Haza Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 That is the main reason I've not subscribed to PS this season . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 The problem will be that there won`t be a "premier sport"english stream until 10pm and sadly orange sport poland do not appear to be showing live this week-as far as i can see.So unless anyone streams the canal plus swedish programme live 10 o`clock it is.

severnsider Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Maybe they are just trying to avoid a clash with the Somerset vs Ipswich match which is being shown on Sky on Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) Got to admit it's actually good timing in that it now doesn't clash with Sky's Premier broadcast. However, shocking to see if once again a friendly football fixture has pushed the live speedway out of it's slot once more? The next three weeks fixtures after this are currently scheduled to be live. Well unless they hear of a kid's football kickabout in the street lol. As i've said before they've found good income from non-mainstream media broadcasted sports in the UK. Like many i only heard of Premier Sports when due to popular demand they took up the Nascar coverage from Sky. If they are going to persist in trying to become a mini-mini-Sky by grabbing anything remotely labelled a football match then they'll end up going the way of Setanta. Incidentally, i'll still make available a racecard for the fixture. I'm sure quite a few fans record the Swedish Speedway due to it's early start time anyway. I'll check for late team changes on the internet (or anyone who can update here) just before the fixture is due to start, however, i don't want to be aware of the result ahead of the late broadcast so that will be my final check.

Brummie Kev Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Dont mind to be honest, alot of the time I watched it delayed anyway as I work Tuesday evenings. Although this week I am off but theres already Speedway on Sky, so will watch straight after that at 10. Works out quite well. At least Swedish Speedway is back on our screens and good to see Dave is doing such a grand job on Commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HenryW Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Maybe they are just trying to avoid a clash with the Somerset vs Ipswich match which is being shown on Sky on Tuesday I think you might have hit the nail on the head there. It wouldn't make sense to go head to head with Sky coverage of a UK speedway meeting, so they have taken the chance to show something else during the timeslot and then try to grab the speedway fans that are already in front of the TV after the Sky meet.

Sorry but can`t agree at all with that reasoning-1st race 6.15pm on the dot,probably would get to the after heat 10 interval before 7.30pm.it happened last year sadly(for speedway fans ) its the Celtic factor coming into play.

The major point is that you pay for this on a subscription. Sadly no speedway coverage whatsoever here but for the football and rugby channels that i pay for i do pop off e-mails and i do sometimes get responses and we do get better coverage these days.N.Power Final yesterday being an example. In a nice polite e-mail i would express my views. They do occasionally listen and react.You never know. . Best wishes. Alan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
