Some other top tips: the square icon bottom right makes it full screen. On the race card under the video panel if you click on a heat it will take you to that heat. Right at the bottom on the left there is always a link to download a free race card in case you want to print it off and fill it in as you go! Thanks for the nice comments all and enjoy the playoffs!

SPEEDY69 Posted September 23, 2024 Report Share Posted September 23, 2024 There's a lot of miserable b'stards on here๐. I'm just glad to be able to watch it on TV as I would never attend that many meetings. Eurosport put the money in (I'm sure the BSP are glad they did) and the presenters do a great job - I can forgive the odd mistake, life's too short. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W9 Lion Posted September 23, 2024 Report Share Posted September 23, 2024 What goes out on TV is the Directors decision. Maybe the way forward would be to find someone already working in sports broadcasting who has an understanding of the sport. Step forward Steve Brandon....

Odds On Posted September 24, 2024 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2024 No problem at all with female presenters in sport, in fact i quite enjoy a number of them who have "history" within that sport, cricket and football are examples that straight away spring to mind, they can adlib and fill in those awkward moments with constructive input. The difference in speedway the person involved with the pit interviews has no history within it which thus means she doesn't have that rapport with the riders, some of the best female presenters in the pits have been the likes of Suzi Perry, Charlie Webster, Sophie Blake, Julia Bradbury but they all had that natural gift of knowing what to say at the right time.. I believe most of those ladies went on to greater things outside of speedway, but could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
