mac101 1,213 Posted March 7, 2017 Will all depend what you pay monthly I have virgin phone and only because it's the fastest broadband around and was going to go to BT sport and when I went to cancel virgin they gave me the BT sport for free for 6 months and took £9 off my monthly bill just to stay with them and told me to call back in 6 months if you are good at haggling you can get a great deal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woodenspoon 157 Posted March 7, 2017 I wonder what Go Speeds cut will be, probably far more than the clubs will receive, do not understand why the BSPA still goes along with them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theboss 727 Posted March 7, 2017 Heard BT have paid £0 for the rights and will only cover their cost for live meetings this is why there are only 18 meetings planned across speedway which includes play offs so really 15 league meetings. I expected better, shame gospeed are still involved in sucking whatever is/was good left out of the sport Only positive is riders and clubs have a platform to promote sponsors If this is true cookie, then the thread I started 'what if' needs further discussion as I am not sure all clubs finances will stretch far enough... Fingers crossed they get something, even if it is a cut of the advertising revenue between races. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I expected better, shame gospeed are still involved in sucking whatever is/was good left out of the sport Only positive is riders and clubs have a platform to promote sponsors But then again 20% of £0 is £0. So will that be GoSpeed's fee this time? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookieIpswich 249 Posted March 7, 2017 Problem is if bt sport has paid £0 similar to what eurosport pay for british superbike it still holds a value so a finders or negotiation fee could be charged or payable, bspa happy to use gospeed but surely they can negotiate themselves, what else has gospeed done for the sport? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
topaz325 1,880 Posted March 7, 2017 Just cancelled Sky sports, still paying £32.00 a month for basic package, guy on the phone did not realise that they had lost Speedway, still too much to pay Sky!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BluTiger 21,719 Posted March 7, 2017 As a Virgin customer i'm very happy with this news. Phone, super fast broadband and the XL TV package including BT Sports for 70 squid is acceptable imo. Just hope BT can get the Golf off Sky now Bring on shouty and screamy .... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
