when you see a rider talk about buying a house on the lovely Gold Coast and then you watch the Ricky Ashworth video it's clear who is really in need.

Do it at the Austrailian GP for the Aussie rider, let the Aussie fans dig deep, I would be supportive if it was for a badly injured British rider and there are sadly a fair number of them he could be doing it for at the British GP.

How did you come to that strange comment, do you not understand what was said and the facts.

Talking of confused nationalities with speedway riders I love the I am proud to be Austrailian and proud to race for Australia but have a British passport.

Go and say that on the tai thread and you will be lynched by all the I love tai brigade. Lol

Yes they were not keen to release details but wanted people's money, then they wanted money to fly him to the uk, so shook the bucket more and were raising money all over the place, I said he must of made a few quid and all hell broke loose saying of course not that's why he needed money to fly him back. Then Darcy announced he was very well paid and sent his money back to Austrailia and was going to buy a home on the lovely Gold Coast which I think he has done. Steve Brandon is doing a walk for Darcy to the British GP raising money, which I think is a disappointing, he should be walking for British riders to the British GP or if he wants to do it for Darcy then do it in Australia and see if the Aussies will be so generous. It's the same thing in British speedway we continue to look after others but not our own. How did tai get on with his online chat, was it full of happy clappers.

Being a British world champion and doing nothing in Britain is not really helping the sport. Read the previous pages and you will see I am not the only one who feels tai let down by tai so I guess I am not on my own If Gavan says then it has to be true A lot of people supported my view on Darcy and I was sadly proved right by the words of Darcy.

I gather that not many do think on here and by the remarks don't get why the sport is in a real mess

You need to stop thinking lol

No I am heading out now and won't be back till later, not sure phone will do it. But if I see him After the GP I will ask him.

You can ask him 1) why he couldn't be bothered to ride in the British final and made weak excuses 2) why he didn't ride in the Ben fund 3) why is he seen singing the Aussie anthem but not the British 4) when is he adding a British flag tattoo as he loves the country that much. 5) does he think he deserves a team gb places after missing the British final 6) does it worry him that fans are upset he devalued the British final 7) what happened to the training schools ? You really are silly if you believe what your twaddle. I bet you believe he really did as you believe most things

The funny part is I have a number of people who agree with my views but won't post for the worry of abuse but they have PM me to say they agree.

Darren couldn't afford my fees to video it so that not going to happen, maybe Darren can get a number of questions on here from fans and do a video of him answering them. If I see him after the meeting on Saturday I will speak to him.

So you think I am an idiot for expecting top riders to support a very worthy fund for British riders in wheelchairs, you really need to stop thinking as your thoughts are silly.

Too my knowledge of football a player can only play for one team per season unlike speedway a rider can ride for teams in different countries that include Britain Has tai rode in the Ben fund as World Champion or does he think he is too big for it now.

Yes Scott should of rode in it and was very disappointing that he didn't bother. We saw the out cry for Darcy but the British guys in wheelchairs are forgotten and those top riders who got behind Darcy won't ride in a single meeting for the Ben fund, very sad. I honestly think tai should come out and support the Ben fund as a British World Champion and with him representing Britain in the World Cup if he wants to gain respect. Are you proud that tai doesn't support the Ben fund ?

What supporting evidence ? He didn't ride in the British final, he didn't ride in the Ben fund, he doesn't ride in British speedway, so what does he do for British speedway that benefits the sport and the fans.

How many people go to athletics ? How many go to watch diving ? How many go to watch a boxing match ? The ones I named are household names, tai isn't

So Darren have you text him about his views on the Ben fund, I think a lot of people would like to know why he doesn't support it but happy to support a wealthy Aussie riders fund.

I didn't say it as you have wrongly put it Mark Loram was and will always be a popular world champion and many will agree. You keep saying I and others dislike tai but avoid the reasons why which are very important to many people.

1) what I was saying about him being a disgrace for missing the British final is also the view of many British fans,so he is laughing at them too. 2) it was clear at the time why he chose the British path to further his career and look now he can't be bothered with British speedway or the British final plus the British Ben Fund, that's how much he loves Britain. 3) it is not a love of the sport but a business that maybe where he is going wrong.also how many kids have painted tai on their walls ? One Tai is an icon in a very small sport, but he is not a household name like Jessica Ennis-Hill, Paula Radcliffe,Andy Murray,Carl Froch,Tom Daley, to name a few from smaller sports. 4) Mark may of only Won one world title but the competition was tougher in 2000 when he won it than it was last year, the fact will always be that Mark loram will always be the most popular British world champion. Did you ask tai his thoughts on why he snubbed the Ben fund and if so did he laugh at that aswel as this is clearly Not important to him when in fact he is in prime spot as a British world champion to make a huge impact to a very worthwhile British speedway charity.

It really sums it up if he laughed that fans are upset about him missing the British final. I don't buy your facts about his true love of GB as he made that clear by missing the British Final. Maybe you should ask him why he is Not bothered about British riders in wheelchairs and the Ben fund ? Why has he got an Aussie flag and Not a British flag tattoo ? Tai is solely out for himself not for the love of Britain or the fans. He will never be as popular as mark loram however many titles he wins.

And it's also clear tai doesn't care about the British fans or the sport in this country. You really don't know me if you think I wouldn't say anything to tai when I see him. If you constantly dish things out in the manor Gavan did you expect it back,I did not mention any family member and it was directed solely at Gavan and how he got to meet mark loram. Nobody mentions the physical threats to me or my family funny that eh Let's hope bomber wins on Saturday he is the number 1 Brit in British speedway

I got a feeling this time he will sing it as he has come under pressure since he proudly sang the Aussie one.
