mickthemuppet Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 AND to think that not too long ago we wondered whether there would be any speedway on UK TV screens ... just recently Somerset (Friday), Cardiff (Sat), Leicester (Mon), Sweden (Tues) plus reports and Quest showing the SGP highlights show... and that's without internet streaming. What a disaster for Speedway. Every one of those live matches on TV means less and less people will go to see matches at the track. It would be alright if the TV money made up for the lack of spectators but is does not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Cheers Noodles-enjoying watching it-quite an old programme I think.-edit 2006It did look a bit old. I think I saw a very young Kasper Gomolski? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxey63 Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Cheers Noodles-enjoying watching it-quite an old programme I think.-edit 2006 A great documentary, fronted by Warren Pole. Think he also did another on Ice Speedway. This is quite a few years old but well worth a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moxey63 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 When something is given away for free (I know we pay subs etc).. but it is freely available, whether on our TVs or other devices, it lessons the value for the consumer. Speedway being so widely available to watch from the comfort of your armchair is a problem and will determine the desire to attend a live match - even the travelling a few miles may not seem worth the hassle. Speedway being so availbale, and we all cry for more coverage, well, it's like the free newspaper - you don't really give it a value... apart from they are the ones you usually see littered across the carparks and streets. The ones you have to buy are usually taken more care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemuppet Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Surely Speedway is at saturation point with so much live Speedway being shown. Why should anybody bother go to the track. You can watch live peedway every night of the week. All Speedway should be taken off the TV. otherwise in the end the stadiums will become empty. Ever since Live Speedway arrived on TV the attendances have got less every year. Even Poland is now suffering from TV overkkill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Legal or illegal? :shock: Good question-as I didn`t state legal one must assume illegal-however the div 1 match at 1pm on Sunday`s is always available through the official TVP website stream-the following 2 Extraleague matches are a different kettle of fish however-although with no British broadcaster showing them and no legal way of obtaining a Nc+ viewing card and system-I have come to the opinion that by watching I`m not doing anyone out of money(some might think differently) by the way I did buy the Polish play-off stream from Speedway.tv last season.
