oldace 1,678 Posted October 1, 2015 Because I just don't think that 889,000 is very impressive when you see all the SKY Dishes outside Houses. It doesn't matter where you go - the Dishes are everywhere - from that I would have expected Viewing Figures to be higher than they are - that is all. Not very scientific - I will give you that. Jesus Christ, I thought this wasca serious debate "you have seen lots if SKY dishes on houses" FFS and people think fans should be listened to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
van wolfswinkel 635 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) I don't know how many folk have SKY, so I can't really comment on that. When I worked with them about 40% of homes had SKY, so over 10 million homes, and they reckoned less than 30% of the country subscribed to Sky Sports. 150,000 were said to have watched Swindon-Poole league meeting earlier in the year. I love the play-offs, Swindon always get in 'em but rarely bloody win! Edited October 1, 2015 by haydon hat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barney Rabbit 727 Posted October 1, 2015 Sid . What time are the pl finals on sky ? If Sky had never sponsored or shown speedway, would we have play-offs now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldace 1,678 Posted October 1, 2015 If Sky had never sponsored or shown speedway, would we have play-offs now? We probably wouldn't even have speedway now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The White Knight 9,039 Posted October 1, 2015 If Sky had never sponsored or shown speedway, would we have play-offs now? Put simply - No. Jesus Christ, I thought this wasca serious debate "you have seen lots if SKY dishes on houses" FFS and people think fans should be listened to Debate - you don't know the meaning of the word. All you seem to do is slag people off for having a different opinion to you. I admitted my guesswork was unscientific. Take a pill and chill out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldace 1,678 Posted October 1, 2015 Put simply - No Take a pill and chill out. So to ask Orions question again then, how come the Premier League has implemented play offs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWitcher 12,453 Posted October 1, 2015 We don't need to listen to people on a speedway forum who haven't the slightest clue what they are talking about and are not intelligent enough to understand when they are corrected. I'll believe this one:- http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/jul/29/sky-profits-rise-customers-germany-italy Which tells us their annual revenue has hit nearly £11.3 billion and that in the UK their customer base has gone about 12 million for the first time. It also tells us the cancellation rate is at the lowest level it has been for 11 years. Revenues in the UK and Ireland were up 6% to £7.8bn with operating profit up 12% to £1.35bn. Maybe you think the Guardian is lying.. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-33699737 There's the BBC reporting an 18% increase in annual operating profit for Sky to £1.4 billion. Maybe the BBC are in on the lie too... http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/sky-profits-customer-growth-highest-decade-1513099 Nope, it seems International Business times is also telling us that sky customer growth is the highest in a decade. http://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/sky-profits-6-per-cent-nearly-million-customers-added/1358002 And another one hailing increased profit and customers. So to summarise, we don't need to listen to Sidney and ColinMills. We simply have to use our intelligence and look to legitimate sources. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forget the PL play-offs for a few seconds and answer a simple question:- If Sky hadn't sponsored or shown speedway back at the turn of the century, would speedway be having play-offs now?
