With only 6 teams there will quite a bit of repeating of seeing the same teams. Matches involving Wolves are likely to be included because they are one of the stronger teams this season.

Exactly , and Belle Vue v Wolves is an ideal TV match…I’ll be there but if I wasn’t I would look forward to that one on TV 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fullmax 79 Posted July 6, 2021 6 hours ago, Phil The Ace said: another poor production from eurosport i felt, im just not getting it this year Without doubt its easily the worst coverage of British Speedway we've ever had. You'd like to think each new Channel would be an improvement on what went before. Sky and then BT Sport perfectly adequate . Eurosport though its abysmal . Nothing good about it . Pretty obvious the Production team have never attended a Speedway meeting before. How many cameras do they have at a meeting ? Would help if they were looking at the right place at the right time. Graphics laughable ! Kelvin Tatum Pundit ! What's that all about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,853 Posted July 7, 2021 for me, there are to many cameras, this is a sport where 1 camera can see all the action, that whats unique about our sport. all thats needed is 3 cameras at most, they spend to much time changing cameras means were missing action on the track, 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know the feeling Phillip, as I said to my 5th wife Bella just last night, I'm just not getting it. She quickly headed for the wardrobe, where I was expecting her to don that little short number I bought her off lovehoney.com last Christmas but instead when she opened the door, there were Main Man Rogers and Jimmy Lynch hiding, no wonder I haven't been getting it, those two old fools have been servicing her, whilst me and Christopher Mills have been grafting away at T Tibbs Motors Europe Limited HQ in Chingford! Thank you, goodnight, much love! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number777 6 Posted July 7, 2021 To be honest I've really enjoyed the Eurosport coverage this year. Speedway will never be exactly "TV friendly" with all the delays and a rulebook no one understands but it;s been great entertainment, Having a correspondent at the other meetings to give updates has also been a positive for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheffield can use their stadium on a monday and have done so many times in the past, although crowds for a monday are never the same as a Thursday. So if the match was to be run on a monday in front of cameras the crowd would be exceptionally poor, hence running on a normal night, with what will still be a reduced crowd as is always the case in front of the cameras.
