Lukas 911 Posted December 12, 2017 I went to cancel it but they halved my bill so kept it...even if it is just for the GP's and a bit of football. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MattK 3,447 Posted December 13, 2017 I was watching TV early the other morning and there was what I can only describe as a reality TV show about the crew on a luxury yacht and it got me thinking - how much would it cost to produce some kind of reality series for speedway. There are two possible angles I can think of. The first would be to follow riders during the course of a season racing for their Britsh teams. You could gamify this by having some kind of fantasy speedway angle with senior/ex riders, managers, sponsors etc. picking their teams and meeting/advising the riders they have chosen. An alternative approach could be to create a competition, such as a series for NL riders and each week profile a rider or two and follow their progress through the series. I think this has the potential to expose speedway to a much wider audience than meetings on Sky/BT Sport ever could. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

STEPHEN 333 58 Posted December 14, 2017 Spoke to Natalie at the Craig Cook evening last night and asked about BT's involvement in 2018 as regards the GP's and she confirmed that although it is the last year of the three year current contract, they are keen to continue into 2019, and the same is to be said for the league in 2018, she did say that BT is still talking to the people in charge about covering meetings in 2018, and hope to continue into 2019. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smithchops 5 Posted January 7, 2018 We are all still none the wiser about league coverage then, I did hear (although not sure how true it is) that BT were interested if they didn’t have to pay !!, hope that isn’t the case 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedway will never get a console game. It would cost far too much to make. It might be someones little dream but the reality is that it just won't happen. Anyway, has anyone emailed Sky yet about TV coverage? Edited January 7, 2018 by SCB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
