Well done that rider in red :rolleyes: And well done to the two semi-final winners in ......erm red , and the previous dozen or so winners in red . What a farce .

Gollob, Crump, Andersen & Bjerre all managed to win from other gates, Paulco, but it does seem a trifle sus that only one gate was working real good.

Even though i had the option of the red button i am a bit gutted i didnt get the chance to fiddle with Whites button :cry:

Me too , she was lovely . Although she looked a wee bit like that burd that sang " Saturday Night " . But the bookie never got off scott free as , after spending all afternoon down the bowling club , i went to get a chinky for me and Mrs Paulco . As i was waiting i ran down to Corals and put a fiver on Lord Theo in the 5.10 at Newmarket - and it won at 10/1 :approve: happy days .

If Tennis is on the red button no problem but if its the speedway I am stuffed as I am at a wedding until 10 pm and like to watch it on the fast forward over an hour when I get home.

 

 

Who gives a toss over some dour Scot with a personailty of a sweaty sock anyway? :unsure:

 

Edit. Yep its on the rd button from 8PM. Disaster. How many people actually care about some obscure Canadian tennis tournament? Sky have acalled this wrong. there are more speedway fans than tennis, and whilst Wimbledon is big news, this tennis isn't.

 

If you are not on Sky Plus you have had it.

 

 

Just shows what Sky REALLY think of speedway imo?

Went down the pub to watch it after the Arsenal game, as the landlord had recorded it, to find he was fast forwarding it at breakneck speed to try to catch up. So we saw from heat 5 til 16 at warp speed without hardly a chance to see who had scored what :rolleyes: . Then it cut to Tennis as advertised, the red button option wasn't available, gutted. So came home to see both semi-finals and final on the Polish website on the pc.

 

 

 

Should of stayed at home and seen it on that instead. :angry:

Meeting improved as the track settled, and great to see the mighty Glob on top form. :approve: Just a shame the championship seems done and dusted already.

 

Can totally understand peoples' frustrations about the switch to the red button. Would've been seething if we'd been out and recorded it, as hadn't seen this thread prior to the meeting and wouldn't have known a thing about the change. Guess from Sky's point of view, in addition to the commercial considerations people have already posted, there are probably also far more lucrative advertising revenues available from bigger companies for tennis than speedway. A no-brainer for the number crunchers making the decisions sadly.
