I don't think the main presenter is very good at all - I am sure she is a lovely person but most of her presentation is just fluff. Her questions are schoolgirlish at best. Like you say Tatum is no journalist and his research is lacking big-time ... it all smacks of being done on the cheap. Which sums up British Speedway very nicely.
Comparing David Rowe/Sam Ermolenko to Nigel Pearson/Kelvin Tatum is like comparing the Chuckle Brothers to the Two Ronnies. There's only going to be one winner.
On the other side of the coin, I haven't been to a 'live' speedway meeting for some 10 years but I happily paid to watch the stream of the British final.
Hi Tosh1218, sorry only just seen this - I have dozens of speedway books I don't want. You are welcome to them. I will try and list them in the very near future if you are interested. How can I contact you?
