Euro SJ - Red button

[Super_starz]

I thought it was on at 9am, mines not working

Im off SJ this afternoon so wanted to catch a little bit, bloody BBC!

 

[irishdraftlover]

starts at 915 according to my programme guide

 

[welshchick]

Me thinks the BBC has decided not to show the morning session due to Flint Curtis' absence...

 

[dressage_diva]

I can't get it to work either

H&H said it would be on frm 8:45am, BBC website it would be on from 9am...and you're saying 9:15am and it's now past that and still not started

 

[kerilli]

there were a lot of retirements and eliminations, so perhaps they are starting the sjing later on account of that?

 

[welshchick]

You could be right....

 

[tiggs]

Fontainebleau programme says SJ starts at 10 ( uk time) so I guess it will start then . Does anyone know what order they sj.

 

[nic85]

I just had a look on Freeview channel 302(BBC red button) and it says Equestrian Eventing but its showing bloody F1....

 

[madmaxi1]

I think its as they are short of riders for the SJ, but would be happy if they just showed some XC highlights as I only saw the final 15 riders!

 

[corribsurprise]

Grrr .... so far I've seen 6 (I think) renditions of football and F1 news, the next one's just started. WHERE's the EVENTING???? -

has anyone got a contact for the Beeb?

 

[Puppy]

Does anyone know what time they will be starting it?

 

[tiggs]

Just found start list only 40 jumping starting at 10 .30 http://www.worldsporttiming.com/contenu/documents/0001_002577.pdf

 

[Puppy]

Ah, super, thanks

I am so achey, I am going to stay lying down until the last possible moment

 

[Super_starz]

Oh well i will let them off, if they havent started yet...!

 

[Shrek-Eventing-SW]

oli's not showjumping
:/

 

[welshchick]

Excellent, thanks!

 

[dressage_diva]

My guess is that that the SJing will be on screen 3 - I think the "Classic F1" is likely to be the programme they've put on until the SJing starts (at let's hope 10am!)

Sat here patiently waiting, looked on the BBC site and it says

Equestrian, European Eventing Championships
Video Coverage (UK users only):
1000-1615 BST, Cross-Country
1300-1400 BST, Highlights

I think they may have dropped the live coverage

Que seriously angry face at the BBC and an even more boring day!

 

[sare_bear]

Think it might be time for another complaint to bbc?!

 

[FestiveSpirit]

Quick Reply:

FFS does anyone do anything but complain to the BBC on here

The coverage yesterday was brilliant, yet not one person commented on that, and they are starting late today due to the number of withdrawals/eliminations which is totally outside their control

Be grateful for the coverage you have, everyone whinged enough that there wasnt red button coverage of Burghley, but now you have it for the Euros you are whinging because it is starting late

Rant over now

PS - definitely NOT aimed at one individual, just amazed at peoples attitudes here on the forum sometimes

1300-1500 BST, Show Jumping
1500-1700 BST, Highlights

the sj has now disappeared from the guide on my t

v

 

[ecb89]

oh no actually it now says its starts from 12.30

 

[kerrylou123]

where are you finding all this from? I can't find anything information, whatsoever, anywhere!

 

[dressage_diva]

TrailerTrash - I agree with some of what you said...I think we should be greatful for the amount of coverage we're getting from the BBC of the eventing champs, I think it's a bit disappointing they couldn't have put up something on the scrolling bar of the BBC Red Button page to say "European Eventing Champs - Show-jumping coverage delayed/cancelled due to number of withdrawals" or at least a statement on their website updating viewers. I'm sure if it was any other mainstream sport they'd at least ensure that people knew what was going on.
