marko Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 What I cannot get is that when TV show meetings, they place quite an emphasis on those watching at home and those attending live come second to the production. But how are those tv audiences supposed to get hooked if they only see one meeting every few weeks? they see one match and the league table and then when the next match comes around, all of a sudden all the teams have played several more times and there has been no reference to it.

The Cheese Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 A little unfair to criticise Eurosport for their scheduling. There would have been a meeting this week if the weather hadn't intervened, they can't be blamed for that. Next week is the start of the French Open which will take up both of their channels which is fair enough. After that there is currently 6 meetings in 7 weeks scheduled; June 7th: Peterborough - King's Lynn June 14th: Sheffield - King's Lynn June 28th: Ipswich - Wolves July 5th: King's Lynn - Ipswich July 12th: Belle Vue - Wolves July 19th Wolves - Ipswich 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 31st has live coverage ending on Eurosport 2 at 6pm before a 2 hour highlights programme but that will cover any delays. 26 minutes ago, ShyTalk said: June 14th Sheffield v Kings Lynn is no longer on the fixture, on Sheffield's website, so that will not be shown.

Bluenose Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 I,m sure Eurosport could of put a match on tonight, ITV4 had the French Open on for 10 hours yesterday and 12 hours every day till at least the 7th June . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve55 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 On Monday 7th June the TV scheduling is for Peterborough v Kings Lynn, but in Speedway Star it's showing Wolves v Sheffield as the Euro sport meeting! Could this be like the opening night where they had the main coverage from one meeting and updates from the other, or have SS got it wrong? I know which meeting I'd rather watch!

IainB Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 So after the initial 3 hour programme which, apart from the actual racing, was introductions, explanations and adverts, Monday nights transmission was cut back to 2 and a half hours and a very scaled back production. Abby presenting on her own, minimal interviews from "Brando". The new deal was greeted with great fanfare and while glad and grateful to watch live British Speedway on TV last Monday's match was a far inferior programme than what was previously offered by Sky and BT Sport. Where was all of the detail and analysis that was promised and going into greater depth... a lot of the programme seemed to be the camera scanning the... erm... crowd, playing Where's Wally. There was also some atrocious direction with the age old problem of the pictures cutting away to a close up of the leader on his own just as there was a move about to be pulled at the back.

racers and royals Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Just the one Premiership match on Monday Peterborough v Wolves which Eurosport are showing live at 7.30pm on Eurosport 2. ( main reason for this week’s switch so they didn’t cover Peterborough at home 2 weeks running).Nothing on the 21st but then a good run of Monday fixtures on TV Edited June 9, 2021 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
