racers and royals Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Following on from last week’s debacle over the SON 2 non TV coverage, Richard Coleman of Mayfield Sports has issued a statement which appears in this week’s Speedway Star, out today. There is also a section on the Social media outrage over the meeting. Would he have said anything if a reporter hadn’t contacted him ? Doubtful in my opinion. So thousands of Speedway fans worldwide won’t be able to watch the FIM flagship junior Speedway finals, which we are used to seeing. 3 SGP 2 and the SGP 3 final in 3 weeks. The SGP 3 final in recent years has produced some superb Speedway from the youngsters on their 250cc bikes. If Coleman knew last year that the SON 2 meeting would not be filmed by Mayfield Sports it’s a shame he didn’t have the balls to tell anyone !! I think of the streaming we have currently- BSN, Sweden and Denmark 4 live matches per week and of course Poland where many meetings are on TV, or streamed. One such meeting is this afternoon - the Bronze Helmet produced for the live showing on the Motowizja channel by Sabmar TV. Even the FIM have a streaming channel along with their partner Tapes up TV. So where does that leave the FIM ? I suspect angry and disappointed. There is i would hope time for the powers that be to sort something out for the SGP 2 finals coverage as the 1st final is not until the 10th July. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
