hence why occasionally you have to be prepared to be a bit ruthless to get to the very top - Nielsen was the classic example - Gundersen was the nicer chap but Nielsen was prepared to stuff you to get what he wanted hence why he was the more successful of the two, for the record I preferred Gundersen - lovely fella! I still love the picture i had taken with him at Cradley one saturday night - not long after that he was injured never to ride again!

No exactly this you donât often get to the very top by being nice! However Jackie boy ainât there yet - if you are going to be cocky and arrogant about beating a rival youâd best make sure you donât get out gated by two of his team mates in the most vital heats of the night! There is also respect between rivals or at least should be! It was good to see the acknowledgment after Masters has beaten him for a 2nd time! He will get there - cracking rider - he maybe will repeat what his brother did one day - just a bit of a walloper sometimes!

Ipswich v Belle Vue POSF Leg 2
GeneralMelchett replied to blue witch's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
It kind of goes against the pre meeting rallying cries about giving it a big effort. Don't talk about giving it the big 100% effort to get to the final if your actions on the night indicate otherwise. Each fan can make their own mind up, I've seen Brady trap and beat Emil / Jason at Ipswich a few times so he can and does do it. Given the track i would have expected him to put the big effort into gating and getting in front. He diodnt seem to be able to gate - nor did Emil for that matter. Anyway good that the Witches had no complacency and we got the result we sort of all expected anyway - who will they meet in the final!! -

Belle Vue -V- Ipswich POSF leg 1
GeneralMelchett replied to PhilTheAce's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well slight advantage to the Witches I reckon but would suggest no one gets cocky as we all remember 2023!! Not a great night for Emil he was slow away and lacked speed - Jason had a couple of those rides that remind you what a top rider he is! One of two really good races tonight - thought Dan T did well considering he was in the main body of the team and had to face Zach twice DanB and Brady in his 4 rides!! pleased for Jason Edwards too a decent performance to outshine his opposite number! enjoyed it anyway and looking forward to Thursday! -
Belle Vue -V- Ipswich POSF leg 1

Going to be a fascinating enocunter this as both teams are expected to win their home leg, the Witches last visit to the NSS proved that the Aces are vulnerable at home on occasions, as the Witches are themselves so all to play for. In my view it would be nice to have a Leceister V's Ipswich final so that at least in recent times we have a different winner to the last few years! -
