There is no left hand side menu. 

 

First thing that comes up is Live and Upcoming events and there's nothing there.

Under this is Cycling and under that is recently ended with GP Qualifying???  It's crap.

At the top it should say all sport, then go to speedway.

Drone action at its best

Still living in the 1950's eh? That is what sport and television is all about these days.

Stop making sense; he doesn't want to believe fact...

Is he your dad or something? Phil Morris rushing about shouting instructions through a headset is nothing to do with modernising the sport - it’s 100% down to feeding his ego.

There's nothing like that if you subscribe through Prime for Discovery plus Sport.  Actually found it in the TV Guide.  I clicked on it and it said I don't have "HIDDEN" channels.

Anyway thanks for trying to help.  It let's me watch it on my PC.

I assume they might be making it more like Rugby, they say it's so the crowd have more interaction with what is going on.

He has already done the ego thing with the quiz shows he has won and the success of his business ventures. Does not need speedway to boost it, it does not pay enough

Because he is the Race Director and has to communicate with others,  when the “others” are not in his immediate vicinity the Mike system helps.

I think he does a good job. He has a voice of authority and others jump when he issues an instruction or info …… ie 2 minute warning, riders move when they here that.
