Media day


Recommended Posts

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

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)

Great!!!

It would be super to see black leathers and proper racejackets again. 👍🙂

What an opportunity....

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...

;)

There is a team name, they will have race suits and the wheels are in motion.

With no TV deal whats the point of a media day

It's to help the teams, press agencies, the BSPA etc get content they can use in their social media posts. 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.

Oooh, those press agencies

An important part of season planning for a professional sport as set out by Dave

However as is seen through this winter it seems that others want to reset the sport to the level of a village fete.....

You’ll find out soon enough, ;)

Would love to know what your definition of "soon enough" is...?

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...

Absolutely crazy...

I don't think the official British speedway podcast will be running this year

I stopped listening to it midway through last year. It was actually very good and very well put together, I just lost interest in it to be honest.

That’s understandable. 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.

Really? 

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!
