bruno 1,790 Posted March 4, 2018 You can't blame the star for non delivery this week it'll be chaos for delivery companies, I'm expecting something today if it doesn't come so what it'll get here sooner or later 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triple.H. 1,982 Posted March 4, 2018 Mine turned up on Thursday morning as usual Which considering if you mention snow in a weather forecast in Oxford mass panic ensues I think is rather good service by the parties involved, espescially my postman who turns up day in day out no matter what the weather is like Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not much to do with deliveries and everything to do with panic buying if there are more than 3 snowflakes fall in an hour!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hadn't seen those reports of the three millennials falling down and all within an hour. I hope there's an immediate and thorough Health and Safety investigation. Whoever is responsible must be publicly denounced. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waytogo28 2,054 Posted March 7, 2018 The TV deal will have been delayed because of that atrocious weather over five days of last week. And very likely the BSPA are holding back the announcement to coincide with the start of the season to create / raise the excitement level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't they realise that with the age demographic of the average speedway fan up and down the country, the the added tension and suspense could lead to a widespread epidemic of hypertension, cardiac arrests or other internal seizures ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_martin 1,606 Posted March 7, 2018 Great news! British Gymnastics has got a new TV deal. - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/gymnastics/43323146 Which kind of reminds us all of what a pickle speedway is in, if Gymnastics gets to be screened and speedway can't. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bill94d 105 Posted March 8, 2018 Can someone please summarise the situation as of this moment? I have just had notification that my BT sub is going up in March. No speedway and I would cancel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted March 8, 2018 THERE will be speedway on BT, domestic as well as SGP. Why there delay in an announcement from BSPA HQ is anybody's guess... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
