Ipswich v Belle Vue 14/08
GeneralMelchett replied to Aries's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well having been to both places - i seriously think tonights Crowd at Foxhall was 3k+ maybe even 4, decent weather school holidays etc but it brought them out. Despite the usual FTG and other mutterings from people who were NOT there the crowd loved it - several standing ovations after races etc - and we got to see 4 genuine top line riders in heat 13! I was happy! -

Given I was there I can tell you that the updates got heat 9 wrong - it said FTG - the reality was Brennan clamped Bewley on the inside on 1st / 2nd bend whilst King roared round the outside for the 5-1 - great riding and the crowd sure liked it π -

Take heart Aces fans, Kurtz can beat the best at Foxhall IF he gates, Zac Cook had a blistering meeting when riding for Wolves the other year so it can be done. I think the Witches will win but it won't be a walk in the park. I think something like 50-40 - looking forward to it anyway and plan to be there. -
Leicester vs Oxford PL R2 11/08/25 19:30
GeneralMelchett replied to IainB's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Never been on my radar but i saw him in the meeting at Foxhall on the BSN last week and I did think he looked a prospect! -
Well enjoyable meeting for in some ways - the racing was fairly close in a few heats and there was one or two really good overtaking moves, heat 5 in particular was very good. Aces fell away due to lack of support for the top 3 - Blodorn having a mare right now! Flint and Rowe certainly make the Tigers really strong at home as they back up the heatleaders so well, Morris seems to have picked up well after his layoff also.

Birmingham v King's Lynn 11.08.25
GeneralMelchett replied to Petecc's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Birmingham need to win, suspect Lynn will just squeeze home. -
I think maybe your make a good point about the age thing, being a senior statesman so to speak comes with a few responsilbilites, plus the desire to pass knowledge on. My tigers mate who attends every week - (and me) noticed how good Tai was with the younger lads, his team riding efforts were really good!

I watched the stream on BSN and admit to enjoying it - the track caused issues no doubt but there was also one or two really good races with some great overtaking moves. I shall, weather permitting, be at Foxhall next week for the visit of erm who is it againπ Ellis had a good meeting great overtake in heat 15 too! Well done to the Cheetahs for giving it a go - got away from then after heat 8.
