The TV fixtures do seem to be a well kept secret - although I'm guessing they will decide as they go depending on the potential for each fixture as the season develops, e.g. do they focus on teams in the top six challenging for a play-off place.

I guessed it was likely that Sheffield v Ipswich would be on Eurosport, as soon as the fixtures were published (it was Sheffield's only Monday home match at the time). Any reason for the secrecy?

Teromaafan 586 Posted June 28, 2022 Without his side kick, I think that Tatum has upped is game in his role on Eurosport (Nige would be proud!). Both Chris Louis and Scotty are well respected and come across well in their Grand Prix roles. I just feel that the Monday night Premiership coverage lacks professionalism. Sam looks anything but comfortable and makes me squirm when stating the obvious. Abi as a presenter is bubbly and enthusiastic but not unfortunately as good as her predecessors Natalie or Charlie. Just my observations and wondered what others think? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just my observations and wondered what others think? Mostly agree! Kelv has stepped up well and is doing a very good job as lead presenter. Chris and Scotty complement him nicvely. I'm ok with Abi, although is maybe not as good as Nat or Charlie, but they were big shoes to fill. Sam is definitely the weak link, when you bear in mind he has been doing this presenting for a year or two now and before that co-commentator for some of the Swedish matches(?) he really isn't up to the job. Presenting takes a certain skill, credit to Sam for giving it a go, but there must be better options out there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iainb 4,962 Posted June 29, 2022 Personally I'd like to see Sam fronting the show... on his own for the whole 2-2 and a half hours, or pair him up with Rosco, the dream team! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agree Tatum with Louis / Nicholls a decent line up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noelinho 918 Posted July 11, 2022 Chris Louis commentating with Nicholls on the screen would work very well. Sam needs to go. He adds nothing. Natalie was fanastic but Abi does a very good job too. They’re very different presenters. Natalie is a lot more serious in her approach, Abi’s cheekier. I’ve got room for both. I love Abi’s interviews with the riders, and she knows her stuff.

chrismorton 332 Posted July 11, 2022 What a load of crap..hardly any meetings and the ones they pick are terrible fixtures to watch. Who wants to watch Lynn get spanked every week.?...whoever is making decisions on speedway for Eurosport should be sacked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same number of meetings that BT Sport showed, which means there's 11 league meetings over a 20ish week period from May to early September.
