I got Discovery+ in Feb when it was on a half price annual cost ie £30. If I was paying £60 pa just for speedway GP I would still go for it. 10 gps’s works out at £6 per gp! As a comparison, last year I paid £10 to watch a stream from Berwick of the British Championship individual championship. But Discovery + is much bigger then speedway. I like watching World super bike racing, every round is on, world MX and world sidecar MX. Last week, apart from watching 4 world speedway championship meetings from Denmark, last Monday evening I watched Wolverhampton v Kings Lynn, tonight I will be watching British championship at Belle Vue, so that’s 6 meetings in 8 days. Saturday I watched world championship BMX, then there is Cycle cross that I like watching, world formula electric car racing. Loads of wheeled sports, plus many others. You have access to films of all sorts, does’ntt interest me but shows Discovery+ is not just a speedway channel. Just need MotGP/2/3 to move away from BT to Discovery+ and I would be well and truly in happy land. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chance that they'll delay the start due to queues to get in then fanny about with an overlong parade and only completed 10 races by the time it rains. These kind of meetings need referees trained by Mr Ebdon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they need to get 2min at 7.28 and smash this through, no drawn out grading. Rain is going to hit at 9, 22 heats in 1.5hours is doable if they get on with it.

PhilTheAce Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 Phil Morris apologised about not having many ad breaks for son final due to weather. So they obviously don’t need to show all the ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to BBC there's less than 40% chance of it at 21.00hrs, rising to 50% by 22.00, for me it doesn't exactly feel like it's going to pour down, so maybe they'll get lucky even if it starts with drizzle.

I hope the BBC is correct but from my experience it's the least reliable forecast. Met Office is the most reliable but u also av to add in the Manchester factor Anyways, 5 mins & I'm making me way across to the NSS & I'm gonna try to put the sky to the back of me noggin!
