  1. The other meeting is basically 1 camera with an uplink. They don’t have the multiple cameras and infrastructure to just switch to show that meeting in full, and nor will they ever because of the sheer cost of doing that. And the director and all the production staff / trucks are at the main meeting. Plus who decides a meeting is boring, probably not Leicester fans tonight.
  2. Yes all BSN Series Semi Finals will be on BSN (funnily enough) plus of course the final, and included in the Championship subscriptions Scunthorpe V Glasgow Fri 12th Poole v Redcar Weds 17th Glasgow v Scunthorpe Fri 19th Redcar V Poole Sat 20th
  3. Who would you have swapped him for though at that point in the meeting? Easy to say Cook now, but Zach Cook scored 1 in his first ride, Morris had 0 in heat 5, Bowtell did ok with 2 seconds, but otherwise Proctor was on paid 2 from 1 ride. Sedgy was already in the heat, and nobody was embarrassed in those heats they were all pretty close / competitive.
  4. The old app no longer works, BSN has a new website which if you go on the web page options on your phone and choose “Add to Home Screen” you will get a little BSN tile appear as with other apps, and the website will magically become an app
  5. Hi usually these are sorted automatically but if you’d like to double check your particular situation email support@exstreammedia.co.uk and they’ll be able to sort it out either way for you.
  6. Have you got any links to petrol stations with free pumps, broadcast equipment suppliers with free cameras, free professional grade data uplink systems too? Unlike Polish streams (which are not streams they are re shares of Canal+ etc) BSN is a small business as are the other small British club streams. You don’t pay for them we can’t do it, simple.
  7. Tom was called up for an FIME meeting in the Czech Republic for GB on the Saturday, it was rained off so he thought it was cancelled. They moved it to today at 9:30am, so he had to go after all and if he didn’t would get an international ban from the FIM. It certainly wasn’t picking and choosing, FIM meeting take priority over everything.
  8. To me this seems fair enough, and I’d say good that they are looking at alternative uses for the stadium, rather than looking at shutting it down. I guess if you were applying for a license you would want it to cover as much as possible so you have the option. Speedway doesn’t run for almost half the year, or even every single Wednesday in the season. So if someone wanted to hire the place out you’d look a bit daft saying, ah yeah you can’t have your event on a Wednesday because we don’t have a license. Stadiums need to have regular use to make them viable, 15 or 20 speedway fixtures a year is barely 3 weeks of the stadiums year, and I think this is a positive sign of interest in keeping it going in a way that accommodates speedway rather than the other way around.
  9. They have, but they also didn't take part in the British Championships. By the same token you can say that Zmarzlik would have won the Peter Craven meeting, but he didn't, cos he wasn't there
  10. 1 - Dan Bewley, 2 - Tom Brennan, 3 - Craig Cook, 4- Danny King Robert Lambert didn't take part in the British Championships.
  11. It was just part of my routine checks as my ears were burning Thanks for your kind words about BSN and the podcast which I'm just currently making now..! (Stewart Dickson the main guest for you Leicester fans out there) I'll try brush up on my Triumph knowledge for next time..! Cheers!
  12. Woah hang on..! A) I was at the back of the stand with no information of the model of bike, and B, I did say they’re were not necessarily Harleys, so many apologies!
  13. He's literally done 12 laps of Monmore, as track reserve in a testimonial.. Nicholls is not riding Premiership this year so it's a non starter anyway, but blimey. After the meeting Rory Schlein and Steve Worrall spent a good half hour on track with Zach Cook showing him the way round, so I'd give him another match yet, maybe 2..
  14. All of the Premiership fixtures are listed on the website as you will be able to get updates from every match. We were never doing Wolves v KL as a broadcast, we’re doing Wolves v Belle Vue the week after on Easter Monday though.
  15. Here’s a podcast which came out today talking to Steve about his meeting. Should answer most questions, and also a chat about his career etc too. https://pod.fo/e/16cd9e
  16. Heat No 2, Joe Vs Dan. Joe’s second ride he will be partnered by Emil. Not a bad way to start really..!
  17. If when you’re on the new website, go to the web page options on your phone and you can choose “Add To Home Screen”. If you do that, it turns the page into an app basically and you can then use the site as you would an app.
  18. Hi, I’m not involved with deciding fixtures etc and so far the plan for matches to be shown is in the process of being confirmed with the clubs. Hopefully news of where we’re heading in the opening weeks of the season will be published as soon as we have it. Out of interest, did you have any particular meetings in mind?!
  19. Yes they were completely cancelled so Newcastle never happened in 2022 as far as the stats go. Anyone who didn't ride for another team, such as George Congreve for example are effectively new starters this year. That's how he can go to Mildenhall in the NL on 4.5.
  20. From this past season, Speedway food of note for me would be: Plymouth Polish BBQ sausage, slightly bizarre that you get a massive sausage and a slice of bread but it felt authentic..! Oxford’s Brioche Cheeseburger, probably on balance the best burger in the championship but not the cheapest. Glasgow’s Kebab Pie though was a glorious thing. Absolutely true story that I found myself in the company of the CEO of Gregg’s and I used this innovation as small talk. She was very taken by it and last I heard it was being discussed at a Gregg’s board meeting. So if they ever come up with similar you know where it started. The fish & chips in Berwick though in the town are phenomenal, the pies in the ground also superb. There you have it..!
  21. An amazing coincidence, but I’ve just released a podcast chatting to Adam Roynon all about his speedway life..! https://pod.fo/e/15e4d2
  22. I’m guessing (and that’s all it is) their championship average will be converted somehow but I don’t know the formula for that.
  23. Yes this is new for the 2023 season
  24. Here’s some clarification, the rules are as follows. Max of 1 commonwealth rider permitted per team. New riders with British family / ancestry come in on 4.50, those without British connections and coming over for a first season will be on 9.00. George has British grandparents and therefore qualifies for 4.50, he is classed as a new rider this year as all records of Newcastle Diamonds were expunged meaning his rides for Newcastle in 2022 don’t count towards anything. (As is the case for every other Newcastle rider last year)
