racers and royals Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 This tuesday 9th July Premier sports are showing a Celtic friendly in Germany live at 6pm and the Swedish speedway match Vargarna v Hammarby is on "delayed live "at 8.30 pm. thank you Premier-as soon as a crappy football match comes up Speedway gets jocked off.

G the Bee Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Frankly I don't blame them. They only have one channel. Why should speedway (a minority sport) get preference over football (friendly or not)? I bet their viewing figures for the football will be better than they would have been for the speedway. What's the problem anyway? Just Sky+ it and watch it later 'as live'. That's what I'll do. Edited July 7, 2013 by G the Bee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the viewing figures for the Celtic match will top the speedway figures by a considerable amount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all Celtic have a large fan base from all over the UK , secondly Premier is an Irish based channel so showing a live football match featuring a team with a massive Irish following live is a no brainer is it not ? after all its all about viewing numbers is'n it ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) I was dreading the 'friendly' football fixtures but didn't realize they were scheduled to start so early. Who did they play in May was that an end of season friendly! lol. Oh well! not being one who is in the habit of Tweeting that aspect doesn't bother me, but i will miss the live input from members on here. I note that Celtic are due to play on another Tuesday - 23rd July - in a Champions League Qualifying tie home to Cliftonville. The BBC 2 Scotland and BBC 2 Northern Ireland stations are showing the first leg, let's hope they've got the rights for the second leg too. I think Premier Sports once showed a Rangers European qualifying match in the past? Edited July 8, 2013 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hiow right you are. Maybe if they renew the contract next season they will not sell it as " every match live " and change it to "live unless we can find something else to put on instead " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandonbee48 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 There is a 6pm live stream available for Tuesday's meeting. We need to thank Racers and Royals for arranging this ( don't ask ). Anyone who wants a link PM me. and i'll forward when i get up in the morning 5 hours behind most of you. In deference to Premier subscribers who have to wait until the end of the footy, i think we should just sit back and enjoy and not give the score away. Regards. Alan.

As far as i'm concerned chat away by all means. I wouldn't expect someone to be prevented from doing so during a live meeting with events to be discussed as they happen. If someone doesn't want to know the score ahead of watching it on TV then duhhhh! don't go to a thread about the meeting Not sure why someone who has to watch delayed coverage would visit the thread, it's not as if they can discuss unfolding events live. Otherwise where do we draw the line? do we not talk about a Grand Prix until those in other countries, who don't get to watch it until a highlights package a week later, have seen it?.

mikec Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 All 2 of us are on the Swedish thread my friend It's not quantity, quality that counts! Was thinking, the Vargarna track seems quite British to me - smallish with quite tight turns. Trying to figure where it reminds me of - a slightly larger version of Lakeside maybe??

Trying to figure where it reminds me of - a slightly larger version of Lakeside maybe?? It's a shame Ghostwalker isn't with us tonight, but it is certainly much smaller than most Swedish tracks. "Tight, technical" as Kelvin says ( over and over ) Glad you could join (all 3 of us) and , with one to go, i hope our Premier subscribers enjoy. Elite tomorrow. Take care my friend. Got to cut the grass as soon as it's over. Alan . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
