LEICESTER: v BIRMINGHAM: Thursday 28th August PL2

[GeneralMelchett]

Well I enjoyed that Birmingham gave it a good go and 2 late 5-1s give the scoreline a more flatterting look than the efforts of the top 4 for Birmingham deserved!

Brummies have been bloody good value at Leicester this season... more so than at their own (former) place

Definitely. Great to hear from the Brummies after the meeting too, with a particular shout out to Zagar who managed to drop the f-bomb at least eight times in a 3 minute interview.

Does anyone know if you can purchase the stream coverage retrospectively? 🤔

Kudos to Leicester who interviewed Andy Grahame, Nigel Tolley, Laurance Rogers and after the match the whole of the Birmingham team and management for those who stayed behind, even though there wasn't much said by the riders that wasn't about themselves, most of these riders seem to be so out of touch with the club and fans they ride for, sometimes it seems as though it would be better if they kept their helmets on and we could just live with the illusion that they actually care about the club they ride for.

Not so much kudos to Mr Zagar though, while a bit of language doesn't particularly bother me, effing & jeffing over the PA to the crowd is not big, clever or particularly that funny.

After the Allen/Wright fine I fully expect Mr Zagar to be receiving a similar fine for breach of SCB Reg 017.2 h) The use of any accessible form of media to propagate foul, abusive or offensive language, profane activity or fraudulent comments against any rider, official or member of the SCB or deemed to bring the ACU, SCB or BSP LTD into disrepute.

It will be very interesting if the SCB takes action. 
two years ago at the play off final in Sheffield a certain tai woffinden told the Ipswich fans via the PA to get on your broomsticks and f-off back to Ipswich.  
despite emails of complaint to BSPL and SCB it was brushed under the carpet as usual

That would be the same meeting when Doyle stepped up onto the podium to collect his loser's medal and gave double middle fingers to the whole watching crowd just because he got a few boos ?

Did any Ipswich fans include that in their emails of complaint ? Or did you only complain about the rider you don't like ?

I guess it's possible you had all taken Tai at his word and not hung around for the presentations. 😉

Yes I contacted LionsTV (infinity21) who confirmed I can buy the stream after the event - I will be doing so over the weekend.
