Reliant Robin

I sense you're easily angered? Sky hold the TV & Online rights to British Speedway in the UK as I understand, so it would be that contract that prevents the showing of races on a website, not GSI's.

They were used successfully at Birmingham for meeting on 16th September

If you're actively seeking 'hard objective facts', why not try asking the insurance company responsible for covering Speedway injuries if they have any info that they are able to share. Just because you cannot 'find' proof does not mean that the proof is not there.

Of course the weather is one of Speedway's biggest enemies, and had the contract been up at the end of 2012 then I'd agree. But in 2013 only one televised meeting has been lost to the weather where the covers were down and in place but there was no sign of a break in the rain

Off the top of my head I'd go with decent viewing figures, flexibility to show a Live meeting to fit Sky's schedule (we've had Mon/Tues & Wednesday's this season), relatively cheap (apparently) compared to other sports for a channel that claims to be 'the home of Live Sport', and finally, to prevent BT Sport getting their hands on it.

This would suggest not - http://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/2892/gollob-update

Care to share a name or Club that this relates to? Twitter is yet another good promotional tool if used in the correct way, unfortunately there are always those who type quicker than they can think!

Both meetings will be postponed if either of the above face weather problems? Do they move on to the next Sunday in that case?

The full video of last weeks meeting is still on there, in the 'Live' section. I wondered it myself, but it seems all On Demand & Live action will appear in the Live section

He said it as a possibility if Swindon are not on Sky - they're certainly not choosing to not be on Sky

But the odds will be in favour of this meeting being the one where Poole claim their Playoff place

It was put out on Twitter that Dave Rowe will be providing the commentary r&r

Just subscribed, know the quality will be good as I've watched one from them before. £19.99 for the month, 7 meetings and watch them as many times as I want, doesn't seem too shabby

They were on there earlier, maybe some maintenance going on at the moment or something similar, but they were the prices showing earlier in the evening

I've seen the prices on there - think they're in the About Portal section. £3.99 for the one meeting on 1/9 then £5.99 each time there are two meetings

A good news day. Watched a stream on there whilst in Cyprus a few weeks back, quality was perfect. Look forward to seeing what gets served up from Poland.

Scunthorpe v Workington is on at the end of April. A good bit of variety to the coverage, good also to see recognition given to Berwick's efforts and Sky getting to a new venue in terms of their coverage.

Probably the same live Sports that were shown through the summer months last year meaning that the SGP's ended up on Sky Sports 4 or the red button. Hoping it's Eurosport, I'm sure it'll all unfold in its own time

Add Tues 2nd April - Wolverhampton v Belle Vue

Agree with the rest of your post

I have no story to change BWitcher

You are bang on - snippets have been used in the News/Editorial story taken from the same interview. This report was not put together by Ian Wadley of the Sports dept, the fuller version was.

I'm claiming nothing of the sort. There are no comments that I have a particular like or dislike for in either item, genuine or otherwise. I was responding to the statement that: "Matt Ford seems to be taking a hell of a risk giving such a long interview/press release to the same puveyor of untruths today. You'd think he would know better" What I am saying is that Matt Ford gave his long interview to the Sports Dept, not the News/Editorial department that have used the Middlo quotes.

It's not rubbish at all. I'm certainly not condoning what Middlo is 'claimed' to have said, I am merely pointing out that Middlo's comments have been put in by the Editorial/News dept. Totally seperate to Ian Wadley of the Sport department to whom Matt Ford has given his comments. At the bottom of the 'News' story it states 'More reaction from Matt Ford in Echo Sport.'

Matt Ford's interview is with the Sports Dept - the initial story came via the Editorial/News department. As they deal with the Sports Dept journalists daily I'd imagine the trust is there to give a longer interview.
