Gone to pot since. Seriously, I think its time BBC pulled the plug on the show. Surely all the other countries can afford to make up what BBC (thats us) put in. In fact, its about time the BBC licence fee is scrapped and BBC goes commercial. Or at least have a turn off for BBC then dont pay the licence fee. When I wanted to stop SKY I just told them and they "flicked a switch". Thats how BBC should be. BBC showed themselves up good and proper over Brexit. They have their favourite political parties, when really they should be neutral. Yep, I agree. Their love of the Tories always shines through, unless you actually believe the tripe printed in the conservative-biased press (mail, sun, telegraph, Times etc.)?

OveFundinFan Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 The Warsaw speedway show will be far better, no doubt about it. Just cheer for whoever produces good speedway, and I expect there to be lots of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume they poster mentioned it because it affects drinking in the old town square or the beach bars etc. And not that Warsaw fan zone is worth mentioning but poor weather would of affected that too. They would have been my reasons for mentioning the weather. That said the Poles did forget to close the roof a few years ago and the footy got Rained off. Yep that's the point. It's a deceptively long walk to the Stadium. You can see it but it never seems to get any closer. If it rains like last night we'll all get drenched.

Yes, I missed the fact that they have put it on a different channel (I'm easily confused!) Thanks Heathcote, I've found it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Is it me or is the clock stopping after the rider crosses the start line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely its just the delay of commincating between the transponder on the bike and the TV graphics. Mind you the delay in comminicating any excitement in this affair seems to be much greater.

NeilWatson Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 As I understood the rules, any lap started within the one minute time allowance could be completed, however the recording appears to be limited to four laps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 First one but I think the SGP qualifying could be a success, came over great on television, not sure about in the stadium but overall a success IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Doyle was the only one that recorded a fifth lap, and he was the first to go. Think the others realised that after lap one they would be going slower, and apart from one or two I think that was the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
