Might give it a try, even though I don’t have Sky sport. Yes, also get Sky Atlantic etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Not sure if things have changed, but Eurosport did not used to be part of the sports package. Was it part of the entertainment package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it part of the entertainment package? You are correct it was not. However when I negotiated a new deal a few months ago it came as part of the Sports package. Was also going to drop my direct deal with BT sports (which I did). Then Sky offered me BT Sport via themselves for half price so stayed with BT via Sky. Gets me extra Football and I believe they are still doing the Speedway GP's this year. The only one I do not subscribe to is Premier Sport for Polish Speedway as they do not seem to be doing as much as they promised (plus last week they put the Polish Speedway on their Free Sport Channel). Believe they are due to start Swedish Speedway next week so we will have to see what happens there. Edited April 28, 2021 by slyfox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim G Posted April 29, 2021 Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 BT Sport is now up for sale with rumours that DAZN, Disney and Amazon looking at buying it. So all content could be moved to a new platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Disney buy it we can probably look forward to them showing Ice Speedway as long as they can persuade Scott Nicholls to dress up as Princess Elsa to present it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTSport is not too expensive, I also with BT for superfast fibre, obviously I would think that stays with BT, but what will the new charge be and for what service. Will all come out in the wash, when "they" ready to let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have DAZN and it is only £2 a month at the moment but that might increase as it seems they are taking the Matchroom boxing from Sky Sports apart from Joshua in June. ITV are also said to be interested in buying part of BT sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all this weekends extraliga meetings were cancelled due to weather forecast?! If Premier/Freesports are still showing meetings on todays TV schedule then I guess they are re-runs of last week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Vue's opening match against Sheffield on Eurosport. I notice a Sheffield match moved from a Thursday to a Monday. I would assume this is for the benefit of Eurosport, so they probably know which matches they are covering. No idea when they will be making a formal announcement, or why the delay.

Like everyone else - waiting for the final confirmation that speedway can/will start. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
