So I was expecting some sort of buffering/freezing in todays stream at Poole. But there really wasn't any! Although I see they are doing it through YT so should run smoothly.

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Can’t understand a word Ablitt said. Was the mic not connected to the main feed. Just background noise. Seems the same issue with every rider. Better for Rob to offer his mic to each rider. Poor sound quality. A shame. Edited March 25, 2022 by Steve Shovlar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were having some issues with the stadium sound system while they were testing just before the start. the mic sound was switching from very loud to quite quiet on repeat. The guy on the sound desk was trying manfully to tweak it manually but eventually settled for the 'quieter' option. One of the best things was the decision that all riders would wear the Ukrainian flag on the left shoulder of their kevlars!! When mentioned by Nigel it got a huge round of applause from those present. Finally although many would expect me to say this - the track looked very very smooth - the best I've seen it for a long time. There was no evidence of any bumps, ruts, holes or waves anywhere on the circuit. Great job by the track team led by 'Terry the Track'.

I'm also quite good at blocking out any background noise I don't want to listen to (I grew up with 2 brothers, so it is kind of necessary!!). So heard the interviews fine.

MMX Events 101 Posted March 26, 2022 On the subject of the Stream… Can I pay a huge tribute to Andy Hague and his brother Paul of Speedway Portal. I can’t begin to tell you of the hours and hours of dedication and commitment from these guys. They have put so much planning, preparation and thought into the project setting the highest goals for quality. They have overcome countless technical obstacles and spent,literally, days on the infrastructure and studio set up. The result is a product that is highly professional and should shine amongst it’s rivals. WELL DONE GUYS. you have an equally committed team alongside you, going forward, and you should ALL be proud heading into Pirates TV’s inaugural season. Wishing you every success, much deserved! 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever replacements they have, they had to be equal. Kyle has been in the Poole team for a few years in the past and Bjarne was with Bowtell at Plymouth last year. I don't see a problem with it. Don't forget he has got the British youngsters there as well. Tbh you are really going to say goodbye to Bjarne more than anything. Considering how much he has given to Poole in the past, he deserves a big crowd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
