Grand Central Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) That might explain the Friday night BSPA meeting that Mick Horton said was about bigger issues than just Coventry. A swap from Sky to BT for those of us who get BT free at the moment appears great.. No need to get Sky Sports re-connected next month, so quite a saving. But I fear just what sort of reduced deal BT may have been able to drive with the BSPA. That may not be so great.

Phil The Ace Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I heard the same last week by someone who is usually very reliable. But then they put the British final on a Monday which would only be to accommodate sky. He did say they were in talks with bt sport though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Brilliant for me if true. Been struggling to justify the excessive cost of Sky lately but was keeping it for the speedway but if it's only on BT Sport I'll watch BT Sport for free (well a £30 BT TV connection fee) with my BT broadband. Id say it's bad for the sport being on a TV channel with less subscribers but the sport is fecked anyway, just a matter of whne not if its going to kill its self.

colin wood Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 They will probably put it on BT sport 2 which you have to pay extra for same as champions league football.Cheaper than sky though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Just heard sky has pulled the plug on speedway but BT sport are meant to be taking over Oh dear! This looks to be the start of a mainstream lack of interest in speedway. For TV coverage, they don't come any bigger than SKY. I expect there will soon be a reference to this happening on the SGB BSPA website. Very sad but worrying news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the missus were just discussing the other day about getting rid of Sky as it is too expensive. If BT do take over then that maybe the cue to say..... bye bye Sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueherb777 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Never subscribed to SKY and never will. Do not blame you. What I do not like is you cannot pick which Channels you like,but have to have a package which has c**p Channels you will never watch ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I'm not surprised by this if true. Buster has said he was looking into what hold GoSpeed has over British Speedway. Maybe this is partly to do with the BSPA disbanding of GoSpeed?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner85 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I was told last year that BT were interested in league Speedway. It looks like it's coming sooner than expected. Hopefully BT are paying more than SKY screwed us down to. Personally , I don't have Sky so not bothered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Last year I was with Sky (£49pm) but not Sky Sport. I was also with Plusnet for tel/b-band (£27pm), paid an extra £10pm (monthly contract) for access to BT Sport to get the speedway GP's (and also Moto GP).... so that was £86pm !!!!!! Thats a lot of money..... too much. End of Jan'17 I quit Sky (now watch Freesat thro the Sky box with the same Sky card in-not as many channels [no Eurosport]) Mid May my Plusnet contract ends, so free to get Tel/B-Band/TV package and I was thinking going to BT. Anyone with any dealings with BT ie customer service, content of TV package etc.??????? BT had some deals recently where BT Sport was free until July'17 - anyone know how much it would be after that (presumably a normal price)?????? What makes making a new contract even better is that up till now my b/band speed has been 1.2mb/s but from Openreach website my postcode shows I am up not only fibre b/band but high speed b/band. Not interested in fantastically high sppeds as I dont download films (and it comes at a price) but after 1.2 for the last 6 years anything in double figures would do me....20mb/s would be nice Edited February 28, 2017 by OveFundinFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Oh dear. Can cancel Sky Sports now if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
