PHILIPRISING Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 not quite as bias as sky thenSteve Brandon's name not mention in bt production team . Or is still just going to do gp as he did before NOT doing the SGPs ... just the domestic stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheese Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Sam Ermolenko ??? You are having a giraffe! He is the worst commentator of all time!! To be fair, if it's a dull meeting his commentary adds some comedy value 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solrac Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I think Pearson & Tatum do it pretty well and add a lot to the on track action between them. Natalie certainly does know her stuff.The only current presenter I feel is not quite up to it is Scott Nicholls who is often "lost for words' and very repetitive. The only worthwhile addition might be to add Sam Ermelenko to the BT team. Ermolenko is horrendous! Good rider but nothing short of embarrassing as a broadcaster.

SteveLyric2 Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Doesn't matter who they have in the pits really as most riders say the same old stuff no matter what questions are asked or by whom!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILIPRISING Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 EXPECT less interviews during the meeting, more analysis at the end, time permitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyeHouseExile Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I have never paid for Sky and will certainly not pay for BT.I have not had phone or broadband from either of them and never will.If all you out there stopped paying them every sport would be on free to air terrestrial channels i.e BBC,ITV,Channel 4 or 5.The former 2 can certainly ensure that televised Speedway meetings would not be shown in the region of at least the home team so no effect on the gate.It is all you out there paying Murdoch and BT who are keeping sport off free to air channels.One of my other sport interests is Horse racing,now confined to rubbish coverage by ITV (The pictures of the Grand National were awful and I cannot stand the guy who covers the betting ).So keep paying chaps and keep the sport away from wide,free coverage including lower leagues who could do with the money.

Further,I cannot stand how he reports odds on prices,drives me barmy ! Oh for the days of Peter O'Sullivan,Julian Wilson,Jimmy Lindley and Richard Pitman.So smooth and professional.I could even cope with John Francombe and the much missed Lord Oaksey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly times move on mate, not always for the better.Then you have the lovely Leslie Graham who knew her horses and was also a very nice person. Francome was fine knew his horses but was/is a terrible pundit and tipster.. Ali down was also very good, knew his handicaps well. Matt Chapman is Matt chapman, he has been told to tone things down of which he has done, i dont think he's trying to emulate big mac. But you cannot have it all ways, at least we have terrestrial racing. At least we got shot of tania stevenson. But we could do with getting shot of that infuriating Victoria pendlton, on the plus side we have the gorgeous Lucy verasamy, who doesn't pretend to know racing.. Yep the biggest loss of the lot is the great Peter O sullivan wonderful comentator in his day.. Then those immortal words of julian Wilson, as they cross the melling road with two to jump its back to Peter O Sullivan..

Bunce Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 If all you out there stopped paying them every sport would be on free to air terrestrial channels Sadly I think you are living in dreamland there. The idea is lovely, but it will never happen. Sport is all about money these days, and whoever pays the biggest fee, gets the coverage. I hate paying as much as the next man, but this is the way it is now. We all have choices, you can keep your Freeview, a bigger load of rubbish I have yet to see. Free Sat is slightly better but if you want a huge choice of channels (and Speedway) on TV then sorry you have to pay for it either via Sky, BT or others. I can't see Speedway ever being free on a mainstream TV channel, so you may have a long wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to name a few. Over this past month I have watched: Two Moto GP's with all the practice sessions available too (which I recorded and skipped through as required) Live speedway (Pairs) Five Live football matches Live snooker The Masters Golf live - in small sessions and then the full last four hours. Now, I'm not sure how much money it would have cost me in travel and admission costs to see these events in person, but I do know my subscriptions are a fraction of what ever it would be and the quality of the TV coverage was (is) far superior to that on terrestrial channels. There is no doubt that the arrival of Sky upped the anti in terms of TV coverage and now with so much live sport coverage being available I would never want to go back to the days of pre recorded sport and limited choice of events.
