It was a nice day in Manchester area on Monday. Covers I would expect to be off. Today is different day. Not pelting down, but drizzly and damp. Possibly ok, depends what the rest of the day does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to think Phil has enough experience of UK weather to have at least brought some with him in case it takes a turn for the worse.

You not changed your TV (and it needs setting up). I just gone onto Discovery+, getting the same screen (now on 10:05:08). But not getting the message you getting at the bottom. I'm ready to go! I had the same message before the last GP but about 5mins before it diappeared ,I would also turn the tv off and on again think you will be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't be 100% sure,but I think I had the same if not similar message before the last Gp.It came on though at the start time,so maybe it comes up with that message because you have got the Discovery+ channel on too early.I get Discovery+ with my Sky package.

secsy1 Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 So practise is off Why is no one looking at the forecast for the rest of the day, waiting for divine intervention So many meetings called due to impending weather 2 days in advance ! No news about the biggest meeting this year at The National Speedway Stadium and no doubt when its too late for travellers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No surprise there, there's now forecast to be a weather window until big rain is due to hit at around 21:30 to 22:00, let's hope there's no faffing about!

Hawk127 Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 I think some of the points made on here regarding the T V coverage are valid when it comes to considering the wider audience not just the current crop of speedway supporters who know where to find the sport. If it were on the main Eurosport channel or Sky it is more likely to pick up the channel hoppers whereas on Discovery that is unlikely. On the other side, I think I read in SS that £500k was the level of investment needed by the NSS to put on the speedway of nations and with sort of money at stake I would want the widest possible t v audience and not hidden away on something like Discovery. Let’s hope it is a success for all concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted July 9 Report Share Posted July 9 Think it is too elongated an Event.Too many weak Teams just making up numbers.A wet week will case a lot problems.Pricing also an issue.4 Team format much better. IMO. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
