My SAEF form has

{exp:safecracker channel="fixtures" 
    return="fixtures/thanks_row" 
    datepicker="no"
} 

I am trying to create a select statement that gets its data from another channel

<select name="fixture_home_team[]>
        {exp:channel:entries disable="member_data|pagination" channel="teams" dynamic="no" orderby="title" sort="asc" category="13" }
            <option value="{cat_id}">{title}</option>
        {/exp:channel:entries}
        </select> 

But because it is within the exp safecracker tags it displays the title from this rather than the teams channel.

Try sticking the select into an embed

{exp:safecracker channel="fixtures" 
    return="fixtures/thanks_row" 
    datepicker="no"
}
    {embed=fixtures/home_team} 

<select name="fixture_home_team[]>
        {exp:channel:entries disable="member_data|pagination" channel="teams" dynamic="no" orderby="title" sort="asc" category="13" }
            <option value="{cat_id}">{title}</option>
        {/exp:channel:entries}
        </select>

That works but it actually won’t help me I am trying to add a new entry and that field is a relationship so its not going to work for me

I assume you can’t have another channel entries like that for future reference.
