Mark Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I'd say it's extremely difficult in terms of a speedway race. You're right it isn't great but at least we're getting 30 heats , mustn't grumble... I agree. Must not grumble with 30 heats on TV. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Better this coverage, with a few small problems, than no coverage at all, which speedway is facing if BT decides it's not worth it. I enjoy it greatly and hope that it does continue next year. And / Or that the BSPA embrace some kind of Pay Per View for other matches ( for which I believe there is a viable market for away fans especially ).

Trees Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Why aren't they showing Wednesday's meeting? 😕Is there no red button anymore or is it only Sky channels that can use this facility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Trees- Yes BT sport do have a Red button option but that is already in use for the Champions League football as they have around 8 matches to show on Wednesday. Â I would have a guess that BT will be sending at least one camera crew to the meeting so they have some footage for Monday and if Natalie is there she will do an interview with the winning manager and captain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simonh Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Would be useful if they could add up, consistently using the match score rather than the aggregate score in the Swindon v Poole meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DEAN MACHINE Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) BT dont capture the live event feel , the were times last night when there was no background noise at all, you wouldnt know there was a crowd there if they didnt show them, you can make a poor meeting captive viewing if you can capture the atmosphere, I kept thinking of the saying last night ,I guess you had to be there Edited September 26, 2017 by THE DEAN MACHINE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray c Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 a double meeting by bt looked like it is done on the cheap . why did we not have a commentary team at the abbey :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Thought Pearson did a good job last night. Considering they had to commentate on 2 meetings, they should both be commended. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Pearson getting the score difference wrong after heat 11 at Blunsdon and trying to 'big up' the importance of the last 2 heats when most were perfectly aware the match was already deservedly won by Swindon. Â Still he did manage to get at least 2 mentions of Woffy in even though as usual they were totally unrelated to the live action!!! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Â Good commentators and presenters, but poor director with his choice of camera close ups rather than racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Cant believe, in this day and age that the second leg of the PO is no going out live. Surely someone will post it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midland Red Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Thought Pearson did a good job last night. Was that before or after his stint at Blunsdon? If you call that a good job, when he repeatedly gets the score, and the potential outcome of an important meeting, wrong . . . . .  I know it's not an easy job, but he's had years of practice and there can be no excuse for last night's performance  Along with Hans Andersen, he should be on a warning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Some people need to chill - it was live telly and they were commentating on two meetings and people make mistakes.

If it spoils your viewing that much - turn the sound off! Amazing how people defend basic stuff like him failing to get the scores right. Surely people are right to expect that very basic of things from a so called professional commentator? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
