Not his responsibility but as they are team mates and fellow Brits just thought he might give him a few tips along the way, simple as that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebv 10,270 Posted January 1, 2021 Reading the Speedway Star this week and the proposed "huge" TV contract being negotiated for 2022, and the possible ten team top league, I would think there could be even more 'interference' from Poland... Their second division too, is drawing very good viewing figures so is looking to get more from their deal as well... Even more reason to 'go it alone' over here I would think and be in charge of your own destiny... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I work with some Polish people, when I mention Speedway to them they all seem to have similar answers. Speedway in Poland is not national, the area where Speedway tracks mostly are is where the fans are. The majority of Poland are not really interested. This is what they tell me when I try to get them to visit the NSS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doesn’t stop it being a national sport though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what they tell me when I try to get them to visit the NSS. Similar to the likes of Rugby Union and F1 over here I would suggest.. The vast majority of the nation aren't interested but they seem to get top level sponsors, excellent TV deals, and strong viewing numbers.. The Star mentioned a TV deal of £24 million for the top division which suggests more than enough of Poland has an interest to warrant the TV companies outbidding each other to tender that sort of money... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Scrutton 180 Posted January 1, 2021 I know nothing about Polish T/V but I would like to take a guess that they get better coverage on their sports programmes than the sports channels in this country all they think about is Football which is upper cr@p when you think about it football is shown 24/7 no wonder it is popular But what it is 20 men/women running up the field and back again for 90 mins and in most cases gaining nothing, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of coverage dedicated to the sport.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
