The biggest problem i can foresee for British Speedway are the weekly E Winner Monday night fixtures - there will be only one winner(no pun intended) there !!

I think the relationship with N Sport and Eleven must be good. They both rely on Speedway for a lot of their content(especially N sport who have the E winner league as well) so i presume just grin and bear it until some sort of normality resumes.

One has to bear in mind that without spectators postponements are not inconveniencing them at present. One also has to remember that with Polish crowds being allowed in from Saturday May 15 th(25%of capacity) some of the postponements are “ tactical”. When fans are allowed to attend there will be far less postponements.

Subscription channels. What has rattled your cage ?

I think Dan Bewley will be in Pardubice.
