Leicester vs Kings Lynn 17/7/23
GeneralMelchett replied to Lenny Lion's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Usual - I was in the pub and a bloke said type stuff - spent all winter filtering the truth from the erm well non truths -
Not forgetting a match winners score at Wolves last season too. He simply isn’t fit / recovered whatever it is that’s wrong!

Would have been hobsons choice for you anyway given your opinion of Batch

Ipswich v Belle Vue 13th July
GeneralMelchett replied to Gavan's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
He had a good start 3,2 then after the rain couldn’t gate and seemed to lose ground badly getting 1,0 - if ever there was a meeting of two halves - that was it. He was twice beaten in 1-5s by Tom Brennan and his race partner - I am sure Danny would be the first to admit he should have been better placed in those races. on a brighter note the wetter conditions really seemed to suit Dan Thompson and was great to see him get some points regardless of how you see his inclusion in the side! -

Cook had stated himself that he was disinclined to make long distance travel to ride at a loss earnings wise - no idea if that related to Ipswich, probably not - but it implies he has been approached by someone to ride for them in the PL at some point. -
Birmingham v Glasgow 12/07/23
GeneralMelchett replied to Petecc's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
a club might pay it to get them racing for them! Seem to recall it was a Mexican standoff like this that kept Michael Lee away for so long before he made a comeback in the early 90s - it was Kings Lynn -

Given I wtach most of my speedway at Foxhall - the weather is generally very good in summer there and its the first time in ages I have seen riders filled in and covered with shale! -

If your mind boggles at that maybe you ain't as clever as you think you are - seriously how many people do you think would seriously have the time committment and dedication to do the job!? -

GeneralMelchett replied to Gavan's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
no disgareement from me there! I said to a couple of guys sat behind me how I was dreading heats 12 and 14 as based on how the night was going that was the weak spot! People were also a bit too confident about Emil and Doyle getting another 5-1 in heat 15 after they had done in 13 - as it was Kurtz the little rotter leapt out of the gate and stayed in front! -

Unless they have changed it - it says 'refused to comply with the testing procedure' which could mean a number of things! -

I think more was needed from King and Danyon tonight - Erik needs to be dropped as he clearly isn’t race fit / mixing it! -

GeneralMelchett replied to Petecc's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Well you are effectively saying I don’t expect to pass it I would say! it’s a bit of a gamble really out of 14 riders they pick 4 - that’s over a 25% chance you will be picked! Silly! I remember Danny Bird promising rider did we ever see him again after failing one of these? -

Well like me you can go for the hat trick - I seem to guarantee an away win this season!
