HAMMER180 96 Posted June 7, 2018 I think the powers that be should approach the BBC as they seem to have some sort of connection to BT (shared presenters etc) as the BBC have lost a lot of main stream sports as SKY have thrown a ton of money at the football darts etc and the BBC cannot compete with the billions thrown at it that's the reason BT are not paying much if anything for the speedway as the football they have got cost 2.4 billion The BBC sport website is showing lots of low key sports and I feel they would jump at the chance if the price was right and the coverage would be accessible to a much wider audience.

Wasn't it an Anglia TV production showing local motor sport with Steve Rider? I know he did "Midweek Sport Special" maybe it was that programme. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know he did "Midweek Sport Special" maybe it was that programme. It was in the 70's and I remember a Panthers v Mildenhall meeting with the Hines brothers riding!! I know I had them all recorded on VHS tapes. I think there were around 7 or 8 tracks operating in the region inc Bosotn and Milton Keynes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickthemuppet 976 Posted June 8, 2018 The Speedway programme was shown on Thursday night on Anglia including a rider of the series It included Milton Keynes and Rye House although at he time could not be picked up on those two tracks as the signal was not strong enough. I remember giving Mick Hines some tracks which had him and his brother on them as he had no videos of them racing The next programme Anglia tv did was called Wheels which comprised Speedway , Truck Racing, Stock Car, Drag Racing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob B 1,245 Posted June 11, 2018 Don't know what happened tonight but it seems anyone who set it to record on Sky it didn't record, BT must have changed the programme information at last minute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
