Oh, absolutely. You caught me. I’m currently pacing the room, tearing my hair out, and staring at the blank TV screen in absolute agony because I care so much. Or - crazy thought - maybe I just think tracking down international contacts in Poland over SON2 is a bit over the top.

You are so hilarious- not !!

Whilst HBO Max in Poland and Eurosport player in Poland were showing the meeting on their schedule- HBO UK were not. Therefore it was important to me to determine from a streaming point of view if this was the case. Their listings disappeared yesterday. You might not think it’s a big deal that thousands will not be able to watch a World Championship U 21 meeting but i do, especially that i have seen in writing a response from HBO to someone on Monday- and i quote.

” you can rest assured that your subscription covers all promised events for the season, including SGP 1, SGP 2 , SGP 3 , SWC and the U 21 SON. “

I think its great someone is putting in so much effort to find out if/where it will be shown. Hopefully those efforts are rewarded with a channel and time, but if not the efforts are still applauded and appreciated by most others on here.

That’s a very fair comment. Hopefully you get some good news.

You’ve practically got a case for the High Court here. And calling it "thousands" of people might be a bit of a stretch given the crowd levels, but if you want to spend your Friday treating a corporate copy-and-paste email like a legally binding treaty, you go for it.

So you don’t think in GB, Poland, Sweden and Denmark plus Australia there won’t be thousands wanting to watch it ? What planet are you on ?

My apologies, I thought you were just talking about the UK shambles, not a global emergency. My mistake for forgetting that Sweden and Denmark were depending on your phone call to the HBO supervisor.

As for what planet I’m from? Planet Earth. It’s a nice place where people don’t lose their minds over a U21 TV schedule.

Trust me, "mate", I’m perfectly relaxed. I'll save the panic for when something that actually matters happens.

Judging from your posts today you lost your mind years ago.

HBO will show what they want. They probably put the phone down and sat around laughing at the panic they’ve caused. Everyone will just have to find something else to do with Friday night. Speedway is well down the pecking order these days. 

They took Lanshut Friday meeting off the schedule but it was shown live on the day without notice.!!!

Or it’s just another troll like you.

I agree, you could put these posts down to that today. Heaven forbid anyone sees the humorous side in you giving an HBO customer service supervisor a proper talking to over their schedule. 

A lot of your replies to people are short and snappy, but believe it or not, there actually is a whole world outside of watching every single Speedway meeting that is televised anywhere on Earth.

You have no sympathy whatsoever for Speedway fans that have paid a subscription to HBO Max to watch their Speedway output. Sadly it’s one big joke to you.

I pay for TNT on HBO Max via EE as an add on, I'm just not that bothered that it's not on. It isn't a national tragedy.

I can see the massive wave of support you have on here though, so keep going. Clearly, you’re the hero they all needed. 😜
