I don’t have a problem with any of them although I’d admit kelvin does seem to be making more and more mistakes, I dislike a couple of BSNs presenters more but they don’t detract from the overall product, for me TNT just comes across like an amatuer film crew that have no idea how speedway ticks and they don’t actually want to be there, maybe it’s because BSN actually come from within the sport, most have been through a fence or two and understand how the sport ticks where Tatum and Louis have to put their speedway perspective through someone who has gone through media training and wouldn’t know a speedway bike from a biscuit tin, it happens in all walks of life sadly and in the case of TNT it shows -
Rumour on the Championship threads that they’ll have a rule next year of one rider over 8.00 per team to help spread the number 1’s around. Wonder if we’ll see the same in the Premiership? actually after looking at the green sheets there’s only one team (Belle Vue) that have two riders over 8.00 so it would be a bit pointless. If that rule was brought in then Belle Vue would rightly feel a bit aggrieved and targeted. -
All the focus seems to be on Jenkins when it comes to the rising star “picks” for some reason. Nobody has ever mentioned Leon Flint! Ipswich actually finished fourth, But Sheffield finished first so had the “last pick”, and yet arguably picked up the strongest rising star of them all! Let’s be honest here. Are we to believe that Birmingham, King’s Lynn and Oxford, all made their picks and left the two strongest rising stars on the shelf? The Lynn fans on here and there were a few of them, said that Rob Lyon was very open at one of their end of season’s meetings, that they wanted Jenkins as rising star, or failing that, Flint was also of heavy interest seeing as they were the two strongest rising stars. He was apparently confident of getting one of them as Lynn had one of the first “picks”. They ended up with neither!!

Scott Nichols and Chris Louis do a grand job. Olly Allen passable, but Tatum and that giggly Abi Stephen’s are a joke. -
The ad window is 7 minutes per hour at peak times. Speaking to a Commercial Manager of a Premiership club he said the issue is not only the raw numbers but the demographics. Fans are to old, and to poor to appeal to mainstream brands. The comparison he gave was a netball viewer was 28 years younger and earned £22,000 more per annum than a speedway viewer. This would make the sport a hard sell to free to air channels. BSPL could be faced with decision between a small amount of money per club from a broadcast partner that has the sport "hidden" behind some form of paywall and a free to air deal with no money and where BSPL pick up the production costs but gets the sport to a wider audience. This greater reach could then be used to gain more commercial partners for the clubs as it would appear more to selected national brands. -
