Nz Grandprix Live On Sky ?


Recommended Posts

As previously posted it is now officially confirmed that we will be showing the New Zealand GP live at 4am and at present it is planned to be in HD as well i just hope that lots of Speedway fans can get up and watch it live to justify the large expense of doing it live as would have been a lot cheaper to do a time delayed broadcast. Thank you to Mr Rising for clarifying Brandos role he is a huge integral part of Skys UK coverage and BSI on Gp scene without him to programmes would not flow as well as they do he is very good at his job but so good to see he always puts speedway first often turning down more lucrative work on football,darts and rugby to do speedway coverage a true pro

Tell you what, I'll show my "appreciation" like I usually do: by direct debit each month.

 

What do you want? A medal?

 

Oh my God! It's in HD! That'll be because it's on Sky Sports HD, is it? For which HD subscribers pay more. Very good of Sky to provide WHAT THEY'RE BEING PAID FOR.

 

Holy Mother! It's on live!we better all get out of bed and show our support by wearing Sky Sports nightwear!

Let's not bother trying to make it out like Sky Sports are "going the extra mile": through the night they're currently broadcasting live New Zealand v South Africa cricket - I haven't noticed Britain becoming a nocturnal nation this week as everyone grabs a kip during the day so they're fresh as daisy for the first ball every night.

 

It's already mentioned that it's being shown live in Australia,so it's not as if the infrastructure isn't going to be in place.

 

Thanks Sky, take all the praise you deserve. For providing what you're being paid for.

Since the pub I go to to watch the GPs is not open at 4 am, and I would not get up to watch it at that time anyway, does any body have a sport schedule which shows the repeats and if so what time are they on. I have looked at the Sky broadcast schedule on the internet for the Speedway GP but it only shows one week ahead. Hopefully the repeat will be shown Sat night at about 7.

Nah, stay up and watch it live. I need some (online) company while watching the GP to keep me awake. ;)

 

All the best

I will completely oppose the critiscism by Backless and thank Flagrag for your post. Your posts are appreciated by some.

 

Rico :rolleyes:

 

Oh well, golly gee, I'll just have to learn to live with that.

 

Criticism? Not really.

Rejection of the ra-ra, let's all be grateful to Sky? Yes.

Inaccurate? That's one thing you couldn't find, up to and including the LIVE coverage tonight 0:55 - 9:00 of the 3rd One Day International between New Zealand and South Africa - in HD.

 

So, not exactly cutting edge technology, breaking new ground.

at least the ones getting up to watch it live wont be cold with their anoraks on ;)

 

I'll be lounging on the sofa in me fleece pjs for this!!! :D cup of tea in hand or maybe a can of 'M' :drink: Must admit really looking forward to my 1st fix of speedway in 2012 on 31 march, albeit on tv but thats a pitfall of not living in a speedway nation here in Irish rep...unless I hear a good weather forecast and make it over to Shane Parker meet at Sheffield on the 18th :lol: .. the inaugural gp from NZ hope its a success for BSI and the competition in general.

As it is on my birthday and no doubt I will only just be in through the door, I will stay up and watch this. (with a few more beers).

Don't forget that the GP is on at 4am in the morning, so it will be the start of your birthday, not the end. The GP will be on Friday night/Sat morning.
