MotoGP
Today we have seen the last MotoGP on the BBC.
With F1 only being half a season and now the bikes gone, does the BBC imagine they will have any sports fan viewers left?
Sadly, I can't afford any of the pay to view companies and we don't have fibre optic broadband in our area, so my viewing is pretty curtailed.
Sorry state of affairs

Re: MotoGP
You will win.
I am anaspeptic, pharismotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

Re: MotoGP
Fucking tragedy. That is not the way to ensure the sport grows or increase a fan base.

Re: MotoGP
MotoGP will fade even more than it has in recent years now. I can watch it next season as I have BT Broadband, but I very much doubt I will very often. Its easy to hit record and watch it at your leisure but when you have to log in to an app and watch on an iPad its just isn't as convenient. Much like the whole F1 on Sky. The viewing figures for that are bordering on appalling and people like me who could watch on Sky Go simply don't because its far easier to watch highlights on the BBC. I'm half expecting the F1 coverage to be dropped in the next couple of years too and that will be a sad day. Places like this will have less posters too because there is no point debating circumstances of a race if we haven't seen it.
These days if you want sport you have to pay silly amounts a month to watch it. With the country still in recession and finances tight in many households, people would just rather spend that cash on more important things. I know an awful lot of people who cancelled their Sky subscriptions when the last football season ended. They must be losing a hell of a lot of customers with these prices. BT should learn from that too!.

Re: MotoGP
The problem is there is so much money involved in sport these days that they have to go the pay channel route. What is the worst thing that ever happened to sport? That's right, professionalism! Instead of being a pastime to exercise and have fun after work and on the weekends and the pride of playing for your country, now it has become a massive career/job market for the competitors and with it comes the unwarranted huge salaries and escalating costs
