I'm not interested in debating to any of your aliases.

No idea why you would send me a private message, delete it and block me.

I only play with adults.

I made my point however.

Feel free to create as many aliases as you want.

I'm so over it.

Im getting more and more concerned about you by the day Brum.

I'm fairly sure both the 2nd legs are being shown, so alternate heats would be the format, a veritable feast of races for tv viewers.

Yes i think the format works well for tv and i think they have improved the time delays so it isnt too bad if your attending the meeting especially as you can watch the other meeting on the big screen.

Turn up the noise of the bikes , get some tips off polish nsport , they really capture the sport like your really there , when they are doing interviews the bikes are revving away behind them , it really gives that live feel , I watched wolves v swindon the other night it was like watching it on an iPhone with no feel of it being live

The reason for this is the coverage cutbacks by BT when on Sky we used to use a full 5.1 sound mix which included having boom mics on the centre green and next to the fence by the start line.

 

BT as on a limited budget just have a smaller mic attached to the camera towers which at some tracks like Wolverhampton,Swindon and Poole are a long way back from the track as they aren't allowed to install them on the greyhound tracks.

 

It is surprising how the acoustics of each stadium is different Wolverhampton and the old BV have always been bad as such open spaces down the back straight, Peterborough is just a nightmare. Closer in tracks like new BV,Poole and Leicester you can keep the bike noise in well.

 

It may be an improvement that can be looked into for next season as wouldn't cost that much extra to do in scheme of tings

even when you watch sky it is nothing compared to NSport , they are on it with every camera , every moment , every sound it really makes you feel part of it , sky and even more BT just makes you feel like they are filming a sports event , I'm not having a go at either sky or BT I'm greatfull they show speedway but I just feel like even on limited budgets they could get a better feel of the live event, watching gorzow v Wroclaw tonight the studio is in the pits and the noise from the bikes behind really makes it live , it gives a real buzz , you don't have to interview someone to know how they feel , the face of the gorzow team manager at the end spoke a million words and woofy's reaction at the end gave you that sense of wow , for me neither Sky or BT capture that but I do understand there is a world of difference between polish and British speedway at the moment Edited by THE DEAN MACHINE

THEY also have about 15 thousand people there which helps

The sound of speedway bikes never comes across good on TV. At Hull, Craven Park when the bikes were revvving at the start under the green light the noise in the main stand had to be heard to be believed and appreciated. Imagine your fav rock or metal band, amps on 11, twin guitars with perfectly sustained crunch through a wall or Marshall speakers and you come close. For a few glorious seconds one's internal organs literally shook; can you tell I'm a rock / metal fan :t::party:. Interesting that local residents never complained about it. Yet on TV, Sky and club videos, the was bike sound was of loud road bikes :neutral: ....

What has that to do with GoSpeed?

Surely someone uploading meetings to Youtube is bad for the trackside video companies?

because I'm sure I read somewhere they had overall say on any British league speedway being shown , remember the thing about people filming and showing meetings on phones , it was around that time ,I think that's why they not shown before

Likely someone just uploaded and it's not been noticed.

Must say that Mr Pearson's problems with getting things wrong seems to be getting worse. Not just stumbling over routine factual detail, but he often doesn't seem able to properly make an assessment of who has the advantage in the first two bends. He will say that rider X has the advantage, when it's clearly rider Y.

I think it's time for BT to look at possible alternative arrangements.

Most likely due to their commentary position.

Most likely due to their commentary position.

A reasonable thought.

But do they not have a screen showing them the pictures we are receiving at home?

 

On Saturday it was obvious something was amiss with that; as has been been confirmed by Philip Rising.

But for a couple of races the 'calling' of positions and judgement was so awry that I thought he was doing the job blindfold.

I assume they watch the track as can get a broader view of incidents, if just watching the monitor could miss a fall etc.
