He could do it a little more subtlety. How did speedway meetings manage before some clown in a headset? 

Still living in the 1950's eh? That is what sport and television is all about these days.

To be fair it's the production team that are focusing on him it's not really his fault if he features more than he should.

Stop making sense; he doesn't want to believe fact...

Because everyone has to be in constant contact. It's the way it is these days...

There is no left hand side menu. 

 

First thing that comes up is Live and Upcoming events and there's nothing there.

Under this is Cycling and under that is recently ended with GP Qualifying???  It's crap.

At the top it should say all sport, then go to speedway.

Is he your dad or something? Phil Morris rushing about shouting instructions through a headset is nothing to do with modernising the sport - it’s 100% down to feeding his ego.

There's nothing like that if you subscribe through Prime for Discovery plus Sport.  Actually found it in the TV Guide.  I clicked on it and it said I don't have "HIDDEN" channels.

Anyway thanks for trying to help.  It let's me watch it on my PC. :rofl:

He has already done the ego thing with the quiz shows he has won and the success of his business ventures. Does not need speedway to boost it, it does not pay enough

I assume they might be making it more like Rugby, they say it's so the crowd have more interaction with what is going on.

Same as they have been doing in American sport for years...

Because he is the Race Director and has to communicate with others,  when the “others” are not in his immediate vicinity the Mike system helps.

I think he does a good job. He has a voice of authority and others jump when he issues an instruction or info …… ie 2 minute warning, riders move when they here that.

Apparently he doesn't. DazS says so...
