brandonbee48 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 During the intermission there were a grand total of ZERO paid ads so the money men will be looking at the audience figures,demographics and focus groups to decide how much should be spent to enhance the production. Sadly these days we are very much a minority sport Let's hope they can attract more advertisers and viewers. even with an inane commentary. Doubt Mrs Fireside viewer cares much about the pronunciation one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandorum Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I wouldn't go that far, I hear many footballers names mispronounced too. Not like these two and certainly not on the BBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 On the positive side, interesting break down of the various things a rider can do to their bike from Sam there.. better than the usual "They'll make some changes" that we usually get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchesterpaul Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Good to see the speedway giving us reason to comment again, very nice racing in heat 13, pity any early casual sports viewers will have drifted away earlier in the meeting. However, we got a whole season of likely very good racing and hopefully the word will get around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to admit he does have occasional good insights into aspects of racing and bike alterations etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I'd pay good money to hear Sam commentate on Bosnia -v- Iran, or Russia -v- South Korea! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveLyric2 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 ...and there I was beginning to believe that all speedway apart from the British EL was brilliant. By the way can somebody tell Matt Ford how to get Loktaev in in place of Dennis Andersson if the opportunity arises in the future. If the commentators can do it then surely promoters can too!!

pandorum Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I agree with everything you guys say there it has been a hugely entertaining match just listening to them Also some good speedway. Especially that last heat I'd pay good money to hear Sam commentate on Bosnia -v- Iran, or Russia -v- South Korea! This is comedy gold !! I don't want the commentators changed. Ever. I think its brilliant. Edited May 6, 2014 by pandorum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Sam is gonna get him straight with his pronunciation ...LOL So glad I tuned now. On a side not, it's not a bad meeting either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchesterpaul Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Jack "Patryk Dudek came out like an express train" Sam "oh no no no it was the guy in red" Sam "yeah eh it was Patryk Dudek".......(yep Dudek was in Red too lol) Pre Re-Run Jack refers to Loktaev who is on the start line. Sam "eh well Aleksandr emmm is is in this race right now isn't it emm (long pause) i think it's Dennis Andersen on his own isn't it?" Jack corrects him as Sam stutters and mumbles they then disagree on which heat it is........Sam cajoles Jack into now agreeing it's Andersen........they both refer to that man Dennis Andrsen during the heat until it dawns on Jack it IS Lokataev and Sam mumbles an apology. Sam goes to refer to "Anders And errrr"... during the race recap. Deja Vu as earlier in the meeting we had Sam doing similar.... ......Sam firmly interrupting and correcting Jack that "Woodward isn't in this one it's Antonio Lindback"!!! The whole world and his dog has known Lindback is injured, does he just pick up his paycheck and do ZERO research ahead of a meeting?
