Eurosport, terrible professionalism.

From the man himself - many thanks! One of my go to winter speedway fixes is to watch the last seasons action on BSN!! thanks to all the others it seems that web browser for 25 is the best option!! -

Ah that’s something that I can / could do yes!! -

yes good point hadn't thought of that actually! I have all the right cables etc - current Smart TV less than a year old so it will be a while but i can screen mirror etc! I wasn't thinking 'laterally' as the saying goes! -
so would I but.....it's going to be silly season with all the I know something you dont etc - only a few posters on here are on the money with the 'i heard summat down the pub' predictions so lets see!

Tobi might get his wish a year later than planned! I wouldnt be upset with him at Foxhall altho that would mean no Emil (in all probability)

After a freebie or attention is probably nearer the mark! -

Whilst this might seem ideal this is how mediocrity sets in again, BSN get bought or absored into Eurosport and the big company producer calls the shots and we end up back where we started with poor coverage and production! I think the BSN shoudl stay independant, I am tempted to ditch discovery plus next year and get a warts and all BSN pass instead, the only thing that stopes me is what app would stream BSN on a smart TV as i dont really want to watch on my computer or ipad. The issue with ES for me seems to be no one involved seems to either understand or care about speedway, its just another recording job and it shows! Helmet cam is perhaps fine for a replay but its such a ludicrous feature when the race is ongoing and it drives me mad. I think Abby is fine as a presenter - not the best but certainly not thr worst! -
Sheffield v Belle Vue.

Sheffield v Belle Vue.
GeneralMelchett replied to Odds On's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Hes had a very good play offs but when i saw him at Sheffield earlier in the season I think he got 4 so lets not lose our heads here! -

Advantage BV I feel! -
Sheffield v Belle Vue.
GeneralMelchett replied to Odds On's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Well my prediction was wrong - fair play to BV - Kurtz gave two captains rides in my view heat 1 and then heat 13, Hope Ben Cook is ok! -
Sheffield v Belle Vue.

Hopefully lots of landing of blows and widing it on around the outside too! Seriously lets hope for a belter! -
Belle Vue -V Sheffield POSFs
GeneralMelchett replied to Phil The Ace's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Last heat 5-1 makes the 2nd leg more interesting for sure at say 49-41 or less I’d be predicting a Sheffield v Leicester Final the aces have a chance to defence this but I still think Sheffield will get through overall! good nights entertainment however thanks to all the riders for having a go! -
Yes if your aunty had had balls etc

Was a bigger crowd for the bank holiday fixture! Drives me mad this on board stuff wish they would just bin it tigers hanging in their despite nil from Josh thus far! -
i mean grand final
-
Being honest wouldn't have a problem with them all back - I think in many ways we all know a fully fit Witches would in all probability have made it to the finals this season. Most of the riders have for me done their jobs for most of the season a couple of frustrations remain but for next year - i think Brennan if they could get him in that would be great. Doyle of course and Emil again be great but lets see! Dan T deserves and other go and Keynan Rew could make it a third season of progression - he's done well this season for me. Adam is a decent no 2 or 4 also. I still don't have an issue with Danny he has largely done whats asked but I feel Tom B for him might freshen it up and bring in a rider on the up rather than one who is nearing the end of his career.

Having seen both sides ride at each others places this season I feel Sheffield ride the NSS better than BV do Owlerton - of course it could all change once the action starts! -

Haven't changed my view on this - home win tonight with a bigger home win on Thursday! -
Belle Vue -V Sheffield POSFs
GeneralMelchett replied to Phil The Ace's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Agree here - expect a Sheffield win on aggregate - the Lions generally do well at Owlerton so thats the best final IMHO -
Kings performance last night wasn't good - I'm not going to get stuck in a long protracted debate about things but last season the Witches won the cup and i believe Danny was in that side, fate has intervened for 2024 with injuries but yes in 2024 the Witches haven't won anything other than sympathy!
