bigcatdiary Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 BT have Darren Fletcher in their " stable" who could slot in to the coverage with ease. As absolute class act and loves speedway to boot. Certainly the best presenter Peterborough have ever had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hans fan Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 As absolute class act and loves speedway to boot. Certainly the best presenter Peterborough have ever had. by far the best I've seen/ heard , out of all the things the frosts brought to the showground he was by far the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieIpswich Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Just to add another note 18 meetings 1 x british final 4 x play off semis 2 x play off finals 2 x promotion/ relegation play off Leaves 9 league meetings but maybe the cup finals and riders championships will be televised? So maybe no league meetings at all, would this work well for speedway having the "major events" broadcast only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 CookieIpswich- Is that a confirmed list of meetings ? I am quite surprised that they would show both the relegation/promotion meetings and also that would show both sets of semifinals. I thought they may have just chosen the one to broadcast. So far it's all looking good and I await for the confirmation of who the commentators will be I am expecting Kelvin and an other with Natalie doing the presentation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 The play off semis are usually on the same night so that'll count as one surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemuppet Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 If you are a promoter why would you like your home matches shown live on BT TV if you do not get any money from BT' Surely you will be committing financial suicide with reduced crowds and no TV money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray c Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 The meetings covered on SKY in 2016 were of an excellent quality as far as the racing goes.yes the racing excellent presentation seemed to falter don't you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieIpswich Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm speculating on my last post I would imagine the total amount of league meetings would be very few once you add some of those meetings in. As someone else touched on May be showing the bigger meetings such as the play offs may reflect better on tv to others watching even tho it can be achieved without in reality Mick - looks like very few meetings will be shown live so the odd meeting broadcast won't bankrupt a promotion, flip side is they can use it to their benefit but thats far too sensible for some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 yes the racing excellent presentation seemed to falter don't you think I'm personally a fan of the Nige and Kelvin presentation team. I'd rather over excitement than dead pan vanilla presentation. What we have seen is that when none speedway people come into presenting the sport they simply haven't a clue and what's the presentation ridiculous. I'd rather a safe speedway knowledgeable pair of hands than anything else. Personally I think there was a lot of good reason for the shouty duo to get overexcited about last year! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 It`s obvious what BT are going to show 1 British final 2 legs play-off final 2 nights play-off semi`s 13 regular season matches. cup finals, promotion/relegation meetings are non-events and will not be televised.

Shadders Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 He knows plenty and has commentated on the World Cup previously, very well indeed. I think it was Darren Fletcher that did the in house commentary at the British GP 2 or 3 years ago with Jan Staechman. I thought he came over very well.

Starman2006 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Do you need the Sky Sports package to get BT Sports or can you ditch Sky Sports and just get BT Sports? No you either need a dish or a BT box, you can get it through a BT box but again you will get charged. Give BT a ring..
