mp2 0 Posted February 22, 2010 Wondering if anyone can help - saw an ad on Eurosport Asia-Pacific tonight that showed Speedway - does anyone know if the Grands Prix are showed live or very closely delayed? In Oz, we have the highlights programs, but a long time after it has gone to air. I can't seem to find a list of broadcasters or an EPG through to April to see if Eurosport Asia-Pacific will show them or not. Any help appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quickest way to find out is likely to contact Eurosport Asia-Pacific by email/phone/forum and ask them. Unless a member of their programming staff is a forum member on here and can tell you Is a great shame that the highlights are shown with such a delay.

mp2 0 Posted March 1, 2010 Still none the wiser - I found the contact form on the Eurosport site and shot a note off with the grand result of....no response! Hopefully there is a backlog and they get back this week sometime. The EPG should be available for April some time soon. I thought there may have been a subscriber from somewhere in Asia that may be into their speedway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pompey 1 Posted April 24, 2010 another point for the mighty pompey... and now, the anticipation of the young guns at gp level.... its late, and will go on till 6am.... but its the first live hd gp shown over here, so it better not be raining. hanging for it. it should be awesome. its funny, now we have coverage of the elite aswell, we are so glad to just see speedway, i read some of the threads on here and well.... must say, very concerned about the crowds, does everyone stay at home to watch on tv, or is that the norm attendance now? my pick, the flying banana, jarek hampel.

A bit of both, but bees crowd reflects how good the current team is, simply put, dire. Edited April 24, 2010 by From PC to KC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mp2 0 Posted April 26, 2010 Couldn't agree more Pompey, its great to see the skids back on TV in Oz and the 'magnificent' Sky coverage! I too am interested in looking at the crowds at the track - there seem to be some striking issues with the Elite League crowds: Aside from the size of them, with no disrespect, the vast majority of attendees would appear to be on the other side of 40. As they'd say in Sydney, they're losing supporters to Rookwood (cemetry) rather than other pursuits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FWIW, I agree, speedway has a problem attracting young people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mp2 0 Posted April 27, 2010 Not being ageist mate, just being a realist! They are the things I look at and it seems like the BSPA and the clubs haven't been out there promoting the sport to new audiences. There is lots to promote to the broader population about our sport and the evidence of Monster and Red Bull, along with Prodrive and others in the SGP Series is evidence that they can see future potential in the sport. It needs a concerted push to get the youngsters that are coming through profile outside the Speedway Star and Sky Sports, whether they be English, Aussie or from Timbuktu.
