high edge Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago On tv the other morning there was interviews and some action of a game informing the viewers that the Netball season is about to start.Now i have nothing against netball fair play to them getting this coverage on main stream tv BBC. Got to ask were is the public relations officer regards to getting speedway a mention,if a sport like netball can do it so should speedway or have we sunk so low in the sporting world. Also i would like to see more crowd involvement lets get the old war cries back every team had one and it gets people interested when i was a supporter at Belle Vue when i was younger it was a highlight of the meetings shouting for your team with a war cry it made us feel part of the team,bring them back then instead of the crowd looking miserable between races get them doing something to keep the atmasfear going.

The most despised person at Borussia Monchengladbach? The one who shouts... "Give us a B!".... The sport is tiny, with no major sponsors, an ageing white middle aged, and above demographic fanbase, hardly any competitor's, and an operating model ran with a credibility rating akin to pro Wrestling... A credibility rating which reduces any silverware success to fhe level of "Sunday League" sports who have a similar "lets bring in ringers" philosophy... Eg Thank you NKI for playing a significant role in Belle Vue becoming Champions, but Boool!!! For Bomber for helping Ipswich beat the Aces in the semi the year before... Before he then helped Sheffield beat Ipswich in the final.. . All played out in a wide ranging level of stadium standards and comfort, often miles away from what a 1995 audience, let alone a 2025 audience, would expect... Good luck with selling that product... Cannot see anyone pitching it on Dragons Den.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Eck Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago The Premiership media launch is at Oxford on 23 March. Sounds similar to last year with plenty of riders - in race suits - attending and opportunities for interviews with everyone involved. From all accounts, last year’s launch was well run and received and hopefully this will also apply this year especially with the venue being closer for the southern-centric media.

FromBendThree Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Speedway is not one of the BBC’s sports, ie not one they broadcast. Sport, as pointed out above by Mikebv has wrong demographics for Beeb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) British speedway has 2 sets of problems, 1 what happens inside the sport. 2 what happens outside the sport, inside Phil morris is trying to sort but in reality people are not not going because of what happens in the sport. A good promoter will sell a turd to a sewage works, this leads to what is happening outside the sport and it’s perception and consciousness of the public and standing in the community and to be frank it has none and that’s never going to be sorted by anybody who has any sort of stake in the game and as I come to learn in recent years some of the people within the game are putting it mildly not the best to be associated with speedway Edited 2 hours ago by THE DEAN MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
