"There is also a strong chance providing the media rights fees are acceptable and that certain conditions are met by host broadcasters that we may see some Polish and Swedish speedway live or delayed coverage."
Again Swedish speedway is exclusive to Premier Sports.
"Now the questions it is planned that at launch this channel would be free but if coverage was to increase and more sports like MX1 GP,BTCC,WRC or British superbikes was to join would you be willing to pay an additional £3-5 per month ?"
WRC is exclusive to ESPN.
"Just after a bit of feedback and feelings towards some possible changes happening to Sky sports speedway coverage."
My cousin races for Newcastle Diamonds, formerly of Edinburgh Monarchs, and has been in Speedway for almost 10 years. I've just sent him a text asking if there are any changes afoot. He has heard nothing. Usual coverage as normal as far as he is concerned.
EDIT
Oh wait, I didn't realise he posted more BS.
"The initial plan is that it would be included at no extra cost for Sky sports customers it does seem among Speedway fans though a few of you would be prepared to pay for it as a stand alone channel so no need for Sky sports subs would £10 a month seem reasonable?"
Sounds terribly like Boxnation to me.
"The reasoning behind this idea is the rights of F1 being purchased and due to the length and timing of these races there is likely to be a number of clashes with Football,Rugby Union,Superleague and Cricket along with variety of other sports mean a very full schedule 2012."
I'm sure 4 SKY Sports channel plus the Red Button facility will help SKY cope.
"With regards to Virgin I would be very surprised if no carriage deal was done with them as the Tivo service is very good."
That seems a great reason to withhold a channel
"There's an interesting rumour making the rounds on a Speedway forum"
I read this as; Here's some nonsense I've just came up with.
