bigcatdiary 3,166 Posted October 2, 2016 If this is aimed at me, I was born in Kent and moved to Swindon as a child. Only lived there just under 10 years of my life and had no choice as a minor. As soon as I became of age I was gone and moved to Dorset, where I have been ever since. Best thing I ever did was getting out of Swindon. Oh, and I moved to Swindon from Peterborough. Does that mean I should be a panthers fan first? No Canterbury fan first, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted October 2, 2016 Muck Fe! I was looking forward to reading about the Sky Deal, 2 pages and it only gets 1 ish mention I asked for a list of sky meetings broadcast this season, either nobody knows, or don't want to post it as it will be extremely bias towards a couple of teams....

rocketman77 41 Posted October 2, 2016 It was a five year deal at the start of the 2014 season. The deal will be terminated if they don't have enough teams for next years Elite League Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scott0311 94 Posted October 2, 2016 I asked for a list of sky meetings broadcast this season, either nobody knows, or don't want to post it as it will be extremely bias towards a couple of teams.... Unofficial based on the wonderful Speedway Updates site - Belle Vue - 3H (inc 1 PO) & 2A (inc 1 PO) Coventry - 3H & 2A Kings Lynn - 1H & 3A Lakeside - 3H (inc 1 PO) & 1A (inc 1 PO) Leicester = 1H Poole - 3H (inc 1 PO) & 3A (inc 1 PO) Swindon - 2H & 3A Wolves - 4H (inc 1 PO & double header) & 4A (inc 1 PO) So Wolves shown the most and Leicester the least.

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted October 2, 2016 There were a few rain offs/pre-meeting cancellations which may/May not have been re-chosen for broadcast.. Just as a matter of interest, when Sky first started broadcasting the BEL, I DVD'D every meeting religiously, on separate discs, with personalised case covers and disc labels... I loved watching the coverage, if meetings were rained off (rare) they did sometimes have alternative venues.. I distinctly remember a meeting rained off, and they switched to Wolverhampton, I'm sure that was the meeting when Sam Ermolenko went under the fence, that was wet as well.... They never used to harp on about getting to heat 10 either in them days.... How it's changed.... Unofficial based on the wonderful Speedway Updates site - Belle Vue - 3H (inc 1 PO) & 2A (inc 1 PO) Coventry - 3H & 2A Kings Lynn - 1H & 3A Lakeside - 3H (inc 1 PO) & 1A (inc 1 PO) Leicester = 1H Poole - 3H (inc 1 PO) & 3A (inc 1 PO) Swindon - 2H & 3A Wolves - 4H (inc 1 PO & double header) & 4A (inc 1 PO) So Wolves shown the most and Leicester the least. Well, as I said, bias shown... And don't compare to football and Chelsea/Man Utd get more coverage than Crystal palace, Etc....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does that mean I should be a panthers fan first? No you got that wrong, "the best thing that happened to Swindon was when you moved out". As to the 2nd sentence, no I wouldn't wish that on any team!

TheReturn 1,724 Posted October 3, 2016 Ok Mr S.S, maybe it was a bit of a mardy statement to make! Is there a list of all the Sky meetings shown this season? Don't remember seeing Kings Lynn or Leicester very often this season.. To be fair who would want to! But any TV deal should ensure all clubs get an equal amount. For next season, could Sky please show Belle Vue at home every other week (I jest, I know they can't, but if quality of racing was the clincher, they should!). Every meeting shown provided some great entertainment and racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
