i'm gonna try not to rant on too much cos I've done that here

http://southwestbikers.com/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=83358

But I'm not happy that you won't be able to get the full races on the free channels and that the highlights we will get are not even on the same day.

I'm not prepared to subcribe just to get the BSB.

What are your veiws and please vote in the poll.

I know deej has started a simular topic but I wanted to set up a poll to see if anyone else is as angry as I.

If you do wish to complain heres the email. media@britishsuperbike.com

Cheers, Mike :x

If you already get it then you would be, but wjhat about the rest of us. It's not so much the live bit I'm bothered about than the fact they won't show the whole races and the highlights won't be on till late Tuesday.

coverage was good on ITV, considering it was free. Not all of us want to waste our money on Sky and would prefere to spend it on more wortth while things than TV :D

They have said there will be live streaming on the internet. Will non subscribers be able to watch this?

I've got a freeview box but it doesn't bring in Eurosport unfortunately so it'll be the highlights for me, probably video'd too :evil: I refuse to give any money to that pirate Murdoch, plus I don't watch enough tv to justify it...
Something that seems to have passed people by is that on Eurosport the race itself will be interrupted by commercials with no regard to the timing or anything :roll: . I wasn't over-impressed with the ITV coverage last year, but most of the time we got fresh highlights and a live race, though Omorogbe and Cracknell were irritating beyond belief - let's face it peeps, there's only one Suzi Perry :D , and she's a very tough act for anyone to emulate...

you cant beat a bit of suzi perry

unfortunately were not following a high enough profile sport to warrant terestrial tv being interested/prepared to pay

I emailed the BSB people and ITV with no reply yet, the ignorant buch of lazy [Censored].

Was looking forward to taking baby Christopher to his first race this year but as we won't be able to keep up with it doean't look like any point now. Fecking sky. :evil:

I have had a reply !!!!!!

All I did was send an email asking why ITV have stop showing it ?

why we have to wait up till 1am to see the highlights on channel 4, 3 days later ?

Reply from a "Laura Stevens" Media and PR Officer at the BSB, who basicly told me to Fook Off and stop asking her questions.

she sent me a link to there website which said that its now being shown on Eurosport and how good its going to be for people with that channel

Pi*s me off so much ! that they do this type of thing
