weatherwatcher Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Even worse than last years only showing speedway once every 2 weeks instead of a weekly slot. So it may be that they are only going to show it now once a month. It is time now for another broadcaster to step in and take over the reigns. Hopefully with a broadcaster that is comited as Sky seems to have put the sport on the back burner we could get back to seeing a lot better coverage than we are getting from Sky. It needs someone that would give a good exposure of the sport and can't see why they can't have EL one night and PL another night. Or is that asking for to much. How do Sky stand with holding the veiwing rights, would they hand over the rights if someone else stepped in.

mickthemuppet Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 With the billions of pounds that Sky have had to pay extra for football there will be even less to pay for Speedway. It will eventually disappear from from their channels. That is unless they get it for free. Then more people will have to go to the tracks if they want to see Speedway. Will be a good thing when this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will eventually disappear from from their channels. That is unless they get it for free. Then more people will have to go to the tracks if they want to see Speedway. Will be a good thing when this happen. With the amount they're paying for football they're going to have to put there prices up so much for the Sky Sports package that anyone not interest in football is going to see it as poor(er) value for money and not bother. I could never justify sky Sports in the past just for the speedway so God knows how many people will feel the same when they stick an extra tenner on the price to cover the new football deal soon.

mike1944 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Perhaps they are putting fewer meetings on earlier in the year when they are more susceptable to rain-offs and will show more in the summer months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 It may just be like last season when they announced certain meetings and added others nearer the date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Two meetings announced and one team appearing in both of them - a sign of things to come (or could one say continue from earlier years)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxey63 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) SKY had better watch it... they piss off speedway fans... and we will withdraw our vast support and shut them down. Full stop. We closed all those tracks, didn't we? When we withdrew our support... Imagine the power we'd wield, especially if those freeloaders who scrounge off the internet... actually paid their subs... .

flagrag Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Don't worry there is plans to add at least one more meeting in to the opening few weeks, As far as I know it's just waiting on clubs to check stadium and rider availability. As others have said there is also some concern about the early weeks of the season with the weather hopefully there will be more meetings later in the year for the race to the Playoffs. The scheduling is not helped by the GP as there is a few weeks ruled out altogether as they have back to back GPs its been agreed not to run during these weeks and obviously lose a couple of weeks with WTC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfiemorris Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Wi'll just have to hope Eurosport picks up some more meetings? Don't think I'll be paying another tenner on top of lasts year Sky Sport prices for less meetings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1944 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I wondr if Eurosport will be televising the Swedish speedway again this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
500cc Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Two meetings announced and one team appearing in both of them - a sign of things to come (or could one say continue from earlier years)? And of those may be called off as Poole suggested the start of the season be put back !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I'll be paying another tenner on top of lasts year Sky Sport prices for less meetings! Eurosport only show the feed generated by someone else. So basically can't show a meeting unless someone else films it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Change of first Sky fixture on 31st March. Now Kings Lynn v Lakeside, not KL v Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Common sense prevails with Poole visiting the previous Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
