stevebrum Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Now we have got the GPS on tv I take it people including you are gonna moan about the commentators 1 week ago everyone was moaning cos it looked like that the GPS weren't even gonna be shown get a life or are you a born moaner You just know speedway folk will whine and moan about anything. Personally i am delighted that we get to watch the GP`s and WC , would have rather it stay as it was but i am certainly not gonna grumble because it has moved channel. I would be more than happy to see Nigel and Kelvin carry on as they do a good job at portraying the excitement but doubt it with their tie up to SKY Sports. Hopefully we don't go back to the days of monotone commentary but at this stage it matters not a jot who is doing the commentary. We have GP`s on TV, be happy moaners!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emerald tyke Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) I like Nige and Kelvin, but thats only my opinion Nigel knows his speedway and always does a great job in plugging furture meetings at multiple tracks,and at least promotes the sport!! Its the old scenario that you can't please everyone all of the time, but picture yourself doing the job and how good would you be?? I think they add atmosphere....and are better than TMillard (in my opinion, let me stress!!! before someone attacks me on here ) Lets just relish the thought of Gps back on tv...thats enough for me.

rob tatum Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Absolutely delighted the GPs are on eurosport if marketed correctly I feel this can only be a good thing. It seemed to me that sky didn't give a toss about the GPs sticking it on the red button then complaining about viewing figures. Sat nights with my wife and 3 friends watching the GPs (we are going to cardiff and gothenburg) onwards and upwards. Brilliant !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickyb Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I don't really care if Miss Piggy is the new commentator I'm just glad it's going to be back on, personallyI have no problem with the old commentators. So good luck to whoever does it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TesarRacing Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Why hopefully? They are awful commentators. in your opinion.....not everybody holds that view.....i think that they are perfectly ok, especially Pearson ...let's face it , some speedway races can be pretty dull and its not easy to make them sound half exciting..i cannot think that many would do a better job than Nigel Pearson...in my opinion. That's not my opinion either, if you want my opinion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReturn Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 NO it won't ... same as last year for the first one Steve Johnson and Aussie guy whose name escapes me for a moment. Hopefully messrs Pearson and Tatum will resume from Bydgoszcz Hopefully not Pearson, he was awful three or four seasons ago and remains awful this season. Still, as I won't be paying more money to watch speedway, guess I won't have to put up with him ruining my GP coverage, because I won't have any GP coverage for him to ruin this season then. I am gutted, in this difficult economic times I am not paying more to watch it on top of my existing Sky sports subsription. At least some of you will get to watch it though. ..and are better than TMillard (in my opinion, let me stress!!! before someone attacks me on here But why is it when Millard makes mistakes he is called out, yet Pearson made a fair few SGP clangers, including missing the point when we had a new World Champ last season, and calling the wrong GP winner a couple of seasons prior. I am fairly sure there 'must' be better options, time speedway broadcasters explored some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

remembertheracers Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Right, time to save money. For the odd bit of football I watch and the very poor entertainment of most, but not all, Elite League matches televised last year the expensive Sky Sports can go. We are all potentially better off with Eurosport taking the GP's on. I'm sure we will get some grumbles but most of the Sky team attract a lot of moans on here. Hopefully they will get commentators who both repeat themselves and shout far less. Yes shout when something fantastic happens but far, far less.

Blazeaway Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 It's not, it costs £5. But no extra cost if you already pay for SKY Sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hopefully not Pearson, he was awful three or four seasons ago and remains awful this season. Disagree. He carries the same enthusiasm and passion for the sport. I am sure plenty will agree with you, and plenty with me anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukiedesmo Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 But no extra cost if you already pay for SKY Sports. It is, even if you have the full Sky Sports package you will still need to add the Entertainment Extra package at £5.00 per month to recieve Eurosport.

Skidder1 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 It is, even if you have the full Sky Sports package you will still need to add the Entertainment Extra package at £5.00 per month to recieve Eurosport.

Sorry to be a bit thick, but are you saying we have to pay extra to be able to watch the GP's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 It's not, it costs £5. I cancelled my SKY sports end of last season, but I still get all Eurosport channels so they are free and must be part of the general SKY package.

I think it depends how old your Sky Box is. I used to get Eurosport free but when I moved and bought a new Sky Box had to pay £5 per month to add the Entertainment Extra package. Hopefully £5/month is not going to put anybody off. By the way I'm in the anti Pearson camp, he even messes up darts now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
