	  Sheffield v Ipswich 8th AugustGeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League Danny’s was bend 2 - there is a cracking video on you tube of Lee Complin riding the same line a few years back - someone’s testimonial I think - don’t think the dirt line was piled up against the fence like it was last night. found it it was Garry Stead’s benefit

	  Sheffield v Ipswich 8th AugustGeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League I had this discussion on here before I even suggested could they widen the track as the football pitch no longer is used it was suggested it wasn’t an option -

	  Sheffield v Ipswich 8th AugustGeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League Huge relief to see Emil is ok - could have been so much worse!

	  Sheffield v Ipswich 8th AugustGeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League Best wishes for Emil - hope he is ok nasty horrible crash feel for Harris too as not much he could have done there!

	  Sheffield v Ipswich 8th AugustGeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League I don't feel the Witches will repeat their win from earlier but it might well be close - should be good and I plan to be there anyway.

	  Kings Lynn vs Leicester - Monday 5th AugustGeneralMelchett replied to StarBoy's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League Leicester hitting form at the right time it seems - If KL could have sorted themselves out earlier they might have had a chance of that final playoff spot as it is no chance now!

	  Leicester v Ipswich July 18thGeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League I'd take him anyday - he asked for a place at the end of last season but with Doyle and Emil in the plan there was no way he could be brought in but he could now for sure! isn't he tied to Kings Lynn although not in their side for now? I havent kept up to date with all the rider movements of late! Good result for Leicester as previously said they havent been riding to the level we know their riders can but tonight they took full advantage and secured a bigger win than I expected for sure. Witches were bound to lose there at some point!

	He was badly injured at Hackney (90 ithink badly broken leg ) took a season to recover and then switched to Arena in 1991 when we won the div 2 and got prompted under Terry Russell - where he had a fairly reasonable few seasons but he never was the same rider sadly! Still good and was a much liked / valued rider at Arena. All seems so long ago, Andy Silver me fabulous rider and my first speedway hero! By my reckoning both retired in the early -mid 90s so outside the scope - apologies but good memories anyway!

	  Speedway of Nations 2024GeneralMelchett replied to a4poster's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup Given your history on here - a little surprised you fell for that one! There was a few good riders on show - I suppose they were in the shop window if nothing else. If the also rans - Finland, etc had another rider as backup then it could have been more competitive, as it was I enjoyed it anyway. I expect it will be largely full for saturday lets just hope the weather is nice!

	  Speedway of Nations 2024GeneralMelchett replied to a4poster's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup I just hope they don’t lose a load of money on this!!

	  Speedway of Nations 2024GeneralMelchett replied to a4poster's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup Agree it’s poor but the weather won’t have helped - looks better that the sparsely attended ones in Poland - last year or whenever it was - Wrocław looked pretty deserted too for the first matches!

	  Speedway of Nations 2024GeneralMelchett replied to a4poster's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup Absolutely correct on mine too! Likely to be off now i reckon but lets see

	  Oxford v Ipswich 4th JulyGeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League I have just seen the heat on twitter - i really can't see how Nicholls got excluded there!

	  Oxford v Ipswich 4th JulyGeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League Just fell short of the 'full win' but a great result!
- 
	Wow that all sounds really nasty - glad he seems to be making the first steps to a recovery and also for clearing up any doubt about the crash too! I also think a donation is in order also! I hope he gets an insurance pay out?.
- 
	  Oxford v Ipswich 4th JulyGeneralMelchett replied to Arch Stanton's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League Be closer than monday for sure - Didn't Ipswich win there earlier in the season? - can they repeat this quite possibly!
- 
	Lets hope Tates makes a full recovery. His first crash looked nasty as well. And the people bellowing on here about fault, checking on riders etc need to take a long hard look at themselves!
- 
	Usual decent home win here - shame for Mountain to be dropped seems he has paid the price for 2 bad recent matches scoring just 2 and 1. Lets see how the new boy does - hes got an in form Keynan Rew in heat 2!!
