(Taken from ) Premier Sports 4 nights of speedway over next 2 weeks with relegation battle between Dackarna and Västervik next week and then the finals between Piraterna and Indianerna the following. Should be good. Sadly the 1st match has to be delayed until 10pm because of live football but other 3 are live. Edited September 21, 2011 by jeffster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll stick with the Polish stream, even though i don't understand a word since they SOUND as though they know what they are talking about. On a serious note, any speedway coverage is terrific, but it surely wouldn't cost very much to get someone in to sit alongside him to clue him in.He doesn't seem to understand the very concept of team speedway, has no clue about tactical substitutes or even who is who in a race. Shame because it wouldn't take much to rectify. All the best. Alan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could suggest that, Alan - www.premiersports.tv or @premiersportstv on Twitter Personally, I think this year is a learning process and things should improve from 2012. Dave McIntyre (@davemcintyreNT) doesnt actually work for PremierSports, as he is a full time sports journalist on "NewsTalk", an Irish version of Talksport radio in the UK. Dave actually specialises in Gaelic sports, Hurling & Gaelic Football, and had virtually no knowledge of speedway prior to being asked by PremierSports to cover speedway for them. I think Dave has improved quite a lot since the Swedish season started in May. When Dave's NewsTalk commitments preclude him from covering the speedway on a Tuesday (GAA Clubs hold their press conferences on a Tuesday evening) Declan Quigley takes over, and I must admit, I find him hard to listen to (I have made PremierSports aware of this) As the guys are sat in a Dublin TV studio, with no contact with the track where the meeting is being shown live from, I think they do a good and improving job. The fact that the studio is in Dublin obviously doesnt help with getting in someone to provide colour commentary, for example. I can't believe that there are many speedway "experts" living in the Irish Republic, and therefore, they would have to fly someone over from England, which may be prohibitive for them. Personally, to be able to watch Swedish Speedway live on a Tuesday night at home in England on TV without the hassle of finding an internet stream watched on a PC is great, and makes the £7.99 a month subscription cost well worth it, especially as I watch the NRL Rugby League too. However, if one lives overseas, then obviously an internet stream is possibly the only viable option, Alan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a sports journalist maybe he should know that Vojens is in denmark not Norway-probably the nordic title threw him.

jeffster 60 Posted September 21, 2011 As a sports journalist maybe he should know that Vojens is in denmark not Norway-probably the nordic title threw him. Possibly. but with having precious little knowledge of speedway before May this year, I am not surprised he didnt know..... I wonder how many sports journalists from Scandanavia would know that Páirc Uí Chaoimh is a GAA venue in Cork ? What I also find funny is that week after week on twitter you can see people having a pop at the coverage and/or commentary provided by PremierSports on a Tuesday...The same suspects do it every week, but they must be tuning in every week to have a dig ? Yes, PremierSports undoubtedly do not have the resources of Sky, but I am grateful to be able to watch ElitSerien on a Tuesday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, PremierSports undoubtedly do not have the resources of Sky, but I am grateful to be able to watch ElitSerien on a Tuesday Gaelic Athletic Association stadium in the Ballintemple area of Cork in Ireland,[1] where major hurling and Gaelic football matches are played The stadium annually hosts the finals of the Cork senior hurling and senior football championships. It also frequently hosts games in the National Hurling League, National Football League, Munster Hurling Championship and Munster Football Championship. Behind Croke Park, Semple Stadium and the Gaelic Grounds, Páirc Uí Chaoimh has the largest capacity of any Gaelic Games stadium. source Wikipedia. with this i mean that i never heard about that stadium before but it took me just a minute or two of looking that information up. Obviously for an Irishmen who hardly ever have come in contact with it could be difficult to know whether Vojens is in Denmark or Norway but it isn't very hardto look it up, I mean even Alan could manage it.
