I am enjoying the cycle speedway coverage, only seen the Wolverhampton/Brum and Horspath/Brum meetings. Not ridden myself since 92 but makes me think I may have another go just for keeping fit or rather getting back to some sort of fitness. Think the rules must have changed a bit from my days though looking at some of the dubious refereeing decisions lol!!!

Coming soon on Sky Sports - match 6 in the coverage of the BCTG Elite League in "Sports Unlimited".

This time its a real classic between the two teams at the top of the table - Oxford and Poole.

 

If the Hammers win or draw they win the league outright but if the Dorset club can complete the double over Oxford then it will all go down to the final matches of the season.

 

If you have enjoyed the coverage so far, then you will not want to miss this one!

Screening times will be posted asap.

The broadcast times for the top of the table clash between Oxford and Poole are:-

 

Tuesday 19th Feb at 11pm on Sky Sports 3

 

Wednesday 20th Feb at 3.30pm on Sky Sports 2

 

There are plans to put all the matches in the series on youtube once the last programme has been screened.

Missed the Oxford v Poole action?

 

Sky have an additional screening of the match on Saturday morning but its at 3am so maybe best set the recorder for this one.

Its in Sports Unlimited on Sky Sports 2.

 

Next up will be action from the final match of the season when Sheffield pit their track skills against Oxford in the title decider.

Quite enjoyed the Horspath vs Poole match. I used to dread going there, but it didnt look as small as I remember it. Quite amusing when the camera panned around the pits area and there was the commentator filling in his programme!!

Must have been multi-tasking!
