Why would Eurosport want to show Ipswich vs Wolves over Peterborough vs Sheffield.

Two smaller clubs on a slow track

Or two big cities on a fast race track.

I emailed them and got an interesting reply 

They said it was just to pi$$ you off

What a pointless match to show..not impressed with their coverage..my sky Q box randomly loses its series links which it did this week so thought I'd catch the highlights which only showed 5 races and then 40 mins of waffle and replays...not impressed.

Anyone know what sort of viewing figures Eurosport are generating?

Sponsorship exposure is important, but if few are watching it amounts to nothing.

Equal share of coverage has to be there, but I do wonder whether sometimes a promoter would rather it wasn't, it means a reduced crowd and the chances of someone watching who is A: an unconverted live fan and B: within reasonable travelling distance to that track, seems quite low.

Where is the gain? the sport has had tv coverage for years, it all seems to do is bury the product rather than put it over as something people should go out of there way to experience.

A "two hour advert" that advertises itself as a sport that hardly any crowd attends..

A Great plan...

Those watching wont for one moment think the stadiums are virtually empty due to the TV cameras being there..

They will just think it's because "that is normal" and, being sheep like, wont get encouraged to attend something so apparently poorly followed..

I suppose Nigel and Kelvin could currently say all the gaps are due to social distancing rules and a restricted attendance..?

Might struggle with that after lockdown fully ends though..

I thought this was a round up magazine on Quest, but so far very little ( almost nothing ) has been show from the other matches going on the same night as the televised one.

And is this Saturday at 6 pm really going to be coverage of the SEC?

I normally watch live-ish at my mum's inbetween the soaps, or Saturdays at my mates for the GPs / SONs / SECs but recently I've relied on the Quest hi-lites.

Quick comment re shedeuling; why are Wolves shown almost every week, apparently on 12 July it's Belle Vue v those Wolves, again........

Only on Eurosport player 

Thanks. I will give up now as I can't afford to add the Eurosport Player to what I can watch. It was during the live match last Monday that Abi Stephen's (?) announced it was going to be on Eurosport - no mention of the Player - and my hopes rose!

I think you will find that she indeed said it was on player and app- i heard it quite clearly.

just before 6pm check the thread page on the international section as there will( i’m sure) be a link to a VK stream of the Polish coverage- it is 100% ok as well.

With only 6 teams there will quite a bit of repeating of seeing the same teams.

Matches involving Wolves are likely to be included because they are one of the stronger teams this season.
