mdmc82 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Says on twitter swc site that if rained off again then Aus go through to Final without turn of a wheel. Bit of a sham if both Australia & Czech are through to final without riding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 JUST spoken to Tony Olsson in Czestochowa. Rain has stopped but too late to save meeting today. Should be all right tomorrow. If not, as stated Australia will go to final, Russia and Poland to r/o. Â No actually decision from Eurosport as yet but seems unlikely they will be able to show whole meeting live but will download whole meeting away.

Phil Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Looks like eurosport will show full meeting now at 3.30. Volleyball moved :-) Â 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â There would be no chance of it shown on Eurosport 1 as they've got the Tour De France and then Women's European Championship football. Â Going on a tv mag if their listings are still correct, i don't see why it couldn't be fitted on to Eurosport 2 unless they are worried about the speedway over-running. They are supposed to prefer live sports. Â Original schedule for that channel at speedway start time: Â 14:00-15:30 Moto GP highlights. 15:30-16:00 Speedway World Cup highlights 16:00:1900 LIVE Volleyball action from the 2013 Universiade in Kazan, Russia. Â With respect to Volleyball fans and whatever the tournament is (obviously University sport) surely speedway possibly running a little into it isn't too much to ask? The earlier section is only a highlights programme and time that was already allotted to speedway. The speedway realy should be broadcast live in view of the above.

pandorum Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Looks like eurosport will show full meeting now at 3.30. Volleyball moved :-) Â Now this is interesting. All those who worship at the 'Eurosport is better than SKY' altar should remember that SKY once waited for 4 hours or more for a waterlogged Polish track to be deemed fit that same evening filling in with discussion from it's knowledgable panel and old speedway clips. Also several times SKY has rescheduled for live coverage of rained off meetings in SWC the next day. Â Eurosport would rather show 'volleyball'......... a sport I for one don't even know what it actually is other than it obviously has a 'ball' Â Of course 2 hours late is better than not at all but it shows perfectly why SKY was much better than the amateurishly run speedway show Eurosport peddle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendpostie Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 With the weather forecast for the Uk set fair, I really don't think it matters if they broadcast it or not, I shall be outside enjoying the sun. And if honest I think ladies beach volleyball would be much more appealing to most blokes anyway ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Looking at the Sky Guide to confirm the tv magazine listings it's Moto GP highlights which follow on instantly from the LIVE Moto GP coverage that is pushing back the speedway to not being live. Unless, of course the speedway has since been put back to a 3:30pm UK start time??? However, i've just checked again and, as i mentioned when i reported that the meeting was off, it's still down as 2pm UK start time. Â Eurosport, according to the Sky Guide ARE pushing back their live coverage of the Volleyball. It's now only receiving one hour broadcast time instead of the original three hours. Â Clearly Eurosport are scared to upset Moto GP fans and so leave their schedule intact, live coverage and immediate highlights to follow!. The latter overlapping what would be live sport - speedway - on our screens. Â I agree totally delayed coverage is better than none at all, especially as it looked like we were not to get any on the eve of the season.

Â Â Nothing to do with volleyball coverage that is on after the speedway at 6 pm. The speedway immediately follows many hours of the live Moto GP on Eurosport 2 and the other Eurosport 1 channel has live Tour de France cycling all afternoon. I believe Eurosport have fitted this coverage in well on Sunday. I shall record it anyway and watch it later in the evening so the time it is on matters not.

racers and royals Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 At 2pm Eurosport 2 are not showings Highlights of motoGP-it is their full coverage of the race for 90 mins hence speedway only available from 3.30 pm BBC have live coverage of the motoGP`s but eurosport do major on it as well.

Â Confirmed on Eurosport planner. If you have set your sky plus box to record series it might not pick up the revised time. Good idea to check if you are not around to watch it live.
