A ORLOV 8,628 Posted September 3, 2017 NINETY-nine per cent likely that there will be no TV money. The best the BSPA can hope for is that BT pay the production costs. With at least two clubs signing up riders for next year or buying "assets" recently, Poole and Swindon, something must be sorted out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,778 Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) Clubs who sign riders before the rules and the financial position is certain know there is an element of risk but are obviously prepared to take that risk in the hope of being a step ahead of the game.

Fromafar 10,333 Posted September 3, 2017 Clubs who sign riders before the rules and the financial position is certain know there is an element of risk but are obviously prepared to take that risk in the hope of being a step ahead of the game.These clubs dictate the rules though.

ouch 1,191 Posted September 3, 2017 Here we go again. It amazes me that when someone posts an opinion (on a forum, go figure) instead of challenging that opinion with your own thoughts and dare I suggest a few facts, you just throw insults with no reference made to the original point. Calling someone boring, a troll, a child or sad just takes up bandwidth as does saying they post garbage, break forum rules or with one contributor just laughs at them, in writing! Â Britpete had the best response when he simply expressed his opinion that he likes the Wolves track, without any abuse tacked on. Â I've taken the option to "view it anyway" to help put this post together as it is almost always the same culprits. Please have a thought for other users and let's keep topics on track. Â It's odd that BT should only be showing one meeting as everything will be set up so the expense of showing the second meeting is minimal. They still have the programme finishing at 11 so are they going to put on a filler instead of live sport after the first meeting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flagrag 704 Posted September 3, 2017 The biggest cost of broadcasting the second match from Wolverhampton would be the Satellite uplink capacity which would likely cost around another £3-5000 the staffing costs would not really change that much as they are paid a daily rate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,632 Posted September 3, 2017 So have BT confirmed what they are showing on Monday at Wolves. My on-screen programme schedule still shows 1930 to 22.30 with only a half hour cancelable repeated footie programme following in case of speedway running over presumably?! Â From BT's perspective (aside from any cost implications), it makes sense to show the first meeting featuring 2 of the play-off teams. As for the 2nd meeting, I'm not sure?
