Thanks- they have posted that within the last 20 mins.

Good on you Rosie- we shall see if we both get answers. Yours will be from customer services and will probably not answer the points raised as a previous posters quoted reply showed( couldn’t even spell his own companies name correctly). Mine i will be really dissapointed if i don’t get a sensible answer as i wrote to a London based senior Discovery director responsible for their complete sports output.

Yes definitely- all riders can take a ride. .

I have just sent this email to a top Eurosport executive Dear sir, Eurosport have the rights to the European speedway championships which are the 3rd most important speedway events on the calendar( 4 rounds) The series is promoted by a Polish company Onesport ltd and i think the contract was done by Eurosport Poland. The first round was scheduled for last Saturday- live on Eurosport Poland but was unfortunately rained off and re-scheduled for this Wednesday June 16th again live on Eurosport Poland. As far as British viewers Saturday was scheduled to be shown on the Eurosport player because of other live sport on the main channels. This Wednesday it is again scheduled for the player despite there being no live sport on Eurosport 1 or 2. There are a lot of angry British speedway fans like myself extremely disappointed with your scheduling decision. Tomorrow's meeting starts at 6pm UK time at Bydgoszcz one of the great race tracks of the world and has 2 British riders competing. Please will you consider to make the sensible decision to show the meeting on one of your main channels.

Likely to ride in Gorzow today is exciting Polish junior Oskar Paluch who has just turned 15 and will be debuting i`m sure in the DMPJ rounds over the next few months. Gorzow fans will be delighted when he turns 16 on June 7th 2022. Oskar is the son of current Poznan coach and ex Gorzow star Piotr.

I would suggest you reply and ask why they are not showing it on their main channels when they have nothing live on at the time on either channel and there are 2 British riders in the meeting.

Me through SKY and presumably Virgin is the same

Live updates from todays 3 rounds- all UK times Group 1 from Lublin from 3.30pm https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/117051/i-runda-dmpj-w-lublinie Group 3 from Gniezno from 5pm https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/117067/i-runda-dmpj-w-gnieznie Group 4 from Gorzow, from 3pm https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/117075/i-runda-dmpj-w-gorzowie

I have sort of given up with them - this is an email i sent in July 2019 to them. PLEASE PASS THIS EMAIL TO THE EUROSPORT UK PROGRAMME SCHEDULE CONTROLLER Dear sirs, Eurosport this year are showing the 3rd and 4th most important world speedway competitions namely 1/ speedway European championships(SEC) 4 rounds 2/ World U21 championships 3 rounds. The Promoters are a Polish company(Onesport) so maybe the contract was agreed and signed by Eurosport Poland. the 1st round of the World U21 competition was held on Saturday June 22nd- it was shown live on Eurosport Poland and i believe on Eurosport player here in the UK. The 1st showing on TV was an hour highlights on Tuesday morning 25th, and the programme started at heat 19 out of 23 races !!!! The 1st final of the SEC competition is next Saturday July 13th from Gustrow Germany. The meeting starts at 1900 local time(1800 here in the UK) with once again Eurosport Poland showing the whole match live. Eurosport UK goes live at 19.45 for 75 mins which undoubtedly will mean British viewers will join the action at about race 17 of a 22 race programme !!! Speedway fans like myself get frustrated at missing races, and myself and others would far prefer you showing the whole meeting on "delayed live" ie show next Saturday`s whole meeting for 3 hours from 19.45, if you cannot programme the meeting live because of other sport on the 2 channels. We can keep away from checking scores until transmission starts. you are sending 2 commentators to the tracks for the 7 rounds so i would think you would like to get the maximum viewing figures you can get.

Krosno v Gdansk Monday 14th June https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAZxPxmC9dU

Decent match.

Then they are an absolute disgrace- don`t they realise there are 2 brits in it I suggest as many people register their displeasure on https://www.facebook.com/EurosportUK/?brand_redir=20245299744 This is my Facebook post I think it`s bordering on disgraceful that you are only showing the re-arranged Speedway Euro Championships on Wednesday from Bydgoszcz- one of the best tracks in the world on player only. There are 2 British riders in the field and nothing live at that time on the main channels.

Teams confirmed in Krosno Krosno v Gdansk Krosno 9 Musielak 10 Szczepaniak 11 Wojdylo 12 Milik 13 Lebedevs 14 B Curzytek 15 Rydlewski 16 Janik Gdansk 1 Jensen 2 Pieszczek 3 Jamrog 4 Gruchalski 5 Kulakov 6 Szczotka 7 Gryszpinski 8 Fienhage

Novel idea from Div 2 and Motowizja that fans get to vote which match should be shown on TV on Saturday 3rd July- it`s between Opole v Rawicz or Rzeszow v Wittstock - hope the decision is Rawicz as i never want to watch Wittstock away with the side they have at the moment !!

No sooner had i wrote the above Yesterday`s postponed Lublin v Gorzow is now next Sunday June 20th start time 6.15pm UK time. N Sport and Premier Sport 2 ONCE AGAIN THE EXTRALEAGUE HAVE STUCK 2 FINGERS UP TO THE E WINNER TV PROGRAMME !!!!
