gary moore 35 Posted July 26, 2014 We decided this year not to subscribe to Sky sports and pay silly money to see `iffy` racing and hear the screaming twins. Were glad we did now. Swedish Speedway, apart from a couple of `quite` meetings has been great! Coupled with the fact that the GP series and the world cup are on Eurosport we made the right move and saved money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottyfan 824 Posted July 26, 2014 Is it just me or are Sky showing much fewer EL matches than usual................There seems to have been quite a few weeks when no match has been shown.......Last week being a prime example, Wolves v Lakeside or Belle Vue v Swindon......Either would have been good viewing for the fans of said teams or the neutrals surely???

As you've watched, and enjoyed so much televised speedway, has it caused you to choose not to attend any speedway meetings you might otherwise have attended? - and I don't mean meetings which have been on TV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naffer 442 Posted July 26, 2014 good question midland red, not aimed at me I know but if I see a good meeting on sky ,it makes me want to see the bees on a Friday more than ever. I cannot get into the Swedish league at all it just seems strange watching riders you see in the elite league as rivals riding as team mates or vice versa ,maybe it's a generational thing. Â It used to irritate me the screaming twins that is ,but I think they have toned it down a bit this year although dear old Nigel is still likely to think someone has made a good gate when in fact they are mired at the back. Â All heading towards one league again I reckon back to the future 1965 is the new 2015. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted July 26, 2014 Not aimed at me either but I've not subscribed to Sky Sports this season for the first time and have only missed it on the odd occasion. I can watch the G.P's etc. on Eurosport, also the Swedish matches if I wanted to but strangely enough I've not really been that interested in them. I've watched a couple of the matches but that's all. Still watch the G.P's but if they weren't on Eurosport I probably wouldn't bother with them either. Should I get worried?

Bruiser McHuge 589 Posted July 26, 2014 Sky is certainly expensive but any speedway is a bonus for me...I certainly wouldn't subscribe to Sky purely for the speedway...the product is not that good ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Fever 274 Posted July 26, 2014 Swedish speedway really means nothing to us, goes to show!! :-) Well i enjoy it - its speedway after all, and tbh I'd watch even if it was the German league. Any speedway on TV is a bonus as far as I'm concerned 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrewrunagall 35 Posted July 26, 2014 Soon, I'm going to have to cancel my Sky subscription, as it's gradually creeping up in price, but as Sky Sports Mobile and Eurosport Player are about £10 per month each, I'll probably switch to that as everything else I watch is either on Freeview or it can be downloaded… somehow.  Should save me about £50 a month, plus more during the off-season.

Bagpuss 10,780 Posted July 26, 2014 I've not missed Sky either, Eurosports coverage had been great with GPs, SWC, Euros, Pairs and Swedish league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
