The White Knight Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I know I don't like the GP System - but - I'm glad it is going to be shown live in the UK. I am looking forward to it. :approve: .............. aren't I a hypocrite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 FURROW Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Does this mean we wont have to put up with screamin` Pearson in the GP`s now (I hope) The obvious answer is don't watch you are like one or two more you would have been whinging even more if it weren't on tv and 10 days ago it looked likely that's what was gonna happen i say bring on Nigel & Kelvin and roll on 3am Saturday morning no doubt you will be sound asleep not wanting to listen to them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Does this mean we wont have to put up with screamin` Pearson in the GP`s now (I hope) Going by what I've read elsewhere and I think Phil mentioned on another thread, Steve Johnson and a guy I've not heard of will be doing the NZ GP. There is a chance Nigel and Kelvin will be taking up commentary for the others, depending on permission and availability. Personally I hope they do.

ballinger Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 As has been stated elsewhere Wade Aunger and Steve Johnston will be providing the world feed commentary for the NZ SGP. As I understand it who provides it from Bydgoszcz onwards is still being worked on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just grateful that the GP's are and have been available on TV. There's not that many commentators in any sport that I especially like, but then I always have the option to press the Mute button should I wish - haven't done that yet mind.

I pay good money along with others to watch a `professional` programme,having a commentator who screams all the time doesnt do it? Why would I want to get up at 3am when I can record it? ps notice the full stops? Edited March 18, 2013 by gary moore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Boy Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Enjoyed the Eurosport coverage of the GP, in fact I thought it was far better than Sky. Liked the Wade Aunger / Steve Johnson commentary and none of those tedious cut backs to the studio for comments by Keith Huewen, who even after a few years of presenting speedway still seems to know less than the average speedway fan. Nigel Pearson was okay on Sky, but I was a bit fed up of his OTT yelling and screaming during racing and the constant repetition of the same facts or latest piece of gossip. Good straight forward presentation from Eurosport. Good job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good straight forward presentation from Eurosport. Good job. It had nothing to do with Eurosport. They simply buy the world feed exactly as SKY have done in the past. The Heuwen studio bit was SKYs own input, Eurosport simply let the feed run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
