Neila Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 For a media day to happen someone has to organise the event and get in touch with various organisations to be available. But going by what has or has not happened over winter, it looks like them in charge of British speedway haven't got a clue, so probably won't be a media day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 The media day will have all the riders in their race suits sat on rows of pallets at belle vue and on the end there will be 7 life size cardboard cut outs of riders like Dag Lovas, ove fundin, trond stretting lars munkerdal Glenn Doyle, Das sumner and Edgar stangerland who will be representing Brafield badgers this season only they couldn’t find the Glenn Doyle one so they got a Julie Hartley brewer one hoping nobody would notice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. And the interest wasn't too great to start with sadly... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 I think it would be a backward step to not have a media day and it would probably be beneficial for the other two leagues to do one too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent all the marketing budget buying into Northampton. Is it any wonder no one has heard anything given the numpties who have bought in are the same as those who have historically failed to run speedway in any way shape or form where it could be described as professional run sport. The only saving grace regarding Northampton is that it has kept the forum going but for which what else could have been debated. Oh well I am sure the numpties have it all under control. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanBrannan Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 (edited) On 3/18/2026 at 10:17 AM, LisaColette said: 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! As it stands there will not be an official podcast as such this year, at least certainly for the time being, one of the many victims of no TV deal and funds to support it. Possibly it will change in future. I don't think there are many podcasts in speedway with the reach it had / has, mainly due to the direct access to riders and officials, and whatever happens I'll be forever grateful to Nigel Pearson for helping to get the BSPL to back it, and the further opportunities it has brought me in speedway. For now it's certainly not the end for it, but parked up and we'll see how we go once things settle down. However, we do plan to do something new via BSN once we get going in April so perhaps that might help fill the entertainment void. And personally I'll likely do more with my Humans of Speedway channels as well. With regards Media Days, I see the Rob Lyon has said at the NSSC event there won't be one, I'd firmly believe he knows better than most of the situation there! 😂 Edited March 19 by IanBrannan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me if it's mushroom, otherwise count me in! Thinking about it, it's highly likely to be given the number of mushrooms there are amongst the BSPL 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
