RobMcCaffery Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 What the hell is going on. Programme should have started at 18.00. Then this was pushed back to 18.25 which then moved on to 18.35. It's now come up as starting at 18.45. They are just showing crashes of some inferior motor bike sport It's because the main Eurosport service is showing an over-running tennis match. The British version is just padding-out until both can go to the speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 So long as they hold back the start of the speedway until the tennis ends is in one way very good. Although i was under the initial impression it was a tie-breaker in the tennis, oucheeeee if it isn't. Alan i'm guessing it's not your Danish favourite in the tennis lol.

Looks like Eurosport have enough clout to delay the Torun meeting until they're ready to show it. This could be a taster for the European Championship. Bear in mind these events are run very differently to the GPs and by a rival to BSI so it seems Eurosport can dictate things to their own convenience.

racers and royals Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Not to mention the fact that the speedway hasn't actually started, so there is no rush for them to leave the tennis match... Probably because Eurosport are calling the shots as when it can start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, surely it is the other way around. They are not starting the Speedway UNTIL the Tennis is over. Eurosport are headline-sponsors of the Pairs, after all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Lol got to admit the 'false starts' clips being shown are very good. HEAT1. Holder, Watt, Lindback, Jonsson Australians are better left out of the tape and did not return to finish running.

iris123 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Now 5-4 in the tennis.Guess they know this will be finished soon and have started the presentation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemuppet Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 If Eurosport are the main sponsors of the Men's doubles final why can we not see it instead of seeing fill in programmes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Nope, that's not it because the meeting has now started In that case it would have started at 6... Looks like they've just decided it's too long to keep the crowd waiting. British Eurosport is now showing general filler material, waiting to join the main service. This shows how Eurosport is a very, very different animal to Sky with its various services all needing to wait for each other sometimes. For example parts of Europe get live Premiership football on Eurosport. It's quite a complex set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
