Gemini 4,894 Posted February 1, 2013 I won't be renewing in March either so what I save a month will be used on more live Speedway - National League at Coventry and probably a few trips to Beaumont Park throughout the season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Animal 48 Posted February 3, 2013 It seems that Sky will not be showing the GP's this year! http://www.methanolpress.com/sky-sports-speedway-grand-prix-viewing-figures-2012-worst-year-since-records-began/ Apologies for posting this twice, wasn't sure which was the appropriate thread.

StormMarketing 22 Posted February 3, 2013 MrCTS - his Leicester days were before I can remember, I only remember the 8 years at Exeter I have seen a couple of leiceter races at Kings Lynn on Youtube and one at home against Hans Nielsen etc. Wish I had all the meetings on DVD really.

Hel'n'Back 146 Posted February 4, 2013 Ah well, will seriously consider whether it's worth reinstating sky sports for the elite league only then!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildcat Willie 4 Posted February 4, 2013 Big shame if GP's are not on televised. I for one would much prefer to see the Elite league axed in favour of the GP's. It would probably make me go to more meetings a season. When Weymouth shut down , I went from probably fifty plus meetings a year down to fifteen'ish. Then I got sky sports and didnt feel the urgency to go any more like I used to. Last season I managed 3 meetings at Somerset and Cardiff. Didnt even venture to Poole which is 45 mins up the road, although not sure wether that is because of the speedway on TV, the price or the fact its usually boring racing at Poole ( in my opinion). Suspect really that it is because its on TV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted February 4, 2013 Presumably the G.P's cost more for Sky to show? I think you are probably right and a lot of fans stay at home rather than getting out to their local track because the Elite League is shown on T.V. so they get their weekly 'fix' that way in the comfort of their own home.
