disgrace, to think that each team will get some financial support from sky and we get two gigs. Stinks and somebody with some balls should kick up a massive row about it, that is just not cricket, its not even speedway!

Ipswich and Oxford not on at all in the next couple of months. Towards the end of the season the matches are geared towards the teams at the top qualifying for the playoffs, they should be evenly spread out till then, but taking decent matches into account.

But as usual we are too far north!

The fact we are a famous speedway club counts for nothing!

How can Sky justify their schedule as being fair. If I have counted correctly their live schedule involves the following number of appearances per team.

Poole - 5
Coventry & Swindon - 3
Reading, Wolves & Lakeside - 2
B Vue, Peterborough & Eastbourne - 1
Ipswich & Oxford - O.

I appreciate that poole have the world champion in their team but given Pooles performances so far this season including their beating at Kirky Lane I dont understand the Sky bias towards them.

To give teams like Oxford & Ipswich no coverage in the early part of the season when later season coverage deliberately targets play off contenders which Oxford & Ipswich wont be is dis-respectful on Sky's part.

To give teams like P'Boro (Play of finalists just last year) and E'bourne who have genuine Grand Prix contenders like messrs Hans Anderson & Nikki Pedersen is at best bad planning on Sky sports part or again perhaps just not respectful.

On current form I can understand the planning of Coventry and Swindon having 3 live matches each given their current/recent form however the rest of the schedule seems ill-planned at best.

In theory you would be right but how many times did SKY visit us when Crump was in our set up? Not that many, and it was only towards the end of the season we "won" the title that we got some coverage.
No our face dont fit, we wear clogs and cloth caps, dont use the right spoon or knife, and break wind in company. (lol)
It will be a long time before we get a decent look in

Yep, everyone knows it, whoever has scheduled these SKY matches is a joke. Poole on 5 times in the next couple of months is crazy.

Same old story with Southern biased sky, they must have jumped for joy when Crumpy signed for Poole. From a neutral point of view, it would make more sense too show the stronger teams away with the weaker sides ie belle vue, oxford at home.That said sky will soon be moaning when they keep showing drubbins!!
