I`m not sure how the contract for staging the meeting is framed- if the track are paying the FIM a substantial fee for the privilege then live TV of the meeting would effect the crowd and possibly make the difference between profit and loss. Then if streaming geoblock as Edinburgh Speedway are able to - a practice commonplace in the U.S. for regular TV coverage. If the staging venue is at risk from live coverage how do the SEC hosts cope in what is a much inferior competition? If it can't be sold to a broadcaster and if FIM TV are there then the argument for streaming, perhaps with a fee is pretty strong. As is often the case in TV, it's a matter or what will be possible, not what can be. Of course if there's no crew there.....Mind you streaming fees could cover a Swedish ESS-style one camera stream. It works for them on mere league matches, as we both know. Edited August 24, 2019 by RobMcCaffery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because Onesport are the promoters and have the Eurosport tv contract bringing in money. Gorican speedway are the promoters of the challenge final. PPV internet streaming tonight could have brought in a lot of money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then perhaps the solution is to have the GP Challenge under the protection of the BSI deal rather than at the risk of the Pavlic family who I presume still control Gorican. If One Sport have proved something, it is possible to elevate minor competitions to fully-sponsored, internationally televised events on the flimsiest of bases. Yes, the risk could be too much for Gorican, which is why perhaps they are an unwise choice of host. But then, how many have there been at SGP and World Final level since the glory days of the Wembley, Katowice, Gothenburg triangle? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who is to blame for not being forward thinking enough to set it up- the FIM ? The host club ?(the contract might not allow them to do it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem, as always, is a lack of vision. As ever, we are crying out for people who can move us logically into the modern world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take Sweden this year - PPV in use. 72 matches plus 10 play-offs over 5 months at about £16 per month. About £1 per match! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
