SteveLyric2 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 It makes you appreciate how good the Sky presentation is by comparison!! Apart from the 'behind the scenes' stuff, the racing in the heats was very processional most of the time, even though the semis and finals did have some decent racing. I bet someone from Russia will win the series!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backless Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Given Motors TV history of broadcasting just about anything they're given, I wouldn't compare it to, we'll, any other broadcaster - apart from maybe an open access community facility.

cowboy cookie returns? Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Eurosport do a fine job with the winter sports which I have watched for the last 5 winters if they take the gp that would be great. As for EL speedway who in there right mind would take it. Elite League Speedway must be the only sport to have had Skys involvement for over 10 years & got worse!!

So you like your Winter Sports...so very happy for you.. That footballing PL is much worse than in previous years - a very weak Man U team is winning everything in sight and many supporters of 'the beautiful game' have lost interest I would like to see the EL remain on Sky, if you don't want to watch it - then don't...

If you mean the standard has got lower then its difficult to argue. However if you mean entertainment wise then I don't agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 So you like your Winter Sports...so very happy for you..

Interesting post. A very 'weak' Man Utd team, I'm no fan of them, but to call them very 'weak' seems to suggest you lack much footballing knowledge. As for 'many supporters' losing interest.. an assumption totally lacking in any form of statistical backing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for EL speedway who in there right mind would take it. Elite League Speedway must be the only sport to have had Skys involvement for over 10 years & got worse!! I have to agree with you unfortunately,that the EL is a pale shadow of what it used to be,and it might seem quite unlikely to many that SKY will renew the contract year Eurosport cover a lot of sports extremely well,Im sure theGPs wouldn't be any different, personally I'd be glad to see the end of the studio guests,its mostly the same talk every week,maybe have Keith Huewen,Pearson and possibly Tatum in a studio for commentry.The league could see the two latter and that's it for all I care The biggest plus for most would be the ability to ditch SKY Sports totally as Eurosport is on the £26.50 package Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCookie Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 When I tried to watch eurosport yesterday it said I needed the entertainment package, sure that's only a fiver extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Sky's basic entertainment package is £21.50 per Month. Expensive if you're just after Eurosport. Edited March 10, 2013 by screamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Sky's basic entertainment package is £21.50 per Month. Expensive if you're just after Eurosport. The Basic Entertainment package is £21.50. The Entertainment Extra package is £26.50. Thats £5 a month for speedway rather than £42.50 for Sky Sports. And if you're already paying £42.50 for Sky Sports, you get Entertainment Extra (with British Eurosport) for an extra £5.

SteveLyric2 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) you still have to pay for SkySports for another 7 8 months if you still want the EL as well!!! Edited March 10, 2013 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iris123 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I wonder if the NZ GP will be the only one shown live,as 3 in the morning is the normal slot time for speedway on Eurosport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemuppet Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I would be very surprised if the Grand Prix's are not shown live. If it is not live, Eurosport are not going to pay very much for it. Surely if they are going to the trouble of showing the NZ GP live in the middle of the night then they will be showing the other GP's live. With 4 nights out of 6 for the World cup it would not be very interesting if not shown live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen7 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 The British Eurosport website has just published it's schedule for the 23th March, and no mention of Speedway. I do realise that they can and do change their schedules at a moments notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewrunagall Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Speedway on Eurosport (not British Eurosport) is nothing new, as I recorded a few late night shows on British Eurosport 2 which had adverts for the Speedway World Cup last year where they said that they showing it in the middle of the afternoon on Eurosport (again, no British Eurosport, but the advert was in English), I checked the listings, but there was no Speedway on British Eurosport at all. Maybe Sky's stranglehold on Speedway being shown in the UK could be over, it was good seeing some events like the Telford Ice Speedway Meeting and Garry Stead's Benefit meeting shown on MotorsTV a few years back, and it was so disappointing that thanks to Sky, the ELRC was broadcast over the internet everywhere but the UK. Besides, here's a big clue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
