Trevor Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 I see Premier Sports TV have got the rights to both Swedish and Polish leagues. With Tuesdays showing a Swedish match followed by a Polish match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaboy279 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Great news and at 1 quid for first 2 month great value too. (Think it's 11.99 a month after but you have no contract and can cancel with 30 days notice.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teaboy279 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Which is handy for me as wife signed a new contract till October (I wanted to go over to bt tv when the coverage switched) so paying 27 quid for bt sports is softened by getting the polish and Swedish so cheaply. Not to mention nascar and BRISCA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention nascar and BRISCAYou can cancel Sky Sports ate any time with 30 days notice even if you're within your contracted period. Do that and you can switch to BT Sport then if that's your preference. Your contract is for the base package, everything else is just a rolling 30 day contract.

Al Stewart Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I got a deal from Virgin Media to add Premier Sports for effectively £3 per month for 12 months. They said I got such favourable treatment because I also have Sky Sports. As a Premiership Football watcher as well, that is no hardship.

topaz325 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'll just stick with by sports and watch gps and British speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I know I'm in the minority and this will sound bonkers but I prefer watching our leagues anyway, the Swedish and Polish teams mean nothing to me and neither do the riders. If they don't ride here I'm not bothered about watching them in league racing. Love the gps but that's individual so don't mind watching that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Well I watch the Polish Extraleague live on N Sports and as a complete neutral I watch for the whole event, not just the racing. Theres lots that British speedway could learn from the way the Polish league is run. If a meeting says it starts at 1.45 pm, the riders are at the tapes for heat 1 at 1.45 pm. Every time. In the UK riders shuffle out within 5 minutes of 7.30 pm, then faff around kicking the start line, then practice starts etc and the first race is at 7.47. Or 7.53. Or theres a delay as an old man in the crowd has tied the doctor up. Everything in Poland is gear for the max. Crowds, music, mic man, advertising, start girls wriggling and blowing kisses to the camera. Well worth watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) I just love watching speedway at all levels and wherever. I prefer team racing but I don't set up artificial barriers to stop my enjoyment. When I hear peopple talking about not wanting to watch because they consider the riders not good enough or the meetings not 'meaningful' enoughI do feel a certain sadness. Why not just watch and enjoy the racing? You do get the feeling that some only love seeing their own team win and actually don't really enjoy the sport itself.

teaboy279 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 I always struggle with polish speedway streams as without understanding the commentary it's harder for me to follow. Having English commentary hopefully will make it more engaging. I don't have a team in Sweden or Poland but cheer on which ever team the odd token brit pops up in.

charleval Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 If you received the email regarding speedway, with 2 months for £1. Do not subscribe online as you will pay the full premium. I subscribed yesterday and after filling all forms, which one asked for promotion code (the email does not show one) i submitted it. I phoned Premier Sports Support desk this morning to make sure about the 2 months at £1. They have now reduced my first three payments. Also I forwarded the email to them. They replied that they were sorry and that they confirmed that the code was missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 I watched it on Tuesday and it was really good, OKish racing is the Swedish league but a truly exciting close match with excellent racing in the Polish match ( with a 1 point away win ) In fact an orgy of speedway racing!

Trevor Posted May 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Brilliant deal, four hours of Speedway, per week, for £25 per year. I signed up today, they said if I didn't cancel at the end of the year, it would be £60 next year, which still isn't bad.
