And then you find bt can't be bothered to show it surely they could have found a slot

 

 

Champions League next Wednesday, all their channels full with that

 

BT sport are silly that they can't put the champions league on the red button on one channel. I'm sure it could go on BT Sport 1 with score updates on the red button. What ridiculous excuse!!

A wasted 60 mile round trip based on favourable weather predictions on the forum...

Lesson to learn, check yourself next time. :nono:

How is that fair..first time I've been annoyed at BT sport's coverage..bit of a farce now.

How is it BT's fault ? Its down to busy schedules at the end of the season.

Champions League versus Speedway, no contest in terms of where BT will be I'm afraid. It is a sickener though.

Anyone thinking that BT Sport would shift a Champions League match to the red button in order to accommodate speedway wants their bumps reading.

 

So, we have a situation where the logical, allocated and highly televisable reserved date can't be used because one of the teams has scheduled a cup tie that night when they've had all season and still over a month of season to stage it, even allowing for the final.

 

Then the restaging is switched to a night when BT Sport are showing blanket coverage of their biggest financial commitment they have, by a huge margin.

 

In a destructive and incompetent season that was lifted only by the sport being on best behaviour for BT (reasonably complete teams, no walk-outs) when it comes to the final hurdle it all falls apart.

 

I'd love to hear the conversation between Go Speed/BSPA and BT Sport over them shifting a CL match to make for speedway unnecessarily scheduled for one of their peak nights of the year.

 

I think I know the second word, "off".

Meeting was only rained off an hour ago, give them time as a solution may be found. The money BT paid for the Champs League says it must get preference. But only two English sides play so we might get lucky. No one's fault as we can't control the weather.

Some context to this, on Friday Wolves are scheduled to be at Somerset for the 2nd leg of the Cup SF. Lindgren and Thorsell will be at GP practice. Schlein, Greaves, Masters and Riss will be at Edinburgh for the Play off SF.

Let's hope Kyle Howarth turns up!

Let's hope the fans turn up

We earned the right to have first choice by finishing 2nd.

If Wolves now want to host the first leg on Monday they have every right too.

Wolves gave away the first leg. You shouldn't be able to now change your mind after you decided to go home second.

Can wolves ride at home on Wednesdays??

Didn't Poole give up the 2nd leg last year as wolves couldn't run the 1st leg on the Wednesday?

They are running this wednesday, in the cup.

I think at this stage of the season, getting meetings staged has priority over which team has first and second leg. The week after next is scheduled for both legs of the final.

Does not matter whether its sky or bt, they build the season all about this so called magical event called the play offs, only to then fail to show it if it should happen to rain, which in September/October is quite a possibility.

As False Dawn rightly says, what happens if it rains next Monday? incidentally the long range forecast for the north is for more unsettled weather over this coming weekend and into next week.

Take that with a pinch of salt, last night on BBC the forecast for Manchester today was the possibility of a light shower in the afternoon, and a dry evening.
