it. If this is true I'm surprised it hasn't been made more widely known. That is quite a big change.
