screm 8,057 Posted April 3, 2016 I think you hit the nail on the head to be fair. Somebody has to give the fans an explanation as to why Sky have pulled again. Its not fair on the fans nor the clubs involved.. As I posted earlier I cant buy its just because of a iffy weather forecast, something the Kings Lynn track will face virtually on a weekly bases, had there been weather warnings, fair enough but to the best of my knowledge there hasn't been leaving me to believe there is more to this than certain people are letting on.

Bunce 347 Posted April 3, 2016 A lot of people have sky for the speedway, can see a few cancelled subs at this rate. I was one of those people who subscribed to Skysport purely to watch speedway. However, I found with so many cancelled matches, and those that got half way through, only to get rained off, it just wasn't worth it. For the last year or two, I've used the Now TV Day pass. Its not cheap at £6-99 for the one day, but at least I can pick and choose which match I watch, and check the weather before I part with my money. I only watch the occasional match by this method now, but also get some speedway on Eurosport as part of my basic Sky Entertainment package. I'm curious to see what BT do, as I get BT Sport 1 as a BT Broadband customer, but I suspect they will put any speedway on one of the other BT sport channels that I have to pay for!

mrss 691 Posted April 3, 2016 Can't believe tomorrow's meeting is cancelled. It's only the third week of the season. Every year we struggle to fit all the meetings in and have to run them in the bad weather at the end of season. What the hell is going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, the forcast isn't bad at all, which leads you to believe something else is up.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I can gather it will be BT Sports 2, same as MotoGP As an existing customer you should be able to get the full sports for £3 month extra atm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted April 3, 2016 Sorry do not understand what you mean by that, please elaborate?Just doesn't feel right you posting on here about your Dad's business. OK let's try something else, why don't you ring him on his mobile and ask him what's going on, then report back to us on here, your fellow Kings Lynn Speedway fans .... put everyone's mind at rest 😆 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course You could go to Young Stars on Wednesday and ask Buster and report back to us all Edited April 3, 2016 by Star Lady Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are so many permutations of Sky/ Eurosport / BT and in the past Bet 365, however you can't beat watching it live. Oh....I can't do that tomorrow as its cancelled!

All a bit odd ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that is correct. But really and truely fans need to be put in the picture from somebody in authority why Sky have pulled again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
