PhilTheAce 498 Posted October 25, 2022 Kings lynn did NOT have any home matches on TV. Twice calling it off. One of them proper dubious. I assume they won’t get any TV money??? Certainly hope they don’t 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,637 Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) I believe all Prem clubs get an equal share of the Eurosport TV dosh plus an extra broadcast fee to the home side for each 'live' meeting covered. Less the cut that BSPL take for their central account!! Edited October 27, 2022 by Skidder1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you confusing the UK TV deal with a Polish one? I got the impression that Eurosport picked up speedway on the cheap i.e. Eurosport cover their broadcasting expenses and the BSPZzzz were to make do with just getting the continued TV exposure, after SkySports and BT had had enough. I don't recall hearing any talk of the deal involving money going back into the sport, other than at the top level where Eurosport's parent company, Discovery got into bed with the SGP series.

I don't recall hearing any talk of the deal involving money going back into the sport, other than at the top level where Eurosport's parent company, Discovery got into bed with the SGP series. £500k over 5 years is peanuts compared to what Poland get, it only equates to £100k per season and Bartosz gets more than that for signing his contract My memory evades me but someone pulled the plug on British Speedway a season early it could have been BT Sport or someone else but there was one season when either Eurosport or BT Sport picked up the coverage on a deal where they simply covered broadcasting costs and no money exchanged hands But the 5 year deal did include a monetary amount with £100k being the figure talked about shared between clubs due to loss of gate money when they have meetings televised Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And was that talk just amongst fans or did it emanate from official publications? I appreciate it's what you hear being talked about but you also hear that the Earth if flat and that Donald Trump had his election result stolen from him.
