Much as I think Natilie is a great presenter, Sky's coverage was better, though. Hopefully BT will understand the importance of minor placings more this year. Great that it will still be getting covered though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catalan 717 Posted January 12, 2018 I'd have to disagree Sky coverage was worse apart from not just following rider in 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty key point, though, don't you think? If it wasn't for that I'd agree that BT is better, but that can completely wreck it. I find myself getting frustrated sometimes watching BT because of that. I never had that with Sky. Edited January 12, 2018 by Grachan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike1944 151 Posted January 12, 2018 Sky did have quite a few years experience with filming speedway, if BT does show speedway again this year perhaps they will learn by experience as they progress through the season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted January 12, 2018 Be interesting to see whether they actually cover the whole of the season this time, or just the back end. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted January 12, 2018 DEPENDS on how much money is available to cover production costs I would imagine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naffer 442 Posted January 12, 2018 I think BT coverage is far better especially with the after meeting interviews and chit chat much better than the rushed finishes with sky . Natalie is quality and whilst I admit Nigel and Kevin are too shouty, you can’t knock the enthusiasm. we should start a petition to get Floppy back I thought he was really good. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to know. Norris was a very good rider who only showed his real potential in that brilliant season he had when he really went for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
poolebolton 464 Posted January 12, 2018 Wonder one day if you could get Darcy Ward to do a segment. Even with what he has said about UK speedway is still a huge fan and would be great on the coverage. Did like the Chris Louis/Simon Stead combo on Sky however.
