Let's go for a service that can't be relied on to show matches reliably in a regular time slot and often delays coverage until late at night, often cutting out heats and whose basic presentation leaves a hell of a lot to be desired. It's also a station that rarely actually covers the meetings themselves, relying on taking the World Feed from BSI when they showed the Grand Prixs and simply took a feed from CMore when they showed Swedish speedway. The only speedway they've covered themselves has been the OneSport SEC and Pairs events. Yes, let's go from quality to third-rate and unreliable..... When I read that I immediately thought of the Coventry Bees promotion over the last few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 The most important thing is that British Speedway remains on tv and the clubs really need this to keep their commercial partners happy. As it turns out on this occasion there is no need to worry about production 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacrificing quality but still having it on a pay TV channel and one that has shown scant regard for speedway even after it has agreed a deal to show it is not progress. In the UK BT's highest viewing figures reach above 1.5 million, for football of course and that is a high, not an average. However Eurosport's best is around 1 million, and that is for the whole of Europe. It may be cheaper but despite its Olympic deals and significant financial backing (Discovery) after nearly 30 years it's still very much a minority service. I do wonder if those wanting speedway on Eurosport are those who already have it as part of their Sky package but won't pay extra for BT..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 As long as the gp are shown...then I'm happy with that..not worried about team speedway being shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is for me, part of the problem, they try to "big it up" when, sometimes it is only mediocre, wish the coverage could be like other motosport where you can choose to hear the stadium noise, (bikes and crowd) but NOT the commentary.
