The White Knight Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Seems that someone from Sky is actually reading our posts. They have shown heat 15 lineups in Berwick - Newcastle meeting on the tv graphics before they started interviews with managers. Great job. The most important info first then some talking. Agreed - much better. :approve: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruiser McHuge Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 poeople are saying that Nigel Pearson knows the feedback yet refuses to moderate his style.....what feedback is this then ?...a few posters on a forum is hardly feedback and forums tend to generally be more negative than positive anyway because people are always more likely to post if they have a gripe...plus the majority of fans don't read or post at all on forums so feedback via forums is largely pointless. Sky will know the real feedback and what they want from commentators and if they felt that it was largely negative and Pearson was not delivering what they wanted then he certainly would not have lasted this long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Knight Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Perhaps, but where does this "real" feedback come from? Probably hand written or e-mail comunications direct to SKY plus, of course they will have their own Surveys as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruiser McHuge Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Perhaps, but where does this "real" feedback come from? TV stations spend fortunes on "real" feedback...they are totally aware of viewers views, ages, likes etc...it is a massive deal so they can promote their advertising to the relevant firms and also the costs of the slot etc....if Pearson was not performing to their liking then they would know the feedback 100% and he would have been replaced long ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReturn Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Fans feedback is irrelevant, it's 'jobs for the boys' in the speedway world, fans are the last people considered, hence why most of us vent on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Why don't we have these extras for the P.L. meetings? They had Chris Louis at his tv with his iPad for the Scunthorpe Vs Workington match, obviously were short on commentators for the Berwick one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Django- You are perfectly right the Berwick match due to its location was an expensive match to broadcast especially as nearly all crew based around London or South. Sam Was also not available as was on the way back from Hungary supporting US in WTC qualifier. It was also felt there was no obvious choices for Northern based guests.

Backless Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 For the love of God - it's a multi BILLION pound organisation & you're banging on about it being "an expensive broadcast". Maybe if Sky need a few quid for diesel, not putting together the most expensive team in cycling or perhaps have avoided buying a racehorse amongst many other vanity projects. Obviously as an ex- Berwick number one, Tatum wouldn't have contemplated lowering his standards to cover Premier League, but as far as "no obvious northern choices" I'm sure there could have been a whip round to buy Gary Havelock a ticket on the Megabus.

screm Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I met Nigel Pearson after last tuesday meeting at Berwick,first of all you couldnt wish to me a nicer person,and secondly its obvious he is a true speedway nut.So to those who critisize I suggest we start looking at Pearson as an asset to speedway coverage on Sky.Its quite obvious that Sky & EuroSport think hes doing a decent enough job,so those who damn the man they are either in the minority or wrong or more than likely both. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Interesting schedule published by Sky for July. July 3rd Birmingham Swindon July 29th Eastbourne Birmingham I know we have the World Cup July 13th - 20th, but presumably other meetings scheduled are yet to be decided. I hope they will show another PL meeting, and there are a few top of the EL table meetings to choose from. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Kev Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Was good to see the hovercam or whatever its called at Perry Barr last night, looks a bit wierd but you get some great shots of the action. Would love to control the thing( presume its remote controlled), would be like having one of them remote controlled helicopters but on a larger scale. Boys toy!!
