Because the whole TV costs for getting there/setting up run into thousands !! and they had to give it every chance however slim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what work went into getting the track into a condition to race after the rain hit as Eurosport didn't show anything like they showed from Sheffield. And a former promoter on here said that it doesn't make any difference whether the TV cameras are there or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly makes a difference to Eurosport- any matches where they have arrived at the track and incurred costs are minused off the contracted number they agree to show- already down to 17 this season and they will probably use Monday`s rain-off to reduce the 2022 number as they can`t this season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Maybe, I don't know, last time I walked around by the 3rd/4th turns I'd never seen so many tractors in one place! I thought every track had a blade? Don't they blade the track after every meeting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
