Racin Jason 72 Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 The past two years the premiership has had a media day. Is that happening this year as I don’t remember seeing anything about one. with no team announced at Northampton as yet we could have a game of guess who ! get the riders to dress like the stig and unveil them along with their mystery owners and promoters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_minall Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I don't think one will happen this year with how late Northampton are to the party. No announcements as to who is riding for them, no team name, so probably don't even have team suits made yet (if they're even going to have any) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be super to see black leathers and proper racejackets again. 👍🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be like the Masked Singer... Seven riders, and, one by one... "Take it off! Take it off!"... Harry Redknapp and Linda Lusardi as the judges guessing the identities... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a useful resource to be fair. The BSPA used interviews from the press day to pad out the British Speedway Podcast throughout the season for one example. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season has already started and we still don't know anything about the name, colours, management or riders etc... of one of the teams in the sports top division...

I think a lot of interest in the sport overall has been lost now what with the sh*t show that this winter has produced.

Maybe @IanBrannan can clarify? Regarding media day, i watched all the instagram live footage that each team did, even though i dont support any of those teams. It was pretty funny tbf!
