LUKEWARM TWEETS posted 19 March 2013
Members of the public have given televised cycle speedway a lukewarm reception judging by comments on Twitter moments after this evenings screening of the Elite League match between Sheffield and Oxford. Heres what Tweeters had to say
Shaun Duncombeþ@DuncombeS1h Sky Sports 4 Cycle Speedway crap but compulsive viewing
Callam Goldthorpþ@CallamGoldthorp53m The Elite League Cycle Speedway is possibly the funniest sport ever
Richard Johnþ@RichieRJ51m Jeez those cycle speedway riders are a bit looney ain't they ?
Rennieþ@AndrewRennie11h Elite league cycle speedway has to be one of the worst sports I've ever seen televised
The Will to Live.þ@will_skillen1h Accidentally flicked onto sky sports 4 and see elite league cycle speedway, I have honestly never seen anything like it #shockingsport
MIXED PUBLIC REACTION TO CS ON TV posted 24 February 2013
The latest instalment of cycle speedway on Sky has attracted a mixed reaction from the public judging by comments on Twitter which range from ridiculous to lets build a track. Some of the posts are:
Michael Reilly þ@M_210890 Cycle speedway on skysports2 . Absolute comedy
Tommy Burrows þ@Tommy_Burrows_ What a crack cycle speedway looks!
Dan þ@thebsdbox Cycle Speedway looks thoroughly ridiculous..
Albert Rodriguez þ@Albert_is Attention everybody I know: Youtube "cycle speedway" and hit me up if you wanna build a track and get the sport started in Miami.
All of which adds to the maxim that you cant please all of the people all of the time.
I recorded the Sky Elite League match between Ipswich and Sheffield this afternoon. What a great advert for cycle speedway.
It was well presented thanks to Graham Sutton. Very well done too Andy Angell, taking all the worst grids but making the most of them. A true Jedi - taking the worst for the good of the all , Well done Andy and Sheffield.

After watching the second match of the Sky package, I have to hand it to the producers and people behind it. What a fantastic product they have delivered. Brilliantly edited, you get just the action packed content, exactly what's best.
But I want to say what a great tool it might become. I suspect it is possible to get the full footage of unedited matches. It can be a perfect tool for the refereeing Commission to get the feedback on decision making. I'm not trying to get anybody framed, but there certainly was discussion about the men in the middle after both footage, and as usual it had both sides of arguments.
What I'm trying to say, with a good film, with close up replays, referees can all get together and perhaps get an overview and agree on the way they handle things in the future. Certainly a paragraph on excessive force and jumping on the centre green has to be clearly put in place. It has so many different outcomes it's unbelievable.

World champion Lukasz Nowacki has been impressed with recent television coverage of the sport on Sky television.
I must say the first one was awesome. Exactly how we wanted it. Short, exciting and a little crazy. I can see some great things coming of the back of this success wrote Lukasz on his website blog.
