kelvin Tatum has confirmed in this week`s star that he will be working for BT sport on the Premiership coverage, however no word yet about Nigel Pearson`s involvement.

Best rider in the world at his age Maksym Drabik

You are well out of order and deserve another ban !!! Roman is highly respected in Polish Speedway circles- where as you know nothing !!! my post 176 has already given details of the matches Eleven are covering from the Nice polska league this season. Do you honestly think Sportowefakty made it up ????

Don`t think that`s quite right Henry, the Polish extraleague contract as I understand it requires the riders priority over all other league commitments.

What`s the betting that they have signed- If he doedn`t ride for Gorzow in their 1st meeting- they haven`t. if he does ride then they will have signed- I know which one I would put money on !!!!

It`s not only Aussies that are involved- take NKI rides Poland, Sweden and home league. Therefore not available for the UK. his Danish and Swedish teams would have had to sign for his release in fixture clash.

Sportowefakty are reporting that the mayor of Prague is threatening to pull the plug on giving money to BSI to fund the Czech GP in 2018. 2017 could be the swansong for Prague.

My opinion-that`s why I put probably- it would have been much harder to get BT interested if those 4 didn`t ride and of course they wouldn`t have been replaced by anyone riding Polish Extraleague(non-Polish)

Everyone saying that the promoters should have stood upto Poland this winter, then if they had done the following riders would not be riding in the Premiership this season(probably no TV coverage as well) C Holder F Lindgren J Doyle M Fricke and Possibly J Thorssell There is no way that any of the top 4 listed would have choosen Britain over Poland

None now

It`s been announced that Polsat are also showing Polish U21 final( MIMP) Polish league pairs ( MPPK) Golden helmet( Zloty Kask)

Which GP are you not going to watch this season ?? 12 this year

Don't forget the orginal one in Bristol !!

You can mock all you want TV fixtures announced on Tuesday- I posted Wednesday with my comment about Pila/ Gdansk Friday Sportowefakty write an article stating Pila are unhappy not being on and saying Gdansk are on 5 times I rest my case !!!!!!!

It was good but Kanal sport lost the contract before the 2016 season- some matches were shown on Danish Tv last season but getting a stream was nearly impossible- however a kind chap used to put them up on you tube which i listed in the video thread on the international section.

Article on Sportowefakty today that Pila are unhappy that they have been overlooked for live TV in the first 5 rounds(they must have read my post ) I did not post the bad weather reserve TV matches - Pila are the reserve fixture in all 5 weeks. They do not lose out financially as all TV fees are split between the 8 teams.

Great edition today- big feature on the 1990 all conquering Reading Racers.

1st of 4 polish team international matches scheduled in 2017- TVP really upset at losing these in addition to the Nice Polska league matches

Sky sports is an extra package so you can cancel sky sports and keep the basic package and add BT sport.

It`s obvious what BT are going to show 1 British final 2 legs play-off final 2 nights play-off semi`s 13 regular season matches. cup finals, promotion/relegation meetings are non-events and will not be televised.
